Fix your slow hydraulics. This is the proportional reducing valve — the "green solenoid" — that controls pump flow on the K3V hydraulic pump. When it fails, your excavator moves in slow motion. Replaces Kobelco OEM part numbers YN35V00052F1 and YN35V00048F1.
Your excavator is sluggish. The boom lifts slowly, the engine bogs under load, or you're getting P-code errors on the monitor. The dealer wants $450–$600 for this solenoid and another week of your machine sitting idle. Meanwhile, every day that 20-ton excavator sits is $500–$1,000+ in lost revenue.
This is the proportional reducing solenoid valve that controls the swash plate angle on your K3V main hydraulic pump. It tells the pump how much flow to produce — when it fails, the pump can't respond to operator demand and the machine goes into "slow motion." This replacement valve restores full hydraulic performance. Direct drop-in replacement for YN35V00052F1. No modifications needed.
The YN35V00052F1 solenoid fits all excavators using the K3V series hydraulic pump:
The K3V hydraulic pump is used across dozens of excavator brands. If your machine has a K3V pump and you can see the green solenoid on the side, this is the correct valve. Check your parts manual for YN35V00052F1 or YN35V00048F1 to confirm.
When replacing the YN35V00052F1 solenoid:
How do I know if this solenoid is causing my slow hydraulics?
The "green solenoid" (proportional reducing valve) is the #1 failure point on K3V pumps. If your excavator has slow, weak hydraulics and the pump pressure is low, this solenoid is the first thing to check. It controls the swash plate angle — when it fails, the pump can't produce full flow regardless of operator input. If you see P-codes related to pump control or proportional valve errors, this is almost certainly the culprit.
Should I replace both solenoids?
We strongly recommend it. There are 2 proportional solenoids per K3V pump. They experience the same operating hours and conditions. If one has failed, the other is statistically near failure. Replacing both eliminates the risk of a repeat failure and another round of downtime. Contact us for pair pricing.
Will this fit my Kobelco SK200-8?
Yes. The SK200-8 uses the K3V112 hydraulic pump, and the YN35V00052F1 proportional solenoid is the correct valve. It also supersedes the older part number YN35V00048F1. If your parts book shows either number, this is the right part.
Does this fit other brands besides Kobelco?
Yes. The K3V pump is used across many excavator brands. This same solenoid fits New Holland E215, Case CX210B, and select models from Daewoo/Doosan, Sany, and Volvo that use the K3V pump platform. Check your pump for the green solenoid — if it's there, this is the replacement.
Proportional reducing solenoid valve for Kobelco SK200-8, SK210-9, SK250-8, and all excavators using the K3V hydraulic pump. Replaces Kobelco YN35V00052F1 and YN35V00048F1. Also fits New Holland E215 and Case CX210B. The "green solenoid" — the #1 failure point on the K3V pump.
