ME series two-speed motors

The structure of the ME series two-speed motor is simple by design. The front and rear pistons travel independently, providing the advantages of both opposed-piston motors and those with a double swash plate.

Features and benefits

  • High starting efficiency with the same working structure as a standard DOWMAX motor
  • Multiple-piston construction for good low-speed performance
  • Slim configuration with the same motor diameter as a standard DOWMAX motor
  • Change-over between large and small displacement can be done while running with a load
  • No separate pilot pressure is required for change-over because the self pressure is used as pilot pressure

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 300 cm3 and 600 cm3 [18.3 in3 and 36.6 in3]
