Service Manual

Reverse Displacement Motors (RDM), Cartridge Mount

General Information

Overview

This manual includes information for the installation, maintenance, and minor repair of the Reverse Displacement Motors (RDM). The manual includes a description of the units and their individual components, troubleshooting information, and minor repair procedures. Performing installation, maintenance, and minor repair of RDM Motors according to the procedures in this manual will not affect your warranty.

Performing minor repairs requires the unit to be removed from the vehicle/machine. Thoroughly clean the unit before beginning maintenance, or repair activities. Since dirt and contamination are the greatest enemies of any type of hydraulic equipment, follow cleanliness requirements strictly. This is especially important when changing the system filter and when removing hoses or plumbing.

A worldwide network of Danfoss Authorized Service Centers (ASCs) is available for major repairs. Major repairs require the removal of the unit's endcap, which voids the warranty unless done by an ASC. Danfoss ASCs are trained by the factory and certified on a regular basis. You can locate your nearest ASC using the distributor locator at www.powersolutions.danfoss.com.

Safety precautions

Always consider safety precautions before beginning a service procedure. Protect yourself and others from injury. Take the following general precautions whenever servicing a hydraulic system.

W Warning

Unintended vehicle or machine movement hazard

When using the RDM in combination with S45 open circuit pumps with LS or EPC 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 if the normally closed control is fully energized. Lowest standby pressures to the motor, 15-18bar or above, may be enough to turn the RDM and has the potential to cause injury or damage.

W Warning

Flammable cleaning solvents

Some cleaning solvents are flammable. To eliminate the risk of fire, do not use cleaning solvents in an area where a source of ignition may be present.

W Warning

Fluid under pressure

Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate your skin causing serious injury and/or infection. This fluid may also be hot enough to cause burns. Use caution when dealing with hydraulic fluid under pressure. Relieve pressure in the system before removing hoses, fittings, gauges, or components. Never use your hand or any other body part to check for leaks in a pressurized line. Seek medical attention immediately if you are cut by hydraulic fluid.

W Warning

Personal safety

Protect yourself from injury. Use proper safety equipment, including safety glasses, at all times.

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.
