Swash plate for Terex HC230

The swash plate, part number 0750 041 11, serves as a primary component within the hydraulic systems of the Terex HC230 crane. It is specifically integrated into the axial piston pumps and motors to manage the conversion between rotational shaft movement and the reciprocal action of the pistons. By adjusting the angle of the swash plate, the system modifies the displacement of the pump or motor, which directly regulates the hydraulic flow and operational speed of the machine. This mechanism is essential for the control of lifting and slewing functions, allowing the crane to respond to operator inputs with the required precision.

This component is designed for fitment in the Terex HC230 model. In hydraulic axial piston units, the swash plate acts as the interface that determines the stroke length of the pistons. When the plate is at an angle, the pistons move in and out of their bores during rotation, drawing in and discharging hydraulic fluid. A variable-angle swash plate allows for dynamic adjustments to the system's output, enabling the machine to adapt its power delivery based on the specific demands of the task at hand.
