Danfoss Energy Options has launched its Thorx CLM 5 C cam lobe motor.
Designed for drum drives on highway rollers and different compaction gear, the CLM 5 C hydraulic motor joins the S motors for skid steers and the not too long ago launched T motors for compact observe loaders within the Thorx lineup.
The CLM 5 C motor incorporates a sturdy, novel design that eliminates leakage, allows smoother highway ending, reduces service points, and extends part lifetime.
The motor displays complete effectivity of 92%, and it’s interchangeable with different drum drive cam lobe motors for ease of integration.
The Danfoss Thorx CLM 5 C motor’s bearing association eliminates leakage points whereas providing an prolonged service life. The Thorx motor options two sturdy taper curler bearings that forestall shaft deflection and thereby eradicate hydraulic oil leakage on the shaft seal. This association withstands increased masses than cam lobe motors with ball bearings, providing an extended lifetime.
The Thorx motor’s balanced rotary group affords smoother low-speed rotation, delivering higher highway ending and a smoother highway floor. In motor designs with an unbalanced rotary group, the variety of pistons beneath strain varies by +/-20%, making a leakage variation that leads to a pace ripple when the machine is working at low pace. With 12 pistons and 9 lobes, the Thorx motor’s rotary group has a continuing variety of pistons beneath strain, decreasing this low-speed ripple by as much as 90%.
The CLM 5 C motor options complete effectivity of 92%. This excessive effectivity degree reduces warmth technology, extending the service lifetime of elements equivalent to seals and bearings.
Like different motors within the Thorx household, CLM 5 C incorporates a sturdy, integral parking brake located on the heart of the motor, sustaining a compact envelope. The sturdy multi-disc brake eliminates the danger of jamming related to canine clutch brakes, generally utilized in different cam lobe motors. It additionally allows secure and dependable emergency braking a number of occasions all through the machine’s lifetime. A mechanical brake launch simplifies brake disengagement for towing, with the software conveniently positioned throughout the motor casing.
“After we designed our drum drive motor, our aim was to create a robust cam lobe motor with no leakage, no matter gear dimension. We’ve achieved that and rather more, rising motor effectivity and enabling higher highway ending,” says Chris Shrive, head of cam lobe motors, Danfoss Energy Options. “With the launch of our 5 C Thorx motor, Danfoss now has a full portfolio – together with axial piston and orbital motors – that may meet the necessity of nearly any drum drive utility.”
The CLM 5 C motor is interchangeable with different drum drive cam lobe motors, simplifying sourcing and substitute. The Thorx motor options the identical approximate dimensions and form as motors generally deployed on drum drives, in addition to a hole shaft that permits an non-compulsory through-drive.
With a most displacement of 545 cc, the Thorx CLM 5 C motor is right for compaction equipment as much as 3.5 tonnes.
