Selection guides
Step-by-step guides for the assemblies that are usually bought as a pair - swing device and travel assembly - plus the model comparisons. Each guide states the measurements that decide fitment, in the order a workshop checks them.
How to use these guides
Each guide is written as a workshop sequence, not as a specification dump. The order matters: the first steps are the ones that are cheap to check and expensive to get wrong.
- Start from the nameplate, not from the machine badge. A 20 t class machine can carry more than one pump family depending on the year and the market it was built for.
- Record the numbers before you order. Displacement, rated pressure, maximum speed and the control suffix (DT / DTP / DTH / SH) are what the catalogue is indexed by.
- Confirm the mechanical interface. Shaft spline, flange bolt circle, pilot diameter and rotation decide whether the assembly fits at all — this is what a photo of the old unit answers fastest.
- Match the assembly as a pair where the machine uses one. Swing motor and reduction gear, or travel motor and planetary reducer, are matched on ratio and brake torque, not on displacement alone.
- Send the measurement, not the description. A case drain flow, a relief reading or a flange measurement lets us confirm the variant in one reply instead of three.
Guides are compiled from the FLUTEK English catalogue dated 2024-11-25 and from repair cases we handle. Every figure that cannot be verified from the catalogue is marked on the page instead of being estimated.
The guides
FRG swing device selection
M5X130CHB and M5X180CHB, the three FRG ratios and the brake torque ratings that decide the assembly.
Travel assembly selection
Five travel assembly models from 5 t to 26 t, with the flange, ratio and brake details to confirm.
Large-class pump selection
K3V180DT, K5V200DTH and K5V200SH side by side, and the mistake that costs the most in this class.
Model comparisons
K3V112DTP vs K5V140DTP, single vs tandem, K3V140DTP vs K3V180DT.
Fault diagnosis guides
Five checklists for the symptoms that usually lead to an order: swing slow, travel weak, no pressure, noise and heat, contamination.
