Tokyo, September 28, 2015 - Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. announced today that it will launch its M7V/M7X series of swash plate type axial piston motors on October 1, 2015.

The M7V variable displacement motors and M7X fixed displacement motors feature the most outstanding high-speed performance of any swash plate motor on the market. These hydraulic motors are designed to perform a wide range of operations, including powering winches, drills, and other construction machines, as well as HST* drive systems for industrial vehicles. When used for HST drive systems, the M7V/M7X series can be combined with any of the newly released K8V series swash plate type axial piston pumps.

In putting the M7V/M7X series together, Kawasaki leveraged its vast experience in the field of construction machinery and industrial vehicles, whilst employing the fluid dynamics technology it cultivated through aircraft and rolling stock R&D to incorporate newly developed rotary components (pistons, cylinders, etc.). On top of the swash plate motor’s unique compact design, the M7V/M7X series delivers high-speed performance as never seen before. These motors start up fast to ensure smooth operation and work outstandingly well at low speeds in delicate operations where precision performance is a must. All these features enhance motor operability and make installing the M7V/M7X in industrial vehicles simple.

Electric or hydraulic pilot-operated proportional control and constant pressure control make this series the ideal choice for a wide range of needs.

The M7V series includes the M7V112 (with a displacement of 112 cm3) and the M7V160 (with a displacement of 160 cm3), which are slated to be released on October 1, 2015, as well as the M7V85 (with a displacement of 85 cm3), scheduled to debut in the summer of 2016.

HST (hydrostatic transmission) is a type of transmission mechanism that transmits power from an engine by adjusting displacement from a hydraulic pump and hydraulic motor to make continuously variable transmission possible.
