Radial piston motors Kawasaki Staffa description
Kawasaki Staffa motors are low-speed/high-torque radial piston motors that feature a simple design, with radial pistons working directly on an eccentric cam.
This type of two-speed motor allows you to select from a wide range of displacements to meet specific application requirements. Staffa motors can also come in a three-speed version with three preset displacements.
The available series of Staffa motors are:
- HMB/HMC (standard motors)
- HPB/HPC (enhanced version of the HMB/HMC series)
- HMF (3-speed motors)
Technical data by series
Staffa radial piston motors for high torque at low speed, with hydrostatic balancing. HMB and HPB are fixed displacement, HMC and HPC dual displacement, HMF triple displacement. Values from the official Kawasaki Precision Machinery catalogues.
| Series | Type | Displacements (cm³/rev) | Sizes | Continuous pressure | Peak / intermittent pressure | Shaft power (kW) | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HMB | Fixed displacement, standard | 492–8,000 | 11 in the performance table | 300 bar (HMB030: 250; HMB500: 230) | 405 bar (HMB030 and HMB500: 350) | 52–170 | Orderable from the supplier |
| HPB | Fixed displacement, high power | 983–5,322 | 8 | 300 bar | 405 bar | 131–278 | Orderable from the supplier |
| HMC | Dual displacement, also continuously variable | 492–5,326 | 7 | 250 bar (HMC030: 207) | 275 bar (HMC030: 241) | 60–189 (continuous) | Orderable from the supplier |
| HPC | Dual displacement, high power | 1,600–5,326 | 5 | 250 bar | 275 bar | 165–278 with case flushing (138–189 without) | Orderable from the supplier |
| HMF | Triple displacement | 1,524–5,326 | 4 | 250 bar | 275 bar | 138–189 (continuous) | Orderable from the supplier |
For HMB and HPB the power is that given as Power Rating in the catalogue. Maximum speeds depend on series, size and selected displacement (for HMB and HPB from 100 to 450 rpm). For HMC, HPC and HMF intermittent pressures are permitted with a limited duty cycle, as stated in the catalogues. With fire-resistant fluids pressure and speed limits are reduced: contact us for verification.
Versions and control

- HMC and HPC: also available with continuous variation, hydromechanical or electro-hydraulic control
- HMF: three preset displacements, selected with remote directional valves
- Freewheeling: possible on all Staffa motors; the catalogue indicates HMC, HPC and HMF as the preferred solution
Catalogue options
- Fluids: mineral oil, phosphate ester HFD (F3), water-based fluids HFA, HFB and HFC (F11)
- High-pressure and/or longer-life shaft seal
- Marine paint; marine-type head (HPB)
- Valves with better cavitation resistance, anticlockwise rotation and thermal shock resistance
- Higher starting torque option; case drain adapters; Ø21 or Ø22 mm mounting holes
- Speed sensors (Tj, Tk) and alternative mountings on request, also for other manufacturers' interfaces
Kawasaki Staffa radial piston motors from the HMB series are of fixed displacement and feature a robust and reliable design. They are also known for their high efficiency and starting torque.
Features:
- Displacement range: from 188 cc to 8000 cc
- Available in 11 different sizes
- Operating pressure: 300 bar
- Peak pressure: 405 bar
- Hydrostatic balance system: reduced leakage and extended motor life
- High volumetric and mechanical efficiency
With higher speed and power compared to the original HMB motor, the Staffa HPB radial piston motor is the ideal choice for particularly heavy-duty industrial applications.
Features:
- Displacement range: from 983 cc to 5322 cc
- Operating pressure: 300 bar
- Peak pressure: 405 bar
- Higher power density: results in more compact machinery.
- Higher operating speeds: leading to increased productivity.
- High reliability: reduces downtime and results in improved machine uptime
The HPC series variable displacement Staffa motors are constructed with special low-friction components to achieve higher shaft power.
Features
- Available displacements: From 1,344 cc to 6,555 cc
- Operating pressure: 250 bar
- Maximum intermittent pressure: 275 bar
- Freewheel function available
- Constant power control option
The Staffa motors from the HMC series offer two preset displacements that can be chosen from a wide range to meet specific application requirements. Additionally, these motors are available with either hydromechanical or electrohydraulic displacement control, providing flexibility in adapting to various application needs.
Features:
- Displacement range: from 492 cc to 5326 cc
- Available in 7 different sizes
- Operating pressure: 250 bar
- Maximum intermittent pressure: 275 bar
- Dynamic displacement variation under load
- Freewheel function available
- Constant power control option
The Staffa motors from the HMF series offer three preset displacements to meet specific application requirements. These motors have been designed to allow for two operating modes: standard operation and freewheeling mode (in case of emergency release). This versatility makes the HMF series motors suitable for a variety of applications and provides a safety feature in emergency situations.
Features:
- Displacement range: from 1475 cc to 5326 cc
- Available in 4 different sizes
- Operating pressure: 250 bar
- Maximum intermittent pressure: 275 bar
- Freewheel function available
- Constant power control option
- Dynamic displacement variation under load
General features
- Fixed and variable speed motors (2 or 3 speeds)
- Simple and robust construction
- Long-lasting durability
- High efficiency
- Available with a power control valve
General advantages

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the HMB, HPB, HMC, HPC and HMF series?
HMB is the standard fixed displacement Staffa motor (492–8,000 cm³/rev). HPB is the high-power version, also fixed displacement (983–5,322 cm³/rev). HMC and HPC have two selectable displacements, HMF has three.
Can I change displacement while the motor is running?
Yes on the multi-displacement series: HMC, HPC and HMF allow changing displacement with the motor running. HMC and HPC are also available with continuous variation, hydromechanical or electro-hydraulic.
Can they be fitted in place of motors of other brands?
Kawasaki lists mountings on request in the catalogue for other manufacturers' interfaces. Compatibility must be checked case by case on displacement, flange, shaft and ports: send us the code of the motor to replace.
Which fluids can they be used with?
With mineral oil and, with dedicated codes, with phosphate ester HFD and water-based fluids HFA, HFB and HFC. With some fluids the pressure and speed limits are reduced compared with mineral oil.
How soon will I receive price and availability?
A technician will reply within 24 working hours.
Can't find the code you need?Send us the Kawasaki code or the code of the motor to replace, even of another brand: a technician checks displacement, shaft, ports and options and proposes the solution.
