ME series motors with brake

Our ME series motors with brake feature double swash plates and multiple opposed pistons. These low-speed high-torque (LSHT) hydraulic motors are available with displacements ranging from 99 cm3 to 850 cm3 [6 in3 to 52 in3] and are equipped with a wet multi-disc pressure-release type (negative) brake. They can operate on a wide range of fluids, including water-glycol, and are well suited for applications such as directional drilling machinery, top-head drives, and marine winches.

Features and benefits

  • Cartridge-type mechanical brake enables easy mounting and dismounting with the hydraulic motor (BB, BC, BP, BR types)
  • Integral shaft-type mechanical brake is compact and light weight (MB type)
  • Mechanical brake is highly durable with multiple wet-type discs/plates
  • Quiet operation but a large torque capacity suitable for a wide range of applications
  • Safe operation is ensured by the pressure-release-type brake
  • Compact and easy to install with quick access to the brake motor for easy servicing
  • High-capacity roller bearing supports large radial loads
  • Unaffected by thermal shock (good for starting at cold temperature)

Applications

  • Construction: cranes, tunnel boring machines, drill rigs, grapples, and excavators
  • Processing: conveyors/rolling drives, steel mills, and injection molding machines
  • Marine, oil, and gas: winches, ship steering systems, cranes, capstans, and thrusters
  • Entertainment: ferris wheels and amusement park machines

Specifications

  • Peak pressure: 325 bar [4,700 psi]
  • Displacement: 99 cm3 to 850 cm3 [6 in3 to 52 in3]
