Komatsu PC300-6 PC350-6 PC400-6 PC450-6 Excavator Main Control Valve
Part Numbers: 723-47-16102, 723-47-16103, 723-47-17101
Common Faults
- Slow and weak machine movements
- Weak operation of single actuator (boom / arm / bucket / swing / travel)
- Jerky and vibrating movement
- Interference during combined operation, poor flow merging
- External leakage of main control valve, oil seepage and oil leakage on valve body
- Severe internal leakage, rapid pressure drop and poor pressure retention
- Spool sticking, no response of corresponding function
- Worn overload relief valve, low system pressure
- Damaged check valve, abnormal return of operation
- Scuffed valve bore, continuously increasing internal leakage
- Unstable pilot control pressure, erratic movement speed
- Aging and failure of seals, multiple oil leaks
Procurement Recommendations
- Prioritize internal leakage test to decide repair or full assembly replacement
- Replace the whole main control valve assembly if valve bore is severely scuffed
- For slight spool wear, replace spool and seal kit separately
- Verify part numbers when purchasing relief valves and check valves
- Adopt high-quality seals to avoid repeated oil leakage in short term
- Inspect appearance before delivery to ensure no sand holes or cracks on valve body
