Orbital motors, also known as low-speed high-torque (LSHT) hydraulic motors, are essential components in various industrial and mobile applications. They convert hydraulic pressure and flow into rotational mechanical power, delivering high torque at low speeds without the need for additional gearing. This makes them ideal for heavy-duty machinery, agricultural equipment, construction vehicles, and marine propulsion systems. At our company, we specialize in manufacturing premium orbital motors that combine durability, efficiency, and performance to meet the demands of modern industries.

Here are some frequently asked questions about orbital motors, answered in detail to help you understand their functionality and maintenance.
What is the typical lifespan of an orbital motor?
The lifespan depends on operating conditions, but with proper maintenance, our orbital motors can last over 10,000 hours. Regular fluid changes, avoiding contamination, and operating within specified parameters extend longevity.
How do I select the right orbital motor for my application?
Consider factors like required torque, speed, operating pressure, and environmental conditions. Refer to the product parameters table above and consult our technical team for customized recommendations based on your specific needs.
Can orbital motors be used in reverse rotation?
Yes, most models support bidirectional rotation. Ensure the motor is designed for reversible operation and check the manufacturer's guidelines to prevent damage.
What maintenance is required for orbital motors?
Routine maintenance includes checking hydraulic fluid levels, monitoring for leaks, replacing filters, and inspecting seals. Use recommended fluids and avoid overpressurization to ensure optimal performance.
Are orbital motors noisy during operation?
Our motors are engineered for smooth operation with noise levels typically below 75 dB under standard conditions. Proper installation and maintenance minimize noise further.
What should I do if my orbital motor overheats?
Overheating can result from excessive load, high ambient temperature, or fluid issues. Reduce load, check fluid quality and levels, and ensure adequate cooling. If problems persist, contact our support team for diagnostics.
Can I repair an orbital motor myself?
Basic maintenance like seal replacement can be done by trained personnel, but complex repairs should be handled by certified technicians to avoid voiding warranties and ensure safety.
Do orbital motors work with all hydraulic fluids?
They are compatible with most petroleum-based hydraulic fluids, but always check the manufacturer's recommendations. Avoid using fluids with high water content or incompatible additives to prevent damage.
What is the difference between orbital motors and gear motors?
Orbital motors provide higher torque at lower speeds with smoother operation due to their gerotor design, while gear motors are simpler but may have lower efficiency and higher noise levels.
How do I troubleshoot low torque output in an orbital motor?
Low torque can be caused by internal wear, fluid contamination, or pressure issues. Inspect for leaks, check fluid quality, and verify system pressure. Rebuilding or replacing worn components may be necessary.
