Technical Information
L and K Frame Variable Motors
General Information
Basic Design
The L and K Frame variable motors are light to medium power two-position axial piston motors
incorporating an integral servo piston. They are designed for operation in closed and open circuit
applications. The L and K Frame motors consist of five unique rotating groups (displacements) and two
housing (mounting) configurations. An SAE-B, two-bolt, and a cartridge style (for space-optimized
gearbox mounting) configurations are available for each frame. Maximum speeds and maximum applied
pressures for each displacement vary. The standard control is a direct acting single line hydraulic control.
For SAE-B mount motors a two line control is also available. The integral servo piston controls motor
displacement.
The motor is spring biased to maximum displacement and hydraulically shifted to minimum
displacement. Minimum and maximum displacement can be set with fixed internal stops. The large
diameter servo piston allows smooth acceleration and deceleration with relatively large circuit orificing.
The motor is ideally configured for installations requiring compact packaging and optimized plumbing,
such as wheel ends. One face of the motor contains all hydraulic porting. Two standard porting
configurations are available: twin radial (side) or axial (end) O-ring boss main ports.

System Circuit Diagram
Pictorial system diagram
The circuit above shows the LV/KV motor in a simple closed-loop hydrostatic propel application. The
motor is driven by a Series 40 M46 axial piston pump with manual displacement control. The motor
shown uses a single line hydraulic displacement control. Control pressure applied through an external
control valve shifts the motor to minimum displacement, spring force returns the motor to maximum
displacement in the absence of control input.
Specifications and operating parameters for L and K Frame motors are given here for quick reference. For
additional information, seeFeatures and Options, Operating Parameters on page 7, and Product Coding.

Viscosity
Maintain fluid viscosity within the recommended range for maximum efficiency and bearing life.
Minimum viscosity should only occur during brief occasions of maximum ambient temperature and
severe duty cycle operation. Maximum viscosity should only occur at cold start. Limit speeds until the

physical properties of the component materials. Cold oil will not affect the durability of the motor
components. However, it may affect the ability of the motor to transmit power. Maximum temperature

Charge Pressure/Open Circuit Operation
L and K Frame motors can be operated in closed and open circuit applications. For a propel motor open
circuit, the motor must have a direct line (no combining flows) from the motor case to the reservoir to
prevent pressure spikes. When the motor is being operated with zero backpressure, the maximum limit
for case pressure is 2 bar.

System Pressure
System pressure is the differential pressure between system ports A and B. It is the dominant operating
variable affecting hydraulic unit life. High system pressure, which results from high load, reduces
expected life. Hydraulic unit life depends on the speed and normal operating, or weighted average,
pressure that can only be determined from a duty cycle analysis.
Application pressure is the high pressure relief setting normally defined within the order code of the
pump. This is the applied system pressure at which the driveline generates the maximum calculated pull
or torque in the application.
Maximum working pressure is the highest recommended Application pressure. Maximum working
pressure is not intended to be a continuous pressure. Propel systems with Application pressures at, or
below, this pressure should yield satisfactory unit life given proper component sizing.
Maximum pressure is the highest allowable Application pressure under any circumstance. Application
pressures above Maximum Working Pressure will only be considered with duty cycle analysis and factory
approval. Pressure spikes are normal and must be considered when reviewing maximum working
pressure.
All pressure limits are differential pressures referenced to low loop (charge) pressure. Subtract low loop
pressure from gauge readings to compute the differential.
Minimum low loop pressure (above case pressure) is the lowest pressure allowed to maintain a safe
working condition in the low side of the loop.
Minimum speed is the lowest input speed recommended during engine idle condition. Operating below
minimum speed limits the pump's ability to maintain adequate flow for lubrication and power
transmission.
Rated speed is the highest input speed recommended at full power condition. Operating at or below
this speed should yield satisfactory product life.
Maximum speed is the highest operating speed permitted. Exceeding maximum speed reduces product
life and can cause loss of hydrostatic power and braking capacity. Never exceed the maximum speed
limit under any operating conditions.
Operating conditions between rated speed and maximum speed should be restricted to less than full
power and to limited periods of time. For most drive systems, maximum unit speed occurs during
downhill braking or negative power conditions.
For more information consult Pressure and Speed Limits, BLN-9884, when determining speed limits for a
particular application.
During hydraulic braking and downhill conditions, the prime mover must be capable of providing
sufficient braking torque in order to avoid pump over speed. This is especially important to consider for
turbocharged and Tier 4 engines.
Warning
Unintended vehicle or machine movement hazard
Exceeding maximum speed may cause a loss of hydrostatic drive line power and braking capacity. You
must provide a braking system, redundant to the hydrostatic transmission, sufficient to stop and hold the
vehicle or machine in the event of hydrostatic drive power loss. The braking system must also be
sufficient to hold the machine in place when full power is applied.

Technical Information
L and K Frame Variable Motors
System Design Parameters
Installation
L and K motors may be installed in any position. The motor housing must always remain full of hydraulic
fluid.
Fill the motor housing and system lines with clean fluid during installation. Connect the case drain line to
the uppermost drain port (L1 or L2) to keep the housing full during operation.
To allow unrestricted flow to the reservoir, use a dedicated drain line. Connect it below the minimum
reservoir fluid level and as far away from the reservoir outlet as possible. Use plumbing adequate to
maintain case pressure within prescribed limits (see Case Pressure on page 10).
Filtration
To prevent damage to the motor, including premature wear, fluid entering the motor must be free of
contaminants. L and K motors require system filtration capable of maintaining fluid cleanliness at ISO
4406-1999 class 22/18/13 or better.
Consider these factors when selecting a system filter:
Cleanliness specifications
•
Contaminant ingression rates
•
Flow capacity
•
Desired maintenance interval
•
Reservoir
Overpressure Protection
Typically, a filter with a beta ratio of β10 = 1.5 to 2.0 is adequate. However, open circuit systems supplied
from a common reservoir may have considerably higher requirements. Because each system is unique,
only a thorough testing and evaluation program can fully validate the filtration system. For more
information, see Danfoss publication Design Guidelines for Hydraulic Fluid Cleanliness, 520L0467.
The reservoir provides clean fluid, dissipates heat, and removes entrained air from the hydraulic fluid. It
allows for fluid volume changes associated with fluid expansion and cylinder differential volumes.
Minimum reservoir capacity depends on the volume needed to perform these functions. Typically, a
capacity of one half the charge pump flow (per minute) is satisfactory for a closed circuit system reservoir.
Open circuit systems sharing a common reservoir will require greater fluid capacity.
Locate the reservoir outlet (suction line) near the bottom, allowing clearance for settling foreign particles.
Place the reservoir inlet (return lines) below the lowest expected fluid level, as far away from the outlet as
possible.
L and K Frame motors have no internal overpressure protection. Therefore, relief valves or pressure
limiters are required to maintain system pressure within prescribed limits. Relief valves are adequate to
protect against transient or unusually rapid load application, but excessive or continuous flow through
them adds heat to the system and can damage the fluid. In applications operating at or near pressure,
use a pressure compensating variable pump.
Loop Flushing
Closed circuit systems may require loop flushing to meet temperature and cleanliness requirements. A
loop flushing valve removes hot fluid from the low pressure side of the system loop for additional cooling
and filtering. Ensure the charge pump provides adequate flow for loop flushing and the loop flushing
valve does not cause charge pressure to drop below recommended limits.
Closed circuit applications require a charge pump to make up for lubrication and cooling losses, and to
charge the low pressure side of the system loop. The total charge flow required is a sum of the charge
flow requirements for the pump, plus the flow requirements for all motors in the system, plus any
external loop flushing requirements.
Ensure that adequate charge flow exists under all conditions of engine speed and motor speed and
pressure.
Charge Pressure / Open Circuit Operation
L and K frame motors can be operated with zero pressure in the low side of the system loop. The case
pressure must not be higher than 2 bar over the low side loop system pressure. With zero backpressure,
the maximum allowed case pressure is 2 bar [29 psi]. Case drain lines must be plumbed accordingly to
insure this 2 bar case pressure differential is not exceeded under any circumstances.
Redundant Braking System Requirement
Warning
Series Operation
Shaft Loads
Unintended vehicle or machine movement hazard.
The loss of hydrostatic drive line power, in any mode of operation (forward, neutral, or reverse) may cause
the system to lose hydrostatic braking capacity. You must provide a braking system, redundant to the
hydrostatic transmission, sufficient to stop and hold the vehicle or machine in the event of hydrostatic
drive power loss.
These motors may be operated in series configuration as long as system, charge, and case pressure limits
are satisfied. Operating motors in series significantly impacts bearing life. Contact your Danfoss
representative for assistance when applying these motors in series configuration.
L and K Frame motors have bearings capable of accepting some external radial and thrust loads. The
external radial shaft load limits are a function of the load position, orientation, and the operating
conditions of the motor.

The table above gives the maximum allowable external moment (Me) for a 25% bearing life reduction,
with optimum load orientation, operating at maximum continuous pressure (see Specifications on page
7). You can compute the allowable radial load (Re) from the moment (Me), and the load distance (L) from
the mounting flange, using the formula below. The thrust load (T) is the maximum allowable without
bearing life reduction, based on the radial load for 25% life reduction and maximum continuous pressure.
Maximum allowable thrust load (T) is a function of external radial load and operating pressure, and may
or may not impact bearing life. If thrust or radial loads exist that are not a function of the operating load
of the motor, or exceed these limits, contact your Danfoss representative for application assistance.

Duty Cycle and Bearing Life
All shaft loads affect bearing life. We recommend tapered shafts or clamp-type couplings for applications
with radial shaft loads.
Knowing the operating conditions of your application is the best way to ensure proper motor selection.
With accurate duty cycle information, your Danfoss representative can assist in calculating expected
motor life.
Hydraulic Equations Helpful for Motor Selection
Use the following equations to compute output power, torque, speed, and input flow. Selecting the right
motor starts with an evaluation of system requirements such as speed and torque. Select a motor that
will transmit the required torque, then select a pump that will meet the flow and pressure requirements
of the motor.

Shaft Torque
L and K Frame variable motors are available with splined, tapered, and straight-keyed shafts.
Shaft torque and spline lubrication
The rated torque is a measure of tooth wear and is the level at which a normal spline life of 2 x 109 shaft
revolutions can be expected. The rated torque presumes a regularly maintained minimum level of
lubrication via a moly-disulfide grease in order to reduce the coefficient of friction and to restrict the
presence of oxygen at the spline interface. It is also assumed that the mating spline has a minimum
hardness of Rc 55 and full spline depth. The rated torque is proportional to the minimum active spline
length.
Maximum torque ratings are based on torsional fatigue strength considering 100.000 full load reversing
cycles. However, a spline running in oil-flooded environment provides superior oxygen restriction in
addition to contaminant flushing. The rated torque of a flooded spline can increase to that of the
maximum published rating. A flooded spline would be indicative of a pump driven by a pump drive or
plugged into an auxiliary pad of a pump.
Maintaining a spline engagement at least equal to the Pitch Diameter will also maximize spline life. Spline
engagements of less than ¾ Pitch Diameter are subject to high contact stress and spline fretting.
The rated torque is based on the contact pressure between the shaft and hub surfaces with poor surface
contact areas. With an increased quality of the contact areas, the contact pressure between the shaft and
hub is increased and allows higher torque to be transmitted.
When a key is used for orientation of the hub on the shaft in conjunction with poor quality contact
surfaces, the transmitted torque rating will drop significantly. This is due to the key carrying the torque,
which limits the shaft torque carrying capability.
Maximum torque rating is based on an ideal contact area of 100 % and the retaining nut properly
torqued. This allows for the highest contact pressure between the shaft and the hub.
Complete a detailed bolted joint analysis to ensure proper contact pressure, load and torque retention
characteristics are achieved.
Shaft taper: 1:8 per SAE J501
Maximum retaining nut tightening torque: 250 lb•ft (340 Nm)
Any torque in excess of this may lead to shaft damage.
This maximum torque is based on using an SAE J429 Grade 8 standard, non-self-locking nut with a clean/
oiled interface.
Output Shafts
L and K Frame variable motors are available with splined, tapered, and straight-keyed shafts. See the
following page for details.
Lubrication of splined shafts
Splined shaft couplings require lubrication to minimize corrosion, fretting, and premature wear. Flooded
or splashed oil lubrication is ideal. In applications where this is not possible, Danfoss recommends you
apply a compound of 50% high temperature grease and 50% molybdenum disulfide powder to the
splines during installation and at regular intervals during service life. This lubricant is not soluble in oil.
K and L motors incorporate an optional integral loop flushing valve. Use the loop flushing valve in circuits
requiring the removal of excessive contamination or installations that require the removal of additional
fluid from the main hydraulic circuit due to cooling requirements.
K and L motors equipped with an integral loop flushing shuttle valve also include a loop flushing relief
valve. The loop flushing relief valve poppet includes an orifice which controls flushing flow. Flushing flow
of 5 to 8 L/min (1.5 - 2 gpm) is typical.
The opening pressure (indicated in graph below) of the loop flushing relief valve should be equal to or
less than the charge pressure setting of the pump. Contact your Danfoss representative for assistance.
Loop Flushing valve
Relief valve
Loop flushing should not be used when using L/K motors in an open circuit configuration. Low loop/
charge pressures will not be high enough to open the loop flushing relief valve.

Anti-Cavitation Valve Option
L&K motors are available with an anti-cavitation valve option. The key application for this option is open
circuit fan drives.
The anti cavitation valve combines the function of a shock valve and check valve within the same cavity
which is integrated into the endcap. The check valve function provides protection against cavitation
which can occur upon introduction of an overrunning load or due to loss of input flow. In such case, the
system delta pressure becomes negative and the check valve opens connecting the motor inlet and
outlet, effectively short-circuiting the motor. The shock valve function is intended to be used for system
over-pressure protection events of limited duration only. It is not intended for continuous system
pressure limitation.
The shock valve is available with 280 bar or 345 bar setting.
For this option the high pressure port needs to be defined upfront to get the correct motor rotation.
Reversing the motor is not possible with this option.
The dust seal option has been designed to increase the resistance to airborne particulates which could
contaminate and potentially damage the motor output shaft seal. The speed rating of the dust seal is the
same as the motor speed rating.
Available only with the tapered shaft option F.
Displacement Limiters
L and K Frame variable motors can be equipped with optional fixed (non-adjustable) displacement
limiters. Refer to Maximum Angle/Displacement Setting in Model Code section, for available displacement
settings.

Motor Rotation
L and K Frame variable motors are fully bidirectional. The chart below gives the direction of rotation with
respect to flow direction through the motor.
Rotation by flow direction
MountSAE-BCartridge
Flow A→BCCWCW
Flow B→ACWCCW
Controls
L and K Frame variable motors are designed to operate in two positions: maximum and minimum
displacement. The motors are spring biased to maximum displacement and hydraulically shifted to
minimum displacement. SAE-B mount motors can operate with a single or dual line control. Cartridge
mount motors operate with a single line control only. Pressure applied at port X1 shifts the motor to
minimum displacement. Pressure at X2 (dual line control) can assist the shift to maximum displacement.
Refer to the table above for control input pressure range.
Control orificing
Cartridge and SAE mount motor controls rely on external valving and orificing to regulate shift speeds.
You can achieve quick acceleration (shift to min) and slow deceleration (shift to max) simply by installing
an orifice in the tank line of the external control valve.
SAE-B mount motors with single line controls can have optional, internal, supply and drain orifices
installed to regulate control response times. Contact your Danfoss representative for available orifice
sizes.
Brake Release Port (cartridge motors)
Cartridge mount motors are equipped with a brake release port to allow access to the brake-release
feature of the gear box from the rear of the motor. This consists of a simple passage through the motor
housing with a rear-facing 7/16 in. SAE O-ring boss port. To locate the port on the gear box, refer to
Installation Drawings. Applications using this brake release port require an O-ring to seal the passage
against the gear box.
While all motors will have the brake release port, not all gearboxes are compatible with this motor
feature. The rated pressure for the brake release port on the motor housing is 250 bar (this does take into
account the O-ring interface between the motor and gearbox). Consult your gearbox manufacturer for
suitability and compatibility. If your gearbox is not compatible with this feature, simply leave the port
plugged.
