Gear Motors - Cheap Hydraulic Motors
The gear motor is one of the classic and versatile hydraulic motor series. Thanks to its simple design, high speeds and robust operation, this type of motor is suitable for a wide range of applications – whether conveyor technology, small drives or mobile hydraulics. At LöSi, you will find a selected range of gear motors that impress with their numerous variants, compact dimensions and rapid availability.
What is a Gear Motor?
The gear motor is the classic among rotating hydraulic drives. It usually works on the principle of the external gear motor: Two intermeshing gears convert the pressure of the hydraulic fluid directly into rotary motion.
This design impresses with its ingenious simplicity. Since there are only a few moving parts, the gear motor is extremely robust, maintenance-friendly, and cost-efficient. It is the ideal solution when high speeds are required with compact dimensions.
Advantages of Our Gear Motors
While piston motors are often complex and expensive, the gear motor scores with economic efficiency and performance in the upper speed range. It is the reliable "endurance runner" in many systems.
Your technical advantages:
- High Speeds: Designed by construction for fast rotations (high-speed motors).
- Compact Design: High power density with low space requirement – ideal for standardized setups.
- Resistant: Less susceptible to contamination in the oil than highly sensitive piston motors.
- Economical: Excellent price-performance ratio for standard applications.
Typical Areas of Application for the Gear Motor
The gear motor is an all-rounder that is firmly established in both stationary industry and mobile hydraulics. Typical scenarios are applications that require continuous, fast movement:
- Cooling Technology: Drive of fans in construction machinery and power units (fan drives).
- Conveyor Technology: Operation of conveyor belts and screw conveyors.
- Mechanical Engineering: Small drives for auxiliary units and tools.
- Agricultural Technology: Drive of spreader discs or mowers.
Selection Criteria & Technical Data
For the motor to work efficiently, it must match the hydraulic pump and the load.
Define the following parameters for your selection:
- Displacement (cm³/rev): Determines the speed in combination with the oil flow.
- Speed Limit: Can the motor withstand the required maximum speed permanently?
- Pressure Range: Does the operating pressure match the housing strength (often aluminum or cast iron)?
- Special Equipment: Do you need an outboard bearing (for radial forces) or integrated pressure relief valves?
Also pay attention to the matching shaft and flange design (e.g., Euro standard or SAE) to facilitate assembly.
