Swash plate for Kawasaki K3VL112/B-1NR MM-PO

The swash plate, part number 425-5221, functions as a central component within axial piston hydraulic pumps. Its primary role involves controlling the displacement of the pistons housed within the cylinder block. By adjusting the angle of inclination of the swash plate, the pump modifies the piston stroke, which directly regulates the flow and pressure of the hydraulic fluid supplied to the machine system. This mechanism allows the pump to adapt its output to the power demands of the equipment in real time.

This component is designed for use in the Kawasaki K3VL112/B-1NR MM-PO hydraulic pump. The swash plate angle is typically managed by a servo-assisted mechanism, ensuring that the pump responds to operator inputs or electronic control signals. Proper alignment and surface integrity of the swash plate are necessary for the pump to maintain consistent hydraulic performance. When the swash plate angle changes, the resulting change in piston stroke determines the volume of fluid displaced during each rotation of the pump shaft. This variable displacement capability is fundamental to the operation of hydraulic systems in heavy machinery, allowing for precise control over actuators and attachments.
