Industrial Motors: Hydraulic Motors, Servo Motors and Drive Couplings

What This Range Covers

Hydraulic Motors

Hydraulic motors turn oil flow into torque. They give huge turning force from a small, sealed body, and they handle stalls, shock loads, dust and water far better than most electric drives. You will find them on winches, conveyors, augers, slew drives, mixers and wheel drives.

Servo Motors

Servo motors are electric motors with a feedback device, so the drive knows exactly where the shaft is and how fast it turns. They power motion axes. More and more, they also drive the pumps on modern power units, running only as fast as the machine needs.

Couplings and Bell Housings

A bell housing bolts the pump to the motor face, and the coupling inside joins the two shafts. Together they keep everything in line, so the bearings and seals aren’t fighting a bent or offset shaft.

Hydraulic or Electric Motor?

Choose a hydraulic motor when you need:

• High torque at low speed without a gearbox.
• A compact drive in a tight or wet spot.
• Protection from stalls and shock loads.
• A machine that already has hydraulic power on board.

Choose an electric or servo motor when you need:

• Precise speed and position control.
• High efficiency over long running hours.
• Clean, quiet running with no oil at the drive.

Many machines use both: an electric motor drives the pump, and hydraulic motors do the work.

Hydraulic Motor Types at a Glance

• Gear motors: simple, compact and low-cost, for medium speeds.
• Orbital motors: high torque at low speed, popular on augers, sweepers and conveyors.
• Vane motors: smooth and quiet, used in industrial drives.
• Axial piston motors: high speed and efficiency, with fixed or variable displacement.
• Radial piston motors: very high torque at very low speed, for winches and heavy drives.

The Mounting Interface

Most fit problems come from the mounting, not the motor itself. Check:

• Flange: SAE, ISO or a maker’s own pattern, plus the number of bolts.
• Shaft: keyed, splined or tapered, with the exact diameter and length.
• Ports: thread type, size and position (side or rear).
• Electric motors: IEC frame size and mounting, such as B3 foot or B5 flange.

Match these, and a replacement drops straight into the old space.

Where Our Motors Work

• Mining and quarrying: conveyors, crushers, feeders and drill rigs.
• Marine: deck winches, capstans, cranes and steering gear.
• Agriculture and mobile plant: augers, spreaders, sweepers and wheel drives.
• Manufacturing: mixers, presses, conveyors and servo driven power units.
• Water treatment: screens, scrapers and mixers running around the clock.

Keeping Hydraulic Motors Healthy

• Keep the oil clean, because dirt wears the rotating group fast.
• Never block or restrict the case drain line.
• Don’t let an overrunning load spin a motor faster than its rating.
• Check couplings and mounts for wear at every service.

Matching a Replacement Motor

1. Photograph the nameplate and both ends of the motor.
2. Note the displacement or power rating, and the speed.
3. Measure the flange, shaft and ports if the plate is unreadable.
4. Check the direction of rotation and any case drain line.
5. For servo motors, note the feedback type and the drive it runs with.
