Technical Information
Reverse Displacement Motor (RDM)
General Information
Basic Design
The Reverse Displacement Motors (RDM) are medium power two-position axial piston motors
incorporating an integral servo piston. They are especially designed for operation in open circuit, non
propel applications. With the ability to shift over center, this motor combines reversing functionality and
the simplicity of open circuit design without the need for additional, external valves (HIC’s). For fan drive
system design guidelines refer to Danfoss publication: Hydraulic Fan Drive Systems - Design Guidelines,
520L0926
The RDM uses the existing and proven technology of the Danfoss L/K motor. These motors have been
optimized with regard to options, life, package size and installed cost. The RDM consists of five unique
rotating groups (displacements) in two housings with cartridge mounting flanges. Maximum speeds and
maximum applied pressures for each displacement vary. The standard control is an integrated shift valve
that uses system pressure. The integral servo piston controls motor displacement. The motor is spring
biased to forward displacement and hydraulically shifted to reverse displacement.
Displacement for both directions is set with fixed internal stops. The integrated shifting valve in
combination with large diameter servo piston allows smooth shifting between forward and reverse
rotation. For system protection the motors are equipped with an integrated anti-cavitation and shock
valve. The motor is ideally configured for installations requiring compact packaging and optimized
plumbing with one face of the motor containing all hydraulic porting.

Operating Parameters
Fluids
Ratings and performance data for these motors are based on operating with premium hydraulic fluids
containing oxidation, rust, and foam inhibitors. These include premium turbine oils, API CD engine oils
per SAE J183, M2C33F or G automatic transmission fluids (ATF), Dexron II (ATF) meeting Allison C-3 or
Caterpillar T0‑2 requirements, and certain specialty agricultural tractor fluids. For more information on
hydraulic fluid selection, see Danfoss publications:
Hydraulic Fluids and Lubricants, Technical Information, 520L0463,
Experience with Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluids, Technical Information, 520L465.
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
system warms up.

Case Pressure
Maintain fluid temperature within the limits shown in the table. Minimum temperature relates to 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
is based on material properties. Exceeding the maximum temperature may result in damage to the unit.
Measure maximum temperature at the hottest point in the system. This is usually the case drain.

Ensure fluid temperature and viscosity limits are concurrently satisfied.
The motors are designed to operate in open circuits with zero outlet pressure. In open circuits, the
maximum allowed case pressure is 0.5 bar [7 psi] above outlet pressure and 2 bar [29 psi] maximum
pressure. Case drain lines must be plumbed accordingly to insure that case pressure limits are not
exceeded under any circumstances.
Maintain case pressure within the limits shown in the table. The housing must always be filled with
hydraulic fluid.
Operating outside of case pressure limits will damage the motor. To minimize this risk, use full size inlet
and case drain plumbing, and limit line lengths.
Case pressure limits
Maximum (continuous)
Intermittent (cold start)
System Pressure
The specification tables in each section give maximum pressure ratings for each displacement. Not all
displacements within a given frame operate under the same pressure limits. Definitions of the operating
pressure limits appear below.
Open Circuit Continuous working pressure is the average, regularly occurring operating pressure.
Operating at or below this pressure should yield satisfactory product life. For all applications, the load
should move below this pressure. This will corresponds to the maximum allowable PC setting on the
open circuit variable pump supplying the RDM.
As the RDM will be commonly applied into fan drive systems, the maximum pressure experienced is
generally the pressure at fan trim speed. If this pressure exceeds the continuous pressure rating, a more
thorough duty cycle analysis is recommended.
Maximum (peak) pressure is the highest intermittent pressure allowed.
Maximum machine load should never exceed this pressure, and pressure overshoots should not exceed
this pressure.
0.5 [7] above outlet pressure
2 [29] maximum pressure
2 [29] above outlet pressure
6 [87] maximum pressure
Output Speed
Pressure spikes are normal and must be considered when reviewing maximum working pressure.
The RDM is designed for open circuits. Due to the shifting valve pressure limits the maximum system
pressure is absolute pressure. Differential pressure referenced to to outlet pressure is just relevant for the
maximum case pressure.
Smooth operation and output torque ripple determine the acceptable low speed operating condition.
Generally Danfoss axial piston motors will operate smoothly down to 150 rpm. In some instances, it is
possible to operate smoothly at less than 150 rpm, but performance must be verified for the specific
application. We do not recommend that any axial piston motor be sized to operate continuously at
speeds less than 100 rpm.
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 rating is the highest operating speed recommended and cannot be exceeded without
severe reduction of unit life, or without risking premature failure.
Operating conditions between continuous and maximum speed ratings should be restricted to less than
full power and to limited periods of time.
For more information consult Pressure and Speed LimitsBLN-9884, when determining speed limits for a
particular application.

Technical Information
Reverse Displacement Motor (RDM)
Operating Parameters
Warning
Over speed hazard
Especially in fan drive systems, the fan speed and accordingly motor speed is directly related to system
pressure. The maximum system pressure is defined by Pressure Compensator (PC) setting of S45 pump.
To prevent motor overspeed the PC setting needs to be calculated upfront. The maximum fan speed
should be checked at first machine start up.
Warning
Unintended vehicle or machine movement hazard
When using the RDM in combination with S45 open circuit pumps with LS or EPC controls, be aware that
there will likely be motor movement as long as the engine is turning. Due to the LS-setting of the pump, a
standby pressure will remain in the system even when the normally closed control is fully energized.
Lowest standby pressures to the motor (15-18 bar, or above) may be enough to turn the RDM and has the
potential to cause injury or damage.
RDM allows immediate reversing from maximum speed forward to maximum speed backward by
supplying voltage to the control valve. In general but especially for load with high inertia the shifting will
influence the system in terms of pressure spikes and possibly noise. To reduce this influence the shifting
should follow some guidelines.
Installation
RDM motors may be installed in any position. The motor housing must always remain full of hydraulic
fluid.
Take care to ensure air is removed and proper fluid level is achieved during system installation and use.
Fill the motor housing and system lines with clean fluid during installation. Connect the case drain line to
the uppermost drain port 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 8).
Filtration
Reservoir
To prevent damage to the motor, including premature wear, fluid entering the motor must be free of
contaminants. RDM 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
•
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.
Overpressure Protection
Reverse Displacement Motors with anti-cavitation and shock valve have internal overpressure protection
against pressure spikes, but the maximum flow across this valve is limited. For flow rates greater than 25
l/min. external relief valves are recommended to maintain system pressure within prescribed limits.
Shock 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. Applications that
are expected to operate near the shock valve setting should use a pressure compensated pump to
minimize the risk of heat build up.

System Design Parameters
Series Operation
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.
Shaft Loads
Reverse Displacement 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 RDM has been designed to handle typical external shaft loads from the fan drive and similar systems.
Contact your Danfoss representative to ensure proper selection of bearings and load orientation for
optimum life.
Radial load formula
Me = Re•L
L = Distance from mounting flange to point of load
Me = Maximum external moment
Re = Maximum radial side load
Shaft load orientation
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.
Vg = Displacement per revolution cm3/rev [in3/rev]
pO = Outlet pressure bar [psi]
pi = Inlet pressure bar [psi]
∆p = pO - pi (system pressure) bar [psi]
n = Speed min-1 (rpm)

Technical Information
Reverse Displacement Motor (RDM)
Features and Options
Shaft Torque
RDM motors are available with tapered, and straight-keyed shafts.
Shaft torque for tapered shafts
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.
Dust Seal 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.

Anti-Cavitation Valve
RDM motors are available with an anti-cavitation valve option. The key application for this option is for
Danfoss | October 2016L1424445 | BC00000239en-US0209 | 19
high inertia loads.
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.

Technical Information
Reverse Displacement Motor (RDM)
Features and Options
Controls
Reverse Displacement Motors are designed to operate in two positions: maximum forward and maximum
reverse displacement. The motors are spring biased to maximum forward displacement and hydraulically
shifted to reverse.
Reverse Displacement Motors have an integrated shifting valve to go from forward to reverse rotation.
The shifting valve is a proportional pressure reducing valve using system pressure to pilot the servo
piston.
The proportional controllability can be used to achieve a smooth shifting between forward and reverse
rotation. The diagram below shows the motor control characteristics related to valve current (12 Volt
solenoid).
The shaded portion is indicative of the possible variation in shift characteristics. Variation is caused by
differences in system pressure, speed and temperature.
For information regarding Electrical Specifications see Electrical Parameters on page 7.
The RDM control has a failsafe design. The integrated shift valve acts like an orifice to dampen the shifting
between maximum forward to maximum reverse and back. This feature protects the system components
against fatal damage in case the control signal changes without ramping or if it gets lost immediately
while reversing.
