1. Product Positioning and Core Advantages
The BMH series Orbit Hydraulic Motors arelow-speed, high-torque hydraulic motorsfeaturing an advancedGeroler Gear Set (internal gear ring with cycloidal rotor design). Key advantages include:
• High-pressure automatic compensation: Suitable for high-pressure applications (max. continuous pressure: 17.5 MPa; peak pressure: 20 MPa).
• High efficiency and reliability: Low starting pressure reduces energy loss, with mechanical efficiency >85%.
• Long service life: High-strength materials for critical components (e.g., bearings, gears) ensure >8,000 hours of operation.
• Compact design: Small size and lightweight (e.g., BMH500 weighs only 13 kg) for easy installation and integration.

3. Core Performance Features
1. Low-Speed Stability
• Cycloidal gear design enables ultra-low-speed smooth operation (minimum 5 rpm), ideal for heavy-duty cold starts (e.g., excavator travel drives).
• Minimal torque fluctuation ensures consistent output and prevents equipment vibration.
2. High Load Capacity
• Double-row tapered roller bearings support high radial (10–30 kN) and axial loads (5–15 kN).
• Directly drives heavy-duty equipment (e.g., drilling rig power heads, ship winches).
3. Adaptability to Harsh Conditions
• Shaft seal design withstands high backpressure (≤10 MPa), suitable for closed-loop hydraulic systems.
• Supports parallel/series configurations to meet varying pressure/flow demands (e.g., multi-motor systems for large conveyors).
4. Low-Noise Operation
• Optimized porting system reduces operational noise, meeting industrial noise standards (≤85 dB).
4. Typical Applications
1. Construction Machinery
• Excavator travel/swing drives, drilling rig power heads, concrete pump truck mixing systems.
2. Agricultural Machinery
• Combine harvester threshing units, fishing boat winches, tractor hydraulic lift systems.
3. Industrial Equipment
• Injection molding machine screw drives, conveyor roller drives, woodworking machine feed systems.
4. Marine and Offshore Engineering
• Fishing boat trawl systems, port crane luffing mechanisms, offshore drilling platform equipment.
5. Selection and Usage Recommendations
1. Displacement Selection
• Match displacement to load requirements: Heavy-duty applications (e.g., drilling rigs) should prioritize larger displacement (e.g., BMH500) to reduce system pressure and heat.
2. Pressure Matching
• Ensure system pressure does not exceed the motor’s peak pressure (e.g., BMH500 peak: 16 MPa) to avoid seal damage.
3. Speed Control
• Avoid prolonged operation above rated speed (e.g., BMH500 continuous: ≤155 rpm) to minimize wear.
4. Hydraulic Fluid Selection
• Recommended: ISO VG 68 anti-wear hydraulic oil (viscosity: 37–73 cSt), cleanliness class ISO 18/13.
5. Installation and Maintenance
• Pre-fill with hydraulic oil before installation to prevent dry starts.
• Regularly replace filters and monitor oil cleanliness to extend seal life.

7. Summary
The BMH series Orbit Hydraulic Motors arecost-effective mid-range solutionsfor medium-to-heavy, low-speed, high-torque applications. They excel incompact design, efficiency, reliability, and low maintenance costs, making them viable alternatives to premium brands (e.g., Eaton 2K, Danfoss OMS) in non-extreme conditions. For ultra-high-pressure or precision control needs, evaluate their peak pressure limits (16–20 MPa) or consider specialized high-pressure models.
