KOMATSU excavator pc300 swing pump
The swing pump of the Komatsu PC300-7 excavator is a precision hydraulic unit responsible for supplying oil to the swing motor of the upper structure. This pump is a gear-type design with a volumetric capacity of approximately 45 to 55 liters per minute and an operating pressure of 280 bar. The housing is made of alloy steel with a hardness of 210 to 230 Brinell, ensuring excellent wear and fatigue resistance. Its drive shaft is supported by rolling bearings with a diameter of 45 millimeters for stability and durability.
In terms of type, the Komatsu PC300-7 swing pump operates as an internal gear hydraulic unit that directs oil into the swing motor circuit through the rotation of its driving gear. Heat-resistant O-rings capable of withstanding up to 120 degrees Celsius prevent leakage under high pressure. The pump achieves a volumetric efficiency greater than 92 percent under standard conditions, which ensures smooth and precise swing system performance during heavy-duty excavation tasks.
The repair process of the swing pump involves complete disassembly of the housing, inspection of the gears for wear or micro-cracks, and measurement of radial clearance with a feeler gauge. If the clearance exceeds 0.08 millimeters, gear replacement becomes necessary. Bearings and seals m
