This technical report states the MTTF for a 30cc LC & 38cc KC motor configuration.
Overview
This MTTF data has been compiled by the engineering team responsible for the LC/KC Motor. These are
professionals at Danfoss, who have the authority and technical knowledge to calculate the MTTF Data for
this product based on the standards set in place by both the industry and/or Danfoss.
The purpose of this document is to assist in the transfer of MTTF information for the given product from
Danfoss to the appropriate party in a way which will result in a clear understanding and documentation
on how we derived it. This MTTF information is provided to assist in calculating the overall MTTF of a
complete or partially complete piece of machinery.
Danfoss cannot be held responsible for the suitability of these calculated MTTF values for use in the
calculation of the overall machinery MTTF values. The MTTF values for the LC/KC Motor are based on a
specific machine use, operating environment, and/or duty cycle as stated by the standards set in place by
both the industry and/or Danfoss. This communication along with any attached Danfoss drawings,
sketches, or data is transmitted in confidence.
No information stated in this document or any attachments or supplements may be reproduced or
disclosed in whole or in part without written permission of Danfoss. Further, neither these documents
nor any attachments are a warranty of any sort by Danfoss or a guarantee of machine suitability for its
intended purpose. It remains the responsibility of the machine manufacturer to ensure overall machine
functionality and overall machine safety.
We recommend consulting the functional safety cross BA team before applying the document to the
customer.
The LC/KC family of closed circuit 2 position motors is designed for use with existing Danfoss hydraulic
pumps for the control and transfer of hydraulic power. LC/KC motors are compact and have high power
density where all units utilize a servo piston assembly that controls the displacement and resulting shaft
speed ranges.
LC/KC motors can be used together in combination with other Danfoss pumps and motors in the overall
hydraulic system. Danfoss hydrostatic products are designed with many different displacement, pressure,
and load-life capabilities. Go to the Danfoss Power Solutions website or applicable product catalog to
choose the components that are right for your complete closed circuit hydraulic system.
Intended Use
The LC/KC 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 LC/KC Frame motors consist of five unique rotating groups (displacements) and two
housing (mounting) configurations. Maximum speeds and maximum applied pressures for each
displacement vary.
The LC/KC standard control is a direct acting single line hydraulic control. This MTTF document applies
only to motors using this direct acting single line hydraulic control. 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.
Details regarding intended use, such as application examples and operating conditions, are available in
Technical Information documents on our Danfoss page

For any intended use other than the above you are invited to contact your local Danfoss representative
for advice.
Results
The following table shows the MTTF values of motor configurations and special functions.
The calculations are performed with reference to the Danfoss Global Standard GS-0078. The standard
GS-0078 defines the following options for how to determine the MTTF/MTTFd value for a specific
component or product. The process/algorithm selected will depend on:
•
Whether the component is purchased or manufactured
•
The availability of Danfoss field usage history
•
The availability of industry standard field usage history (primarily for electronic components)
•
Similarity of design to existing products
•
Knowledge of the design process
Some calculation options are listed below:
•
The methods outlined in ISO 13849-1 2006 Annexes C and D
•
Comparison to similar products already in production
•

MTTF for Individual Motor Function
The following table lists the MTTF for each individual motor function. Please refer to F1: Safe
Controllability (Motor at Demanded Displacement) for further understanding of functions and the MTTF
F1: Safe Controllability (Motor at Demanded Displacement)
A pressure input signal to the servo piston (X1 connection) will lead to a certain displacement of the
motor and based on the system flow through the motor a certain output speed at the motor shaft (e.g.,
vehicle speed) results out of that. The following table describes the failures and failed parts that can lead
to a failure of the function.
Detailed boundaries to ensure safe controllability:
•
Control: Shifting from maximum to minimum displacement occurs with a pressure signal of 14 to 69
bar
•
Control: Shifting from minimum to maximum displacement occurs with a pressure signal of less than
14 bar
It is the customer's responsibility to consider how to deal with a loss of SAFE CONTROLLABILITY during
analysis of the functional safety concept for the complete system.
