ME series motors with gearbox

Our ME series motors with gearbox 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 4,097 cm3 [6 in3 to 250 in3] and are equipped with various gear box ratios to enable low speed with smooth operation and very little torque ripple. 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

  • Developed with planetary gear suitable for shield tunneling
  • All DOWMAX motors and planetary gear reduction motors are mutually compatible
  • Multiple pistons and double swash plate result in smooth rotation at speeds down to 1 rpm
  • High starting torque and overall efficiency
  • Robust construction but quiet operation and compact construction for easy installation
  • Unaffected by thermal shock (good for starting at cold temperature)
  • Wide range of uses in different mediums such as water glycol and phosphate-ester

Applications

  • Construction: cranes, tunnel-boring machines, special and regular rotary drill rigs, rain maintenance cars, grapples, excavators, and earth augers
  • Processing: conveyors/rolling drives, steel mills, and injection molding machines
  • Oil, gas, and marine: winches, ship steering systems, cranes, capstans, and thrusters
  • Entertainment: ferris wheels and amusement park machines

Specifications

  • Single-stage reduction gear with DOWMAX motor: reduction ratio 5.091
  • Double-stage reduction gear with DOWMAX motor: reduction ratio 24 or 26.3
  • Wide range of models in 13 displacements ranging from 99 cm3 to 4,097 cm3 [6 in3 to 250 in3]
  • High pressure of 280 bar [4,061 psi] and continuous operating pressure of 250 bar [3,626 psi]
