Description
M2X96 364-0978 Swing Motor Assembly Overview
The M2X96 364-0978 Swing Motor assembly manufactured by Tatan is a heavy-duty fixed-displacement axial piston hydraulic unit belonging to our Swing Motor Assembly classification. Engineered specifically for Caterpillar 315D, 315D L, and 318D 15~17 ton excavators, replacing your worn swing motor with a Tatan complete assembly eliminates carriage drifting on slopes, restores instantaneous swing braking torque, and cures internal casing pressure bypass across demanding earthmoving applications.
Operating under direct pressure flow from the excavator’s SBS80 hydraulic pump and routed through the main control valve, this rotating motor incorporates precision micro-lapped bimetal valve plates, a hydraulic-release parking brake pack, and dual anti-reaction shock relief valves, ensuring 100% direct bolt-on installation with swing reduction gearboxes and chassis pilot lines.

Supported Excavator Machinery Brands & Swing Motor Coverage
In addition to Caterpillar, Tatan manufactures and supplies replacement swing motors, reduction pinions, and internal rotating kits for major heavy equipment builders:
Medium Excavator Slewing Drive Engineering & Multi-Brand Fleet Support
Controlling rotational kinetic energy on 15~17 ton medium excavators during continuous trenching requires specialized metallurgical hardening. Tatan delivers heavy-duty complete slewing drives, wet brake packs, and shock-cushion hydraulic assemblies across diversified earthmoving fleets:
🛑 Zero Slope Drift
Heavy multi-disc wet friction plates lock rotation on 30-degree slopes immediately upon neutral joystick return.
🛡️ Pinion & Ring Gear Safety
Dual factory-calibrated 25.0 MPa anti-reaction shock valves absorb stopping inertia, protecting slewing reduction ring gears.
❄️ Thermal Stability
Micro-lapped bimetal valve plates eliminate high-pressure casing bypass, keeping operating temperatures safely under 80°C.
Application Scenarios & Buyer Value
When upgrading or replacing your 15-ton excavator rotation drive with our M2X96 364-0978 Swing Motor, buyers achieve maximum operational uptime and flow control:
| Application Scenario | Value Delivered to Buyer |
|---|---|
| Caterpillar 315D Motor Replacement | 1:1 direct bolt-on installation eliminates carriage drift on slopes and restores snappy, accurate boom swing positioning. |
| Hydraulic Overhaul Workshops | Avoids the complex labor of brake disc shimming and barrel lapping; saves mechanic hours with a pre-adjusted unit. |
| Civil & Utility Fleet Operations | Heavy-duty forged pistons and anti-rebound valves withstand harsh shock loads during high-speed continuous truck loading. |
| Heavy Equipment Parts Stockists | Fast-moving, high-demand 15-ton swing motor inventory ready for immediate shipment to minimize customer downtime. |
M2X96 364-0978 Swing Motor OEM Diagnostic & Troubleshooting Guide
Use this OEM manual hydraulic diagnostic guide to troubleshoot swing motor symptoms on your Caterpillar 315D excavator:
| Hydraulic Symptom | Technical Cause Analysis | Tatan Factory-Grade Solution |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Upper carriage creeps / drifts when parked on side incline | Mechanical parking brake friction discs glazed or brake release piston seal leaking pilot pressure into case drain under 96cc volume. | Replace with Tatan 364-0978 complete swing motor assembly with factory pre-seated heavy-duty brake pack. |
| 2. Violent shudder / shaking when stopping swing motion | Anti-reaction check valve poppet contamination or swing cushion relief valve spring fatigue failing to dampen stopping inertia. | Ultrasonic clean relief cartridges, reset 25.0 MPa relief pressure, or install new Tatan complete motor assembly. |
| 3. Weak swing acceleration and overheating motor case | Severe friction scoring across bronze valve plate and cylinder block face allowing high-pressure fluid bypass into case drain. | Install Tatan new 364-0978 swing motor; flush hydraulic lines and install fresh 10μm return filter element. |
| 4. Complete loss of rotation while travel/boom functions work | Brake release delay valve stuck closed preventing 4.0 MPa pilot pressure from compressing brake release springs. | Check brake pilot pressure at motor port, clean delay valve shuttle, or replace swing motor assembly. |
