Rexroth A6VM250HZ/63W2-VZB027B Hydraulic Motor
Overview
The Rexroth A6VM250HZ/63W2-VZB027B is a high-performance axial piston variable displacement motor manufactured by Bosch Rexroth. As part of the A6VM series, this motor features a bent-axis design and is engineered for hydrostatic transmissions in both open and closed circuits, delivering precise control of fluid flow and exceptional reliability in demanding mobile and industrial applications. The A6VM series is widely recognized for its high power density, wide control range, high overall efficiency, and long service life.
Technical Features
Bent-Axis Design with Axial Tapered Piston Rotary Group — The motor utilizes a bent-axis design with an axial tapered piston rotary group, specifically engineered for hydrostatic drives in both open and closed circuits. This design enables efficient hydraulic power conversion with high power density and smooth operation. The motor is built with a robust cast iron housing, ensuring durability under extreme conditions.
High Displacement & Pressure Capacity — The motor has a maximum geometric displacement of 250 cm³ per revolution. Due to the size classification (250 to 1000), it operates at a nominal pressure of 350 bar and can withstand maximum intermittent pressures up to 400 bar, making it suitable for high-pressure heavy-duty hydraulic systems. Smaller sizes in the A6VM series (28 to 200) offer higher pressure ratings of 400 bar nominal and 450 bar peak.
HZ Two-Point Hydraulic Control — The motor is equipped with HZ control, which is a two-point hydraulic control system. This control mechanism allows the displacement to be set to either Vg max (maximum displacement) or Vg min (minimum displacement) by switching the pilot pressure at port X on or off. When no pilot pressure is applied, the motor operates at Vg max, delivering maximum torque and minimum speed. When pilot pressure exceeds the switching threshold, the motor switches to Vg min, providing minimum torque and maximum permissible speed. The control oil is internally taken from the high-pressure side of the motor. For reliable control, an operating pressure of at least 30 bar is required. The maximum permissible pilot pressure is 100 bar.
Stepless Variable Displacement — The displacement can be infinitely changed from Vg max (maximum displacement) to Vg min (=0), providing exceptional flexibility to adjust output speed and torque according to different working requirements. The output speed depends on the pump flow rate and the motor displacement, while the output torque increases with the pressure differential between the high-pressure and low-pressure sides and with increasing displacement.
Wide Speed Range — The motor is approved for very high rotational speeds while maintaining excellent low-speed operating characteristics. The A6VM250 offers a control range that can be swiveled to zero, satisfying both high-speed and high-torque requirements.
High Flow Capacity — The motor has a maximum flow rate of approximately 675 L/min, providing substantial hydraulic power for demanding applications.
High Torque Output — The motor delivers high torque output, ensuring powerful performance in heavy-load conditions. Output torque increases with the pressure difference between the high-pressure and low-pressure sides and with increasing displacement.
High Power Density — The motor offers high power density, meaning it delivers substantial power output relative to its size and weight, contributing to space-saving installation and efficient system design. This is achieved through a compact, robust long-life bearing system.
FKM Seals for Wide Temperature Compatibility — Equipped with FKM (fluoroelastomer) seals, this motor is compatible with various hydraulic fluids and suitable for operation across a wide temperature spectrum, ensuring reliable performance in diverse operating conditions.
Series 63 Index — The 63W2 series index indicates Series 6, Index 3, Standard version with W2 configuration, representing the latest design iteration within the A6VM product family.
Good Starting Characteristics & Low Inertia — The motor features excellent starting characteristics and low moment of inertia, enabling smooth and responsive operation even under heavy starting loads.
Key Functionalities
Hydrostatic Transmission in Open and Closed Circuits — The motor is designed for hydrostatic drives in both open and closed circuits, providing versatility for various hydraulic system configurations. In closed circuit systems, the motor operates within a sealed hydraulic loop where fluid is continuously recirculated between the pump and motor, minimizing losses and leakage. In open circuit systems, fluid is supplied from a central pump through a directional control valve and returns to the reservoir after each cycle.
Two-Point Displacement Switching — The HZ control system provides a simple, reliable method for switching between two distinct displacement settings. When pilot pressure is off, the motor operates at Vg max for maximum torque and minimum speed. When pilot pressure is applied (typically >10 bar), the motor switches to Vg min for minimum torque and maximum permissible speed. This two-point control is ideal for applications requiring simple, robust speed or torque selection without the need for proportional control.
Stepless Speed and Torque Control — The motor's output speed depends on the pump flow rate and the motor displacement, while the output torque increases with the pressure differential between the high-pressure and low-pressure sides and with increasing displacement. The wide control range enables the variable motor to satisfy requirements for both high speed and high torque, with displacement infinitely adjustable from maximum to zero.
High Starting Torque — The bent-axis design naturally provides excellent starting characteristics and high starting torque, enabling the motor to easily overcome heavy breakaway loads in demanding applications such as excavators, cranes, and other heavy machinery.
Energy Efficient Operation — The variable displacement capability enables energy savings by allowing the motor to deliver only the flow and torque required by the load. By eliminating the need for gear shifts and enabling the use of smaller pumps, the A6VM series contributes to reduced energy consumption and lower operating costs.
Cost Savings Through Simplified Design — The wide control range enables cost savings through the elimination of gear shift mechanisms and the possibility of using smaller pumps, reducing overall system complexity and component costs.
High Reliability & Low Maintenance — With its robust construction, high-quality materials, wear-resistant components, and high-precision bearings, the motor ensures long-term operational stability with minimal maintenance requirements, reducing downtime and total cost of ownership.
Optional Features — The motor can be equipped with optional features including an attached flushing and boost pressure valve, as well as an integrated or attached counterbalance valve, allowing customization for specific application requirements.
