New D Series Gear Motor Excels in Demanding Off-Road Applications
Sauer-Danfoss introduces cast iron motor for maximum performance, efficiency, extended life and installation flexibility.
AMES, Iowa, USA, Sauer-Danfoss Inc. (NYSE:SHS) Sauer-Danfoss new D Series cast iron gear motor provides a 276 bar [4000 psi] solution in a ductile, three piece housing, complete with an electrohydraulic proportional relief valve. Suited for heavy duty fan drives and powering work functions, from mining conveyors, road pavers and crushers to flail and side angle mowers, it perfectly complements the Sauer-Danfoss D Series cast iron gear pump.
Many off-road applications are known for extreme performance requirements like the ability to consistently perform under varying high load conditions and withstand dust, dirt and high temperatures. Enter Tier IV and Stage III B engine emission requirements,, says Jeff Brenner, Product Portfolio Manager, and you have engines running at even higher temperatures, with greater need for cooling..
The D Series motor is an excellent choice for variable speed fan drive systems. In addition to handling very high cooling demand, an EH proportional relief valve maximizes available machine horsepower by providing cooling only as needed. The electronic interface makes the D Series motor fully PLUS+11 Compliant to integrate with PLUS+11 microcontrollers and other compliant products including sensors and graphical displays.
Brenner continues, With D Series motors, our focus is on four key product attributes: increased performance, efficiency, extended life or durability and installation flexibility..
Increased Performance
The D Series motors exceed the capabilities of aluminum motors in applications requiring high pressure, 276 bar [4000 psi] vs. 207 bar [3000 psi], high temperatures and duty cycles. Fan speeds can be controlled to maintain optimum engine and hydraulic system temperatures. Fan reversing capability enables a radiator cleaning cycle. When used in conveyors, the D Series motors offer excellent starting torque to control the conveyor speed while optimizing feed rates and maintaining speed under varying load conditions.
Greater Efficiency/Extended Life
The use of the EH proportional relief valve makes fan drives up to 50 percent more efficient than direct or belt drives. In the remote possibility of valve failure, fan speed defaults to the highest setting to maintain cooling integrity. The D Series motors also incorporate high temperature seals and a dust resistant shaft seal which improve performance under extreme temperature and pressure conditions and extend operating life. The bronze sleeve bushings in the front flange are lined with Teflonn PTFE, and provide increased radial load capability before requiring the use of outrigger bearings.
Installation Flexibility
The D Series compact design is 20 percent smaller than a conventional motor. Shorter length and consequent higher power density help to ease installation in tighter places. The side or rear port options come in a variety of styles, and add to greater machine design flexibility.
Many benefits result from the D Series motorss modular configuration, such as multiple installation options. Our intent is to maximize ways for OEMs to meet their most demanding machine design and operation requirements,, concludes Eric Slocombe, Product Development Engineer.

New Series 53 Axial Piston Pump from Rexroth
The new Rexroth A10VO Series 53 medium-duty axial piston variable pump (250/315 bar) combines innovative functionality using electro-proportional controllers with robust control electronics. The new series 53, with its extremely favorable power/weight ratio, is used as a pump for working hydraulics in open circuits.
In an electrohydraulic system, the swivel angle can be adjusted and the differential pressure can be controlled electroproportionally. For the first time a pump of this power category can also be used for hydraulic-mechanical power control. The power controller prevents overloading the combustion engine. This frees up the operator from the task of power control to focus on the actual operating functions of the machine.
The electroproportional swivel angle adjustment allows precise flow control and electronic limit load control. This makes it very easy for manufacturers to design pump control systems for speed control of individual consumers. The electrically-adjustable differential pressure control improves the resolution for fine control, such as for cylinder end-position damping.
The new A10VO series 53 variable pump provides a starting point for developing intelligent, fully electrohydraulic system solutions such as Electrohydraulic Flow Matching (EFM). The Rexroth control electronics ensure a total volume flow determined by the requirements of the individual consumers. This improves response characteristics and decreases the sensitivity to changes in disturbance variables. The implemented hydraulics are more agile and less sensitive to vibration.
