MM Series Hydraulic Motors – Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main application areas for MM hydraulic motors?
MM hydraulic motors are highly versatile and are used in various industrial sectors:
- Conveyor systems
- Textile machinery
- Machine tools
- Fans
- Mining equipment
- Construction machinery and work platforms
This diversity demonstrates the motors’ high adaptability to different operating conditions and requirements.
What types of MM hydraulic motors are available and what differentiates them?
The MM series includes several variants:
- MM: Standard version, rear ports
- MMS: Standard motors, side ports
- MMP: Side ports with integrated internal pressure relief valve
- MMD: Side ports with integrated internal dual pressure relief valves
The differences are mainly in the integrated functions and protective mechanisms for specific applications.
What information do the performance diagrams of MM motors provide?
The performance diagrams (e.g., for MM 8, MM 12.5, MM 20, MM 32, MM 40, MM 50) show:
- Relationship between speed (RPM), torque (daNm/lb-in) and output power (kW)
- Data for continuous and intermittent operation
- Efficiency lines (e.g., 55%, 65%, 70%, 73%)
- Performance under different pressure levels (30–140 bar)
This data assists in optimal motor selection for varying load and pressure conditions.
What options are available for MM hydraulic motors?
Various options are available for customization:
- Spool valve and Gerotor design
- Flange mounting or without flange
- Side or rear ports
- Integrated pressure relief valves (single or dual)
- Various shaft designs (straight, splined)
- Metric or BSPP ports
- Options for speed sensing
What hydraulic fluids and operating parameters are recommended?
Recommendations for hydraulic oils:
- Mineral oil-based type HLP (DIN 51524) or HM (ISO 6743/4)
- Optimum viscosity: 20–75 mm²/s (98–347 SUS)
- Minimum viscosity: 13 mm²/s (70 SUS) at 50°C
- Filtration: ISO 20/16 (minimum 25 μm)
- Max. operating temperature: 82°C
How is the permissible radial shaft load calculated?
Calculation based on distance L (mm or inches) between point of load application and mounting face:
- Metric: Prad = 13040 / (61.5 + L) [daN]
- Imperial: Prad = 1155 / (2.42 + L) [lbs]
Maximum L value: 80 mm (3.15 in). If calculated values are exceeded, a flexible coupling must be used.
What shaft extensions and torque limits are available?
- Type C: Ø16 mm straight shaft, key 5x5x16 DIN 6885 – max. 3.9 daNm (345 lb-in)
- Type CK: Ø14 mm straight shaft, key 5x5x16 DIN 6885 – max. 3 daNm (265 lb-in)
- Type SH: Ø16.5 mm splined shaft B17x14 DIN 5482 – max. 4.4 daNm (390 lb-in)
These values must not be exceeded to prevent damage.
What mounting options and port types are available?
Mounting options:
- Three-bolt mounting
- Oval mounting plate (2-bolt)
Port options:
- Rear ports (standard)
- Side ports (S)
- Side ports with single pressure relief valve (P)
- Side ports with dual pressure relief valves (D)
Thread types: BSPP (ISO 228) or metric (ISO 262)
Standard rotation: A CW (clockwise) with pressure at port B, B CCW (counterclockwise) with pressure at port A. Reversal available on request.
