The K3V140 pump is designed and manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, a renowned name in the hydraulic industry.
It is part of their K3V series of axial piston pumps and is known for its exceptional performance and durability. The pump is specifically designed for applications that require high-pressure and high-flow capabilities.
One of the primary specifications of the K3V140 pump is its maximum operating pressure. It can handle pressures up to 35 MPa (350 bar), making it suitable for demanding hydraulic systems that require significant power. This high-pressure capacity ensures efficient and effective operation in heavy machinery such as excavators, cranes, and other construction equipment.
Another important specification is the displacement of the pump. The K3V140 has a displacement of 140 cm³/rev, indicating the volume of hydraulic fluid it can deliver per revolution. This displacement value determines the flow rate of the pump, and a higher displacement allows for greater flow and faster hydraulic actuation.
The pump is designed to accommodate various types of hydraulic fluids, including mineral oils, biodegradable oils, and fire-resistant fluids. This versatility allows for flexibility in choosing the appropriate hydraulic fluid for different applications, depending on environmental concerns, safety regulations, and equipment requirements.
The K3V140 pump features an axial piston design, where the pistons move parallel to the pump's drive shaft.
This design ensures smooth and efficient operation, reducing friction and wear on the pump components. The pistons are precisely controlled by a swash plate mechanism, which adjusts the angle to regulate the flow rate and pressure output of the pump.
To enhance the reliability and longevity of the pump, Kawasaki has incorporated various advanced features. These include a pressure compensation system that maintains stable pressure levels, a highly efficient suction control valve to optimize efficiency, and a high-response servo system for precise control and reduced energy consumption.
The K3V140 pump is also designed with serviceability in mind. It features a modular design with easy access to key components, facilitating maintenance and minimizing downtime. Kawasaki provides comprehensive technical support and spare parts availability, ensuring efficient servicing and extended pump life.
