Kawasaki M5X Piston Motor

Kawasaki M5X Piston Motor

High-performance swing power. Compact by design, proven in the field.

The Kawasaki M5X is a fixed displacement, swash plate type axial piston motor built for excavator and crane swing applications. It integrates the relief valve, make-up valve, mechanical brake, and rotating group into a single compact package — simplifying installation while delivering the precise, responsive swing performance that demanding jobsites require. The enlarged mounting flange connects directly to the reduction gear ring, keeping the drivetrain tight and the machine productive.

As New Zealand's only authorised Kawasaki distributor and service agent, FPD supplies genuine M5X motors and parts with the technical support to match.
