A European excavator repair and spare parts dealer received an urgent request from an end-user client. An aging Bobcat 322 Mini Excavator suffered severe oil leakage and internal wear in its Rotating Hydraulic Motor, causing a complete operational breakdown.
The client initially attempted to source OEM parts or original repair kits (Char-Lynn / Danfoss nameplate series), but ran into two major roadblocks:
Gasket / Sealing Kit, technical assessment indicated overall performance degradation of the motor. Replacing seals alone posed a high risk of secondary failure, creating an urgent need for a cost-effective complete hydraulic motor replacement solution.![]()
Based on the Char-Lynn nameplate data (104-3177-006) provided by the client and the original hydraulic system requirements of the Bobcat 322, the Hydstar Hydraulic technical team conducted precise parameter matching and replacement evaluation:
| Technical Specifications | OEM Spec (Original) | Hydstar Replacement Spec |
|---|---|---|
| Application | Bobcat 322 Mini Excavator | Bobcat 322 Mini Excavator |
| Part Number / Series | Char-Lynn 104-3177-006 / Danfoss | Hydstar H-104 Series Equivalent |
| Displacement | 100 - 125 cc/rev | 100 - 125 cc/rev |
| Max. Working Pressure | 14 MPa (140 bar) | 17.5 MPa (175 bar) |
| Ports A/B Connection | 7/8-14 UNF O-ring | 7/8-14 UNF O-ring |
| Drain Port (T) | 7/16-20 UNF O-ring | 7/16-20 UNF O-ring |
| Flange & Shaft Spec | 4-Bolt Flange / Splined Shaft | 100% Direct Mounting Fit |
| Availability & Delivery | Out of Stock / Discontinued | In Stock (Immediate Airfreight) |
* Note: While maintaining 100% physical mounting compatibility, the Hydstar replacement motor increased maximum allowable pressure by approximately 25%, delivering stronger rotation torque and an extended service life.
Upon confirming OEM stock shortages, the client remained cautious about transitioning to an aftermarket alternative. To address concerns regarding mounting dimensions and hydraulic circuit connections, Hydstar Hydraulic demonstrated engineering expertise and fast execution:
