Motor Description The preferred operating direction applies to motors with 2-speed valve (see 2-speed valve : 2N0R / 2N0L on page 21). The preferred operating direction is the rotating direction of the motor when the flow direction is from port A to B. •...
Motor Description be divided between fewer motors, when some of the motors are disengaged. Attention: Any pressure in the working lines (A and B) during the freewheeling pushes the pistons out of the freewheeling position. This causes clattering noise when the pistons connect to the cam ring. Constant clattering of the pistons may cause premature wear or failure of the motor.
Motor Description Figure 16. 1-speed motor. Figure 17. Hydraulic circuit, 1-speed motor. 2-speed valve : 2N0R / 2N0L AAAA BBBB 2N0R AAAA BBBB 2N0L The 2-speed valve enables change of displacement during operation. The benefit of this function is a more extensive speed range with the same hydraulic system capacity.
Motor Description USING THE 2-SPEED VALVE Using the 2-speed valve works in the same manner as gear shifting. • SHIFTING TO HALF DISPLACEMENT The motor is switched to half displacement by applying the pilot pressure (see Pilot pressure on page 32) to the pilot line (Y). When the motor operates at half displacement, it rotates twice as fast and generates half of the torque when compared to a motor on full displacement with the same flow rate and pressure.

FREEWHEELING VALVE TYPE Please note that the images below also show the crossover position of the valve. • FW10 = VALVE TYPE 1 The working lines (A and B) of the motor are open (in short circuit), when the motor is disengaged.

Motor Description • Add lubricant from both nipples during operation. It is recommended to add lubricant when the motor is warm. • Lubricate the seal protector as part of the vehicle lubrication routine. • Observe lubrication adequacy during use and increase or decrease lubrication as needed.

System Design PARALLEL CIRCUIT Figure 25. Two motors in parallel circuit. Two motors in parallel circuit generate double torque and run half slower than one motor with the same flow rate and pressure. Note: The flow distribution of the motors must be ensured, if the operating conditions are very slippery or if some of the powered wheels carry much smaller load.
System Design 4.1.3 Counter pressure operation Counter pressure operation is needed mainly in series connection (see Motors in parallel or series circuit on page 26). Counter pressure operation means using the motor with high back pressure in the return line. The counter pressure operation affects the torque output of the motor due to decreased pressure difference over the working lines.
System Design Hydraulic connections Figure 29. The hydraulic connections. Figure 28. The interface of the motor hydraulics. All hydraulic connections of the motor are on the shaft mating surface. • WORKING LINE PORTS (A and B) The working lines, aka the feed and return lines of the motor are the high pressure lines meant for running the motor.

System Design 2/2 VALVE • When the motor is disengaged using the 2/2 valve (6a), the directional control valve (1) should have “Y” spool mid position. Use of the 2/2 valve may be optimized by switching the freewheeling valve (6a) just before (max.
4.4.1 Hydraulic fluid type Black Bruin hydraulic motors are designed to work with hydraulic fluids based on mineral oil. Consider the following requirements when choosing hydraulic fluid: • Hydraulic oils in accordance with ISO 6743-4 are recommended to be used.
System Design Attention: Running the motor with higher than allowed case pressure shortens the service life of the motor. Note: The lifetime of the sealing may be improved with an accumulator, which cuts the pressure peaks that are higher than the pre-charge pressure of the accumulator.
Page 33
System Design In open loop hydraulic system the minimum pressure may be done with back pressure. The back pressure is usually generated by a suitable check valve with cracking pressure. • CHARGE PRESSURE In closed loop hydraulic system the charge pressure is usually used as the minimum pressure.
Motor Sizing Motor Sizing Load carrying capacity 5.1.1 Wheel offset The load carrying capacity of the motor is defined by the offset value of the wheel rim and the application specific safety factor. The offset value is the distance from the wheel center line to the wheel interface. The load charts of the motors are given as a function of offset value.
Motor Sizing 5.1.2 Allowed wheel load The allowed wheel load is based on the fatigue strength of the shaft (curved part) and the load carrying capacity of the screw joints (flat part). The load curve is based on peak loads that are about 2x the average load. MOTOR LOAD CURVE Load [kN] Wheel offset,...
