Breaker Mode
Configure the primary circuit for compatible single-acting breakers and similar one-way tools.
Excavator Auxiliary Hydraulics
Breaker and Shear Combination Hydraulic Kits
Give one excavator a flexible auxiliary circuit for compatible one-way and two-way attachments with selectable operation, high-pressure plumbing, prepared controls, and machine-specific routing.
Discuss This Application
Breaker & Shear
One primary circuit configured for one-way or two-way work.
HKX Breaker & Shear combination kits allow a compatible excavator auxiliary circuit to operate in single-acting or double-acting mode. That flexibility helps equipment teams use a wider range of attachments without treating every tool as a separate plumbing project.
The published combination configuration is sized at 80 percent of one pump at approximately 25 feet per second, uses 5,000 PSI-rated hoses, and is upgradeable. Electronic function selection and machine-monitor integration may be used where applicable.
Published HKX Specifications
Understand the standard configuration before final selection.
These legacy HKX values describe the standard kit basis. Final component selection and machine settings require application confirmation.
- Single / Double
- Hydraulic system: one- or two-way oil
- 80% of 1 Pump
- Published sizing at approximately 25 FPS
- 5,000 PSI
- Published hose pressure rating
- Upgradeable
- Designed for flexible attachment use
Attachment Applications
Switch between compatible breaker and shear-style attachments.
The combination circuit supports attachments requiring one primary circuit within the published pressure and flow basis, subject to machine and tool verification.
Shear Mode
Switch to double-acting operation for compatible shears, grapples, and open/close tools.
Function Selection
Use an applicable control strategy to select the required circuit behavior.
Fleet Flexibility
Prepare one excavator for a broader compatible attachment mix.
System Features & Options
See how the Breaker & Shear system comes together.
The published HKX configuration combines machine-specific routing with prepared controls, fittings, valves, clamps, electrical components, and installation guidance.
Configuration details
Controls
Joystick, OEM joystick, or foot pedal.
Recommended Options
OEM monitor flow control where applicable, electronic function select, secondary pressure relief on applicable Komatsu machines, and SAE Code 62 four-bolt flange tubing and hoses.
Routing & Connections
Preformed, powder-coated tubing routes to the end of the arm and terminates with quarter-turn ball-valve shutoffs.
Application & Installation Planning
Match the system to the excavator and attachment.
Accurate machine and attachment details help HKX identify the appropriate circuit, components, controls, routing, and installation support.
-
01
Identify the excavator
Provide the manufacturer, model, serial number, current hydraulic equipment, and any relevant machine options.
-
02
Define the attachment
Confirm the attachment make and model, required functions, flow, pressure, case drain, and connection requirements.
-
03
Select controls and routing
Review operator controls, oil sources, component placement, boom and arm routing, and service-access needs.
-
04
Prepare and support the installation
Use the packaged components and instructions, with HKX technical assistance available for installation and future parts identification.
