RW Wheel Motor – A Highly Compact Motor
The RW wheel motor is a highly compact hydraulic motor. The offset mounting flange enables the attachment of a wheel hub, allowing radial forces to be absorbed through the tapered roller bearings.
Applications:
Conveyors
Metalworking machinery
Road construction equipment
Mining machinery
Food processing equipment
Agricultural machinery
Special-purpose vehicles, etc.
Distributor Valve:
RW series motors feature a disc distributor valve: the distributor is separated from the output shaft and is driven via a short cardan shaft. A balance plate compensates for hydraulic forces around the distributor, ensuring high efficiency – even at high pressure – and excellent starting characteristics.
Gear Set:
Two types of internal gear sets are used: Gerotor (with standard teeth) and Geroler (with rollers mounted on the teeth). The RW series uses the Geroler system. The rollers reduce local loading and minimize tangential reaction forces on the rotor, leading to minimal friction. This ensures longer service life and high efficiency, even under continuous high pressure.
Low starting pressure ensures smooth, reliable operation with high efficiency
The output shaft is supported by tapered roller bearings, allowing for high axial and radial loads
Advanced disc valve design provides smooth and consistent flow control
The RW motor is ideal for applications with high loads and pressure drops
