Komatsu builds its own engines, and understanding their naming system tells you almost everything about the unit before you even open the hood. A code like SAA6D107E-1 breaks down as: turbocharged and aftercooled (SAA), 6-cylinder diesel (6D), 107 mm bore, electronic control (E), and emission generation (-1, -2, -3...). When sourcing a Komatsu engine assembly or its parts, this code — together with the engine serial number — is your most reliable passport to a perfect fit.
Komatsu excavators from PC120 to PC1250 are powered by a single, well-structured engine family:
Compact and small excavators
Mid-size excavators
Large excavators
Mining-class excavators
Note: engine fitment varies by region, year, and emission tier. Always verify the full engine model code and serial number from the nameplate before ordering.
Komatsu loaders share the same engine architecture as the excavators, which keeps parts stocking simple for dealers who run both fleets.
| Code element | Meaning |
|---|---|
| SA | Turbocharged 6-cylinder diesel |
| SAA | Turbocharged + aftercooled (air-to-air or water) |
| 4D / 6D | 4- or 6-cylinder diesel |
| 95 / 102 / 107 / 114 / 125 / 140 / 170 | Bore diameter in mm |
| E | Electronic control (common rail or in-line pump with ECM) |
| -1 / -2 / -3 / -5 | Emission generation — critical for ECU and injector matching |
The generation suffix is where most ordering errors happen. An SAA6D107E-1 injector or ECU will not necessarily fit an SAA6D107E-3, even though the block looks identical.
| Machine | Engine Code | Bore (mm) | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| PC120-8 | SAA4D95LE | 95 | Mini excavator |
| PC200-8 | SAA6D107E-1 | 107 | 20-ton excavator |
| PC300-8 | SAA6D114E | 114 | 30-ton excavator |
| PC400-8 | SAA6D125E | 125 | 40-ton excavator |
| PC650-8 | SAA6D140E | 140 | 60-ton excavator |
| PC1250-8 | SAA6D170E | 170 | Mining excavator |
| WA470-7 | SAA6D125E | 125 | Production loader |
| WA600-6 | SAA6D140E | 140 | Large loader |
| D85EX | SA6D125E | 125 | Medium dozer |
| D375A | SAA6D170E | 170 | Large mining dozer |
