Product Overview
The KAWASAKI K3VL / K3VG Series is a family of heavy-duty axial piston pumps engineered by Kawasaki Precision Machinery for high-pressure, high-flow industrial and mobile hydraulic systems. These variable displacement pumps utilize a swashplate-type axial piston design, where multiple pistons reciprocate within a precision-machined cylinder barrel as the swashplate angle is adjusted to vary displacement. The K3VL series is optimized for open-loop circuits with a compact, high power-density envelope, while the K3VG series is configured for high-pressure open-loop applications requiring robust displacement controls and superior volumetric efficiency. Both series deliver smooth, stable flow across a wide speed range and are widely specified as primary pressure sources in demanding continuous-duty hydraulic power units.
