Swing Motor Reducer Assembly for Komatsu PC400-7 PC450-7 PC400-8 PC450-8 Excavator
Procurement Guidelines
- Verify OEM part numbers: 706-7K-01040, 706-7K-01070, 208-26-00211
- Confirm assembly compatibility with PC400-7 models, including swing motor, reducer, and parking brake components
- Request bench test reports for pressure, rotating torque, and internal leakage for both new and remanufactured units
- For remanufactured assemblies, verify replacement of pistons, valve plates, planetary gears, bearings, and oil seals
- Inspect housing for cracks and check oil seal integrity upon arrival
- Protect ports during handling to prevent contamination
- Secure assembly during transportation to prevent impact damage to shafts and gear components
- Clean connecting pipelines before installation, replace hydraulic filters, and properly bleed air from system
- Test swing speed, swing torque, parking brake function, and check for oil leakage after installation
Common Fault Analysis
-
Piston & Valve Plate Wear, High Internal Leakage
Symptoms: Weak swing power; swing slows under load; temperature rises when hot
Cause: Dirty hydraulic oil causes wear of friction pairs
-
Planetary Gear / Bearing Damage, Abnormal Noise
Symptoms: Grinding or knocking noise during rotation; swing jitter
Cause: Lack of gear oil, gear tooth wear or damaged bearing
-
Parking Brake Failure
Symptoms: Swing slips on slope; brake cannot release, unable to rotate
Cause: Damaged brake disc, weak spring, blocked brake oil passage
-
Oil Seal Leakage
Symptoms: Oil leaks from motor shaft or reducer joint surface
Cause: Aged seals, high internal pressure, shaft surface scratch
-
Stuck Counterbalance Valve
Symptoms: Swing jerky, slow start or stop, impact during rotation
Cause: Dirt stuck in valve spool, spring fatigue
-
Output Shaft Spline Wear
Symptoms: Power transmission unstable; swing no response under heavy load
Cause: Spline abrasion due to long-time impact load
