India's Most Common 20-Ton Excavator Pump
The PC210-8 runs a Komatsu HPV95 — an in-house-designed variable displacement axial piston pump, part of the 20-tonne class HPV series that also drives the PC200 and PC220. It's mounted in tandem configuration, supplying both the working equipment (boom/arm/bucket) and the travel drive from a single housing. This page covers exact specs, part number references, common fault symptoms, and pricing for this specific model.
The HPV95 replaced the older HPV90 with Komatsu's transition to the -6 generation, carrying a new housing and revised shaft while keeping the same 20-tonne equipment class. Genuine Komatsu part numbers for this pump family follow the "708" series format — the prefix identifies hydraulic pump/motor components generally, while the "-2L" suffix specifically marks PC200/PC210/PC220-size pumps (the HPV95 series). A complete PC210-7 assembly is referenced as 708-2L-00300; the updated PC210-8 version is 708-2L-00400.

The HPV95 is known for reliability, but after roughly 6,000-8,000 operating hours, wear symptoms typically appear gradually before becoming severe.
| Symptom | Likely Cause |
|---|---|
| Slightly more noise, slower cycle times | Early-stage wear — worth monitoring, not yet urgent |
| Higher operating temperature than usual | Progressing internal wear or contamination |
| Fault code CA428 on monitor panel | Solenoid valve circuit malfunction on the pump's electronic displacement control — the ECM detects abnormal voltage in the proportional solenoid that regulates pump output, often triggered by a worn/damaged solenoid valve, corroded connectors near the pump mounting bracket, or contaminated oil affecting solenoid response |
| Erratic pressure — surging or dropping unpredictably | Often accompanies CA428; the ECM may enter failsafe mode limiting output to protect the system |
If your PC210-8 is showing CA428, check the wiring harness near the pump mounting bracket for chafing or corrosion before assuming the pump itself has failed — this is a documented weak point on this model. If the harness checks out, the issue is more likely internal to the pump or solenoid.
Measured against Komatsu's original HPV95 tolerance specification.
Tested for correct electronic displacement control response — directly relevant given CA428's common root causes.
Replaced as standard on every unit.
Verified at 350 bar rated pressure, output documented on the written test report.
