Detail Information

1. Key Features & Benefits

• Genuine Kawasaki KPM travel motor – OEM part numbers LS15V00002F2 and MX500130. Manufactured by Kawasaki Precision Machinery (KPM), a world leader in hydraulic components for excavators. This is a brand‑new, factory‑fresh unit – not remanufactured, not rebuilt.

• Designed for Kobelco SK450‑6 and compatible 45‑ton class excavators – Engineered specifically for the SK450‑6, SK480‑6E, and related large excavators. The motor powers the track drive system, delivering the torque and traction required for heavy mining, quarrying, and large‑scale earthmoving operations.

• Axial piston motor with two‑speed travel capability – Features a variable displacement axial piston design with integrated two‑speed functionality. The operator can switch between high‑speed travel for site repositioning and low‑speed, high‑torque crawling for demanding digging, climbing, and pushing operations – without compromising tractive force.

• Integrated wet multi‑disc parking brake – Spring‑applied, hydraulically‑released wet disc brake is built directly into the motor assembly. It engages automatically when travel controls return to neutral, holding the 47‑ton machine securely on slopes. The brake releases instantly when a travel command is given – no drift, no creep.

• Planetary reduction gearbox – The motor is paired with a multi‑stage planetary gear reduction system that converts high‑speed hydraulic input into the low‑speed, high‑torque output required to drive the track sprockets. This design provides the tractive force needed for a 47‑ton excavator operating in the toughest conditions.

• High‑efficiency Kawasaki hydraulic design – Known for high efficiency, low noise, energy savings, long service life, and precise control. The motor delivers smooth, responsive power transfer with minimal internal leakage – keeping oil temperatures stable and cycle times fast.

• Direct bolt‑on replacement – Mounting flange, spline interface, and hydraulic port configurations match the original Kawasaki KPM specifications exactly. No modifications, no adapters – your mechanic unbolts the old motor and bolts this one in.

• Pre‑shipment visual verification – Before packing, we send you detailed high‑resolution photographs of the actual unit (mounting flange, splines, port threads, castings, overall condition). You approve shipment – we never ship blind.

• Fast delivery – 1–3 working days lead time from our Guangzhou warehouse. Monthly supply capacity of 1,000 units, available for single‑piece or bulk orders.

2. Applications

The Kawasaki KPM SK450‑6 travel motor is the power source for 45‑ton class excavators used in the most demanding heavy industries:

• Large‑scale open‑pit mining – 45‑ton excavators are the backbone of many copper, gold, iron ore, and coal mining operations. The two‑speed travel capability allows fast repositioning between loading faces while providing the low‑speed torque needed for climbing steep ramps and pushing through overburden. A genuine Kawasaki motor delivers the reliability required for 20+ hour shifts in remote mine sites.

• Quarrying & aggregates – Loading trucks, stockpile management, and material handling in granite, limestone, and basalt quarries. The integrated wet disc brake holds the machine securely on stockpile slopes, while the planetary reduction system provides the tractive force needed for pushing through loose material.

• Heavy construction & infrastructure – Dam building, highway cuts, tunnel portals, and large‑scale earthmoving projects. The motor’s smooth, responsive control allows precise positioning for grading and fine‑grading work, while high‑speed travel enables efficient relocation between work zones.

• Demolition & scrap processing – Shock loads, vibration, and sharp debris are routine in demolition yards and metal recycling facilities. The Kawasaki KPM motor’s robust cast iron housing and hardened internal components absorb these extreme conditions.

• Equipment rental fleet maintenance – 45‑ton excavators are high‑value rental assets. A genuine new motor provides predictable service life and eliminates the gamble of remanufactured or used units – avoiding costly mid‑rental failures, towing bills, and customer complaints.

• Forestry & land clearing – Steep slopes, fallen timber, and uneven terrain demand reliable track drive performance. The two‑speed capability allows operators to switch between high‑speed travel on logging roads and low‑speed, high‑torque crawling through muddy, obstructed work areas.

3. FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is this motor an exact replacement for my Kobelco SK450‑6?
A: Yes. The LS15V00002F2 / MX500130 is the genuine Kawasaki KPM travel motor for the Kobelco SK450‑6. It also fits the SK480‑6E. To confirm compatibility for your specific machine variant, send us your machine serial number and a photo of the old motor nameplate – we will verify within 2 hours.

Q2: Is this a new motor or a remanufactured unit?
A: It is brand new / genuine original, not remanufactured. All internal components are new. The motor is manufactured by Kawasaki Precision Machinery (KPM) to original specifications and meets all OEM performance standards. Kawasaki KPM is one of the world’s leading suppliers of hydraulic pumps and motors for excavators.

Q3: What is the warranty on this motor?
A: Warranty period is 6 to 12 months depending on product details. We do not provide warranty service for genuine original parts. Our value is delivered up front: genuine Japanese components, new‑condition motor, and pre‑shipment visual verification. For customers who require a warranty‑covered option, we can quote aftermarket alternatives – ask our sales team.

Q4: What is the difference between the LS15V00002F2 and MX500130 part numbers?
A: The LS15V00002F2 and MX500130 are the same genuine Kawasaki KPM travel motor – different OEM reference numbers used by Kobelco and Kawasaki for the same unit. Both numbers are interchangeable and refer to the identical motor specification.

Q5: How long does delivery take?
A: Delivery is 1–3 working days after order confirmation from our Guangzhou warehouse. Express shipping (DHL/FedEx/UPS) is available for urgent orders.

Q6: What payment methods do you accept?
A: We accept T/T (wire transfer), XTransfer, and Western Union.

Q7: How can I verify the motor is genuine before shipping?
A: Before packing, we send you clear, high‑resolution photographs of the actual unit – mounting flange, splines, port threads, casting marks, and overall condition. You approve shipment only after reviewing these images. We never ship blind.

Q8: What oil should I use with this motor?
A: The hydraulic motor section uses the excavator’s main hydraulic oil (typically ISO VG 46 or VG 68). The planetary gearbox side requires gear oil – refer to your Kobelco SK450‑6 operator’s manual for the correct viscosity and specification. Never use hydraulic oil in the planetary gearbox – it lacks the extreme‑pressure additives required for gear protection.

Critical installation tip for the SK450‑6 travel motor:
– The case drain line must be clear and unrestricted. A blocked or kinked case drain will build back pressure inside the motor housing and blow the shaft seal instantly on first startup.
– Before installing the new motor, flush the hydraulic system and replace all filters. Contaminants from a failed motor will destroy a new motor just as quickly as an old one.
– Use new O‑rings and sealing washers on every hydraulic connection. Reused seals guarantee leaks.
– Fill the planetary gearbox side with the correct gear oil (refer to your SK450‑6 manual) before first operation. The motor section is lubricated by the hydraulic system; the gearbox has a separate fill port.
– After installation, run the engine at low idle for 2–3 minutes, then slowly cycle the travel controls in both directions to purge air from the circuit. The machine may not move immediately – that is normal until the system is bled.
– Check motor alignment with the track frame mounting surface – misalignment causes premature bearing failure.

Warranty note: Warranty period is 6 to 12 months depending on product details. We do not provide warranty service for genuine original parts. Our value is delivered up front: genuine Kawasaki KPM components, new‑condition motor, and pre‑shipment visual verification. For customers who require a warranty‑covered option, we can quote aftermarket alternatives – ask our sales team.
