Technical Information
General, Orbital Motors
Orbital motors convert hydraulic energy (pressure, oil flow) into mechanical energy (torque and speed).
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.
The operating principle of the motors is based on an internal gear design, consisting of a fixed external gear reaching against an internal gear through which the output torque and speed are transmitted.
The distributor valve is driven synchronously by the internal gear through a cardan shaft ensuring that the individual chambers of the motor are filled and emptied precisely - without losses.
OMT, OMV and TMT motors have a disc valve: The distributor valve has been separated from the output shaft and it is driven by a short cardan shaft [valve drive]. A balance plate counterbal-ances the hydraulic forces around the distributor valve.

OMT, OMV
•Gear rim with rollers
•Disc valve with separate valve drive
•Output shaft supported in tapered roller bearings
TMT
•Gear rim with rollers
•Disc valve with separate valve drive
•Output shaft supported in tapered roller bearings
OMT, OMV
OMT and OMV are suitable for continuous operation under rough operating conditions: e.g. high pressures, thin oil, or frequent reversals. The tapered roller bearings make the motors suitable for absorbing static and dynamic radial loads. Besides the separately driven and hydraulically balanced disc valve, hydraulic and mechanical losses are reduced to a minimum. This gives the motors high efficiency - even at high pressures, and good starting characteristics.
TMT
The marked for hydraulic motors has developed generally increasing expectations of the motor performance, and espacially of a higher pressure level. On some applications the present motor program no longer fulfils the marked demand. The TMT motors comply with these expectations providing the same good characteristics as the OMT and OMV motors.
If the application requires very smooth running at low speeds the choice of OMT, OMV or TMT is recommended.
OMT and OMV motors are available in wheel motor versions. The recessed mounting flange makes it possible to fit a wheel hub or a winch drum so that the radial load acts midway between the two motor bearings. This gives the best utilisation of the bearing capacity and is a very compact solution. Type designations of wheel motors are OMTW and OMVW.
