HKS SOURCING
M-DA-H-F5 265S Rotary Actuator
The M-DA-H-F5 265S is a mobile-version helical hydraulic rotary actuator in HKS's M-DA-H programme (German maker); HKS writes this base size as M-DA-H-F5 265S for the foot-mount build and M-DA-H-F10 265S for the flange-mount build, where the S2 straddle option is not available. HKS uses its own bore/housing size numbers; the code is a size designation, not a torque figure and not a Helac size number, rated at about 42900 Nm output torque at 210 bar, with 480 kg at 180 degrees. The maker's table lists 180° builds for this base size. In the controlled cross-reference it sits in the ~42900 Nm torque class together with: Moveco RR78 (~42900 Nm). These are same-torque-class engineering references only. HM Hydraulics provides technical selection support and sourcing / alternative-supply service for this reference. We do not hold it as a stocked SKU and do not promise stock, lead time or confirmed availability; configuration, mounting dimensions and drawings are checked on request against your actuator nameplate before any quotation.

HM equivalent
HMR4-4200 — the same 42,900 Nm torque class
This reference sits in the 42,900 Nm class. The closest HM model is HMR4-4200 — Helical, L30-style heavy-duty — in the same torque class. The table shows what carries over and what still has to be checked on your unit.

What carries over
- Torque class and rated pressure (210 bar).
- Helical, L30-style heavy-duty architecture.
- Rotation: 180° available on the HMR4 series. A 180/90 code is a 180° unit with the stop set at 90°, not a separate build.
What has to be verified
- Shaft / output flange interface and spline.
- Mounting bolt pattern and pilot register.
- Port size and position, plus valve arrangement (NV / CB / CS).
- Overall envelope and tie-rod clearance.
Comparable performance based on rated torque class for engineering comparison. The mounting interface must be confirmed by our engineering team before quotation.
What the 180° sweep changes on this build
A half-turn build: the output travels 180° between two end stops. The sweep is set by the internal stop tube, so a 180° unit cannot be turned into a 360° one by changing the valve or the porting — it is a different internal assembly.
- Two positions, 180° apart — confirm the linkage does not rely on an intermediate stop.
- Hoses only travel half a turn, so a short service loop is normally enough.
- If the duty is a tilt or a quarter-turn swing, this is the sweep the linkage was designed around.
When this sweep is the right build
- Tilt and positioning linkages that only need two end positions — a bucket tilt, a boom offset, a chute flap.
- Machines where the hose run is tight: half a turn needs a much shorter service loop than a full one.
- Where a mid-position stop is not part of the function, so the two end stops are the whole travel.
Confirming the sweep on the machine
- Swing the linkage by hand to both end stops and check the travel is a clean half turn with no mid-travel detent.
- Read the stop positions off the mounting drawing rather than counting turns of the output.
How the sweep sits in the order code
The sweep is the fifth segment of the code. Ordering the same size in the other sweep changes that segment and the internal stop tube behind it; the flange pattern, the shaft end and the valve selection do not change with it. That is why a half-turn build and a full-turn build of one size are quoted as two builds rather than one with an option.
Where these two builds get mixed up
- A half-turn unit is sometimes quoted against a full-turn drawing because the size and mounting match — the sweep is the field that gets dropped in the enquiry.
- A half-turn unit cannot be re-stopped to a full turn in service; if the machine needs more travel, it needs the other build.

| Cross reference | All references below are engineering cross-references by torque class from HM's controlled multi-brand database; they are not validated substitutions. Same torque class (comparable rated output; independent housing and mounting designs - do not assume matching dimensions): Moveco RR78 (~42900 Nm). HM has no supply-verified interchange record for any of these pairings, so the highest claim we make is 'same torque class / comparable'; nothing is presented as a verified interchangeable unit. |
| Further data | Torque, pressure, port and mounting dimensions are shared with the engineering drawing on request. |
HM alternative model — confirmed on inquiry. Send us your original model number, part number or machine details and we confirm the matching configuration, specifications and compatibility, then quote. The exact ordering code — rotation, output and valve arrangement — is confirmed against your unit and is not published online.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What does the M-DA-H-F5 265S replace?+
It is the original HKS model code for a helical hydraulic rotary actuator providing 180° rotation. HM provides sourcing and alternative-supply support for this reference; it is not assumed to be an original HKS part or a pre-verified interchangeable unit, and the configuration is confirmed against your actuator nameplate and drawing before we quote. HM can source or arrange alternative supply for this reference; mounting dimensions, shaft, ports and the exact configuration are checked against your unit and drawing before any alternative is recommended.
Can HM supply the M-DA-H-F5 265S?+
HM provides technical selection and a sourcing / alternative-supply route for the M-DA-H-F5 265S base size. We do not keep stock and do not promise availability or lead time; the exact HKS configuration (S1/S2, rotation direction, valve and seal options folded into the FU/S9xxx code) is confirmed against your nameplate, with the factory when needed, before we quote.
What is the difference between M-DA-H-F5 265S and M-DA-H-F10 265S?+
Same base size and the same performance table; the difference is mounting. M-DA-H-F5 is the foot-mount build and takes the S1 cantilever or S2 straddle option. M-DA-H-F10 is the flange-mount build, and the S2 straddle option is not available with flange mounting. Moment capacity, torque, displacement and weight are otherwise identical.
Does the M-DA-H-F5 265S come in a 360-degree build?+
No. The maker's table lists the 265S at 180-degree rotation only, with no 360-degree build in this base size. Note also that the 265S is a short, large-bore design: its rated torque (about 42900 Nm) is higher than the 265's, while its S1 cantilever moment capacity (64400 Nm) is lower than the 265's (72900 Nm). If your unit is a 360-degree actuator, send the nameplate and we check the right base size instead.
What information does HM need before quoting this actuator?+
Send us the actuator nameplate (brand, full model code, rotation, mounting, shaft and port details) and, if available, a mounting drawing. HM then confirms the exact configuration and advises the available sourcing or alternative-supply option. Mounting dimensions and drawings are provided on request only. HKS folds valve and seal options into the FU requirement code and the S9xxx material number; a complete HKS order code must be confirmed with HKS for each requirement (torque, rotation, S1/S2, rotation direction, valve, seal).
Why is the exact HM model and price not shown?+
We confirm the HM model per inquiry after verifying the interface and operating parameters with you. This avoids shipping a part that looks right by model name but differs in mounting or rotation. Price is provided with that confirmed quote.
