General, Orbital Motors Technical Information Orbital Motors, General Operating Principle Orbital motors convert hydraulic energy (pressure, oil flow) into mechanical energy (torque and speed). Sauer-Danfoss orbital motors are of fixed displacement high-torque design. For a given oil flow and given pressure the displacement (size of motor) determines the speed and torque. For a given displacement (size of motor) the speed is determined by the oil flow rate and the torque is determined by the pressure differential. Gearwheel set The operating principle of the motors is based on an internal gear...

General, Orbital Motors Technical Information Selection of Motor Type Features of Main Types (continue) OMRW N Because of the rollers in the gear rim OMRW N is suitable for continuous operation under demanding operating conditions: e.g. high pressures, thin oil, or frequent reversals. The needle bearings of the output shaft make OMRW N suitable for absorbing static and dynamic radial loads. OMEW OMEW motors have a disc valve mounted on the output shaft, i.e. hydraulic and mechanical losses are reduced to a minimum and the gearwheel set is fitted with rollers. OMEW is therefore ideal for continuous...
