Series T90 hydrostatic pumps and motors can be applied together or combined with other products in a
system to transfer and control hydraulic power. They are intended for closed circuit applications.
Series T90 variable displacement pumps are compact, high power density units. All models utilize the
parallel axial piston/slipper concept in conjunction with a tiltable swashplate to vary the pump's
displacement. Reversing the angle of the swashplate reverses the flow of oil from the pump and thus
reverses the direction of rotation of the motor output.
Series T90 pumps include an integral charge pump to provide system replenishing and cooling oil flow,
as well as control fluid flow. They also feature a range of auxiliary mounting pads to accept auxiliary
hydraulic pumps for use in complementary hydraulic systems. A complete family of control options is
available to suit a variety of control systems (mechanical, hydraulic, electric).
Series T90 motors also use the parallel axial piston/slipper design in conjunction with a fixed swashplate.
They can intake/discharge fluid through either port; they are bidirectional. They also include an optional
loop flushing feature that provides additional cooling and cleaning of fluid in the working loop.
The circuit diagram shows a hydrostatic transmission using a Series T90 axial piston variable
displacement pump and a Series T90 fixed displacement motor.
Specifications for the Series T90 motors are listed here for quick reference. For definitions and additional
information, see Operating Parameters on page 8.

speed
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
turbo-charged and Tier 4 engines.
For more information please see Pressure and Speed Limits, BC152886484313, when determining speed
limits for a particular application.

minimum speed limits the pump’s ability to maintain adequate flow for lubrication and
power transmission.

Operating conditions between rated and maximum speed should be restricted to less
than full power and to limited periods of time.
is the highest operating speed permitted. Exceeding maximum speed reduces product
life and can cause loss of hydrostatic power and braking capacity. For most drive
systems, maximum unit speed occurs during downhill braking or negative power
conditions.
Warning
Never exceed the maximum speed limit under any operating conditions.
System Pressure
Unintended vehicle or machine movement hazard. Exceeding maximum speed may cause a loss of
hydrostatic drive line power and braking capacity.
Machine manufacturer is responsible to 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.
Hydraulic unit life depends on the speed and normal operating — or weighted average — pressure that
can only be determined from a duty cycle analysis.
System pressure is the differential pressure between high pressure system ports. It is the dominant
operating variable affecting hydraulic unit life. High system pressure, which results
from high load, reduces expected life.
Application

order code of the pump. This is the applied system pressure at which the drive line
generates the maximum calculated pull or torque in the application.
is the highest recommended application pressure and 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.
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.
Under normal operating conditions, the rated case pressure must not be exceeded. During cold start case
pressure must be kept below maximum intermittent case pressure. Size drain plumbing accordingly.
The auxiliary pad cavity of axial pumps configured without integral charge pumps is referenced to case
pressure. Units with integral charge pumps have auxiliary mounting pad cavities referenced to charge
inlet (vacuum).
Possible component damage or leakage.
Operation with case pressure in excess of stated limits may damage seals, gaskets, and/or housings,
causing external leakage. Performance may also be affected since charge and system pressure are
additive to case pressure.
The high temperature limits apply at the hottest point in the transmission, which is normally the motor
case drain. The system should generally be run at or below the quoted rated temperature.
The maximum intermittent temperature is based on material properties and should never be
exceeded.
Cold oil will generally not affect the durability of the transmission components, but it may affect the
ability of oil to flow and transmit power; therefore temperatures should remain 16 °C [30 °F] above the
pour point of the hydraulic fluid.
The minimum temperature relates to the physical properties of component materials.
Size heat exchangers to keep the fluid within these limits. Danfoss recommends testing to verify that
these temperature limits are not exceeded.
is the highest intermittent pressure allowed under any circumstances. Applications
with applied pressures between rated and maximum require factory approval with
complete application, duty cycle, and life expectancy analysis.
must be maintained under all operating conditions to avoid cavitation.
All pressure limits are differential pressures referenced to low loop (charge) pressure.
Subtract low loop pressure from gauge readings to compute the differential.
Viscosity
For maximum efficiency and bearing life, ensure the fluid viscosity remains in the recommended range.
The minimum viscosity should be encountered only during brief occasions of maximum ambient
temperature and severe duty cycle operation.
The maximum viscosity should be encountered only at cold start.
To prevent premature wear, it is imperative that only clean fluid enter the hydrostatic transmission
circuit. A filter capable of controlling the fluid cleanliness to ISO 4406 class 22/18/13 (SAE J1165) or better
under normal operating conditions is recommended.
The filter may be located either on the inlet (suction filtration) or discharge (charge pressure filtration)
side of the charge pump. The selection of a filter depends on a number of factors including the
contaminant ingression rate, the generation of contaminants in the system, the required fluid cleanliness,
and the desired maintenance interval. Filters are selected to meet the above requirements using rating
parameters of efficiency and capacity.
Filter efficiency may be measured with a Beta ratio (βX).
Filter βx-ratio is a measure of filter efficiency defined by ISO 4572. It is defined as the ratio of the number
of particles greater than a given diameter (“x” in microns) upstream of the filter to the number of these
particles downstream of the filter.
For simple suction-filtered closed circuit transmissions and open circuit transmissions with return line
filtration, a filter with a β-ratio within the range of β
satisfactory. For some open circuit systems, and closed circuits with cylinders being supplied from the
same reservoir, a considerably higher filter efficiency is recommended. This also applies to systems with
gears or clutches using a common reservoir. For these systems, a charge pressure or return filtration
system with a filter β-ratio in the range of β
Because each system is unique, only a thorough testing and evaluation program can fully validate the
filtration system. Please see Design Guidelines for Hydraulic Fluid CleanlinessBC152886482150, for more
information.

Independent Braking System
Reservoir
Warning
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.
The reservoir should be designed to accommodate maximum volume changes during all system
operating modes and to promote de-aeration of the fluid as it passes through the tank.
A suggested minimum total reservoir volume is 5/8 of the maximum charge pump flow per minute with a
minimum fluid volume equal to 1/2 of the maximum charge pump flow per minute. This allows 30
seconds fluid dwell for removing entrained air at the maximum return flow. This is usually adequate to
allow for a closed reservoir (no breather) in most applications.
The reservoir outlet to the charge pump inlet should be above the bottom of the reservoir to take
advantage of gravity separation and prevent large foreign particles from entering the charge inlet line. A
125 mm screen over the outlet port is recommended.
The reservoir inlet (fluid return) should be positioned so that flow to the reservoir is discharged below the
normal fluid level, and also directed into the interior of the reservoir for maximum dwell and efficient deaeration. A baffle (or baffles) between the reservoir inlet and outlet ports will promote de-aeration and
reduce surging of the fluid.
Series T90 motors (as well as other system components) have pressure limitations. As Series 90 motors
are not equipped with overpressure protection, it is necessary that relief valves or pressure limiters are
present elsewhere in the high pressure circuit to protect components from excessive pressures.
Series T90 pumps are designed with a sequenced pressure limiting system and high pressure relief
valves. When the preset pressure is reached, the pressure limiter system acts to rapidly de-stroke the
pump in order to limit the system pressure. For unusually rapid load application, the high pressure relief
valve function is available to also limit the pressure level. Refer to publication Series T90 Pumps TechnicalInformation ManualBC152886484177 for more information.
For systems with relief valves only, high pressure relief valves are intended for transient overpressure
protection and are not intended for continuous pressure control. Operation over relief valves for
extended periods of time may result in severe heat build up. High flows over relief valves may result in
pressure levels exceeding the nominal valve setting and potential damage to system components.
Case Drain
A case drain line must be connected to one of the case outlets (L1 or L2) to return internal leakage and
loop flushing flow to the system reservoir. The higher of the two case outlets should be used to promote
complete filling of the case. Since case drain fluid is typically the hottest fluid in the system, it is
advantageous to return this flow through the heat exchanger.
Sizing Equations
The following equations are helpful when sizing hydraulic motors. Generally, the sizing process is
initiated by an evaluation of the machine system to determine the required motor speed and torque to
perform the necessary work function. Refer to Selection of drive line componentsBLN-9985, for a more
complete description of hydrostatic drive line sizing. First, the motor is sized to transmit the maximum
required torque. The pump is then selected as a flow source to achieve the maximum motor speed.
In vehicle propel drives with no external shaft loads where the system pressure is changing direction and
magnitude regularly and the operating parameters are within the limits, the normal L20 bearing life (80%
survival) will exceed the hydraulic life of the unit.

System Design Parameters
In non-propel drives such as vibratory drives, conveyor drives or fan drives, the operating pressure is
often constant. These drives have unique duty cycles compared to a propel drive. In these types of
applications a bearing life review is recommended.
In a bearing life analysis the following parameters are considered: Speed, pressure and external loads.
Other factors that affect life include fluid type, viscosity and cleanliness.
Shaft loading parameters
ReMaximum radial side load
MeMaximum external moment
LDistance from mounting flange to point of load
Shaft loading
External shaft load orientation
Applications with external shaft loads
Avoid external thrust (axial) loads in either direction whenever possible. Thrust loads could reduce the
bearing life in applications with low delta system pressure or when present in combination with radial
loading or bending moments.
External loads are found in applications where the motor is driven with a radial load on the shaft (i.e. belt
or gear driven) as well as installations with misalignment or improper concentricity between the motor
and drive coupling. All external loads will act to reduce the normal bearing life of a motor.
In applications where external radial shaft loads cannot be avoided, minimize the impact on bearing life
by orienting the load to the 180° position as shown in the figure below when possible. Use tapered
output shafts or clamped-type couplings where radial shaft loads are present.
If continuous applied radial loads exceed 25% of the maximum allowable or thrust (axial) loads are
present, contact your Danfoss representative for a bearing life evaluation.
Unintended vehicle or machine movement hazard.
Excessive motor loop flushing flow may result in the inability to build required system pressure in some
conditions. Maintain correct charge pressure under all conditions of operation to maintain pump control
performance in hydrostatic systems.
An integral non-adjustable loop flushing valve is incorporated into Series 90 motors. Installations that
require fluid to be removed from the low pressure side of the system circuit because of cooling
requirements or contamination removal will benefit from loop flushing.
The integral loop flushing valve is equipped with an orificed charge pressure relief valve designed with a
cracking pressure of 16 bar [232 psi]. Valves are available with several orifice sizes to meet the flushing
flow requirements of all system operating conditions.
The total system charge pump flow should be of sufficient volume to accommodate:
The number of motors in the system
•
System efficiency under worst case conditions
•
Pump control requirements
•
External needs
•
Although charge pump sizing requires the consideration of many system variables, the following table
gives a recommendation of what charge pump displacement may be required to accommodate the
flushing flow of each available charge relief valve orifice.
An optional speed sensor for direct measurement of speed is available. This sensor may also be used to
sense the direction of rotation.
A special magnetic ring is pressed onto the outside diameter of the cylinder block and a Hall effect sensor
is located in the motor housing. The sensor accepts supply voltage and outputs a digital pulse signal in
response to the speed of the ring. The output changes its high/low state as the north and south poles of
the permanently magnetized speed ring pass by the face of the sensor. The digital signal is generated at
frequencies suitable for microprocessor based controls.The sensor is available with different connectors
(see below).

Series T90 motors are available with a variety of splined, straight keyed, and tapered shaft ends. Nominal
shaft sizes and torque ratings are shown in the accompanying table.
Torque ratings assume no external radial loading. Continuous torque ratings for splined shafts are based
on spline tooth wear, and assume the mating spline has a minimum hardness of Rc 55 and full spline
depth with initial lubrication. Maximum torque ratings are based on fatigue and assume 200 000 load
reversals. The permissible continuous torque may approach the maximum rating if the spline is
immersed in circulating oil.
Recommended mating splines for Series T90 splined output shafts should be in accordance with ANSI
B92.1 Class 5. Danfoss external splines are modified class 5 fillet root side fit. The external spline major
diameter and circular tooth thickness dimensions are reduced to assure a clearance fit with the mating
spline. Contact your Danfoss representative for other splined shaft options.
