The hydraulic pump in the Kobelco SK200 is responsible for converting mechanical power into hydraulic energy.
It supplies pressurized fluid to various hydraulic cylinders and motors, enabling the excavator to perform a range of tasks such as digging, lifting, and pushing heavy loads. The hydraulic pump acts as the heart of the hydraulic system, ensuring smooth and efficient operation.
The pump used in the SK200 is a variable displacement axial piston pump. This type of pump is known for its high efficiency and precise control of hydraulic flow. It allows for variable flow rates, depending on the demand of the system, which optimizes power consumption and reduces fuel consumption.
The hydraulic pump is driven by the excavator's engine through a power transmission system. As the engine rotates, it drives the pump's swash plate, which determines the pump's displacement and, subsequently, the flow rate of hydraulic fluid. The pump's displacement can be adjusted according to the required workload, allowing for precise control over the excavator's movements.
The hydraulic pump in the Kobelco SK200 is designed to withstand demanding working conditions. It is built with high-quality materials and undergoes rigorous testing to ensure durability and long service life. The pump is designed to handle high pressures and continuous heavy-duty operation, making it suitable for various applications.
To ensure optimal performance and longevity, regular maintenance and inspection of the hydraulic pump are essential.
This includes monitoring the pump's fluid levels, checking for leaks or unusual noises, and replacing worn-out or damaged components as needed. Proper maintenance not only extends the pump's lifespan but also ensures the overall efficiency of the excavator.
In addition to the main hydraulic pump, the SK200 may also feature auxiliary hydraulic pumps for specific attachments or functions. These auxiliary pumps provide additional hydraulic power to operate attachments such as hydraulic breakers, thumbs, or tiltrotators. They are typically controlled separately and offer flexibility in adapting the excavator for different tasks.
