Danfoss OMR315 151-0617 Hydraulic Orbital Motor
Overview
The Danfoss OMR315 151-0617 is a low-speed, high-torque (LSHT) orbital hydraulic motor from Danfoss's OMR series. Designed as a fixed-displacement, bi-directional gerotor motor, it efficiently converts hydraulic energy into mechanical rotational power for a wide range of mobile and stationary applications. The OMR series is recognized for its durable cast iron construction, compact design, high reliability, and suitability for medium-duty applications requiring moderate torque and low rotational speeds.
Technical Features
Gerotor (Orbital) Gear Set Design — The motor utilizes a proven gerotor (orbital) gear set design. This design delivers smooth, high-torque output at low rotational speeds and provides good low-speed performance with a high starting torque, ensuring reliable operation from a standstill.
Fixed Displacement — The OMR315 has a geometric displacement of 315 cm³ per revolution. As a fixed-displacement motor, its output torque is determined by the system pressure, while its speed is directly controlled by the input flow rate. This simple, reliable relationship allows for easy stepless speed regulation using a flow control valve.
Low-Speed, High-Torque (LSHT) Characteristics — The motor is specifically designed for LSHT applications. It has a maximum continuous speed of 190 rpm and a maximum intermittent speed of 240 rpm, with a minimum stable speed as low as 15 rpm. This makes it ideal for applications requiring powerful, slow rotation without additional gear reduction.
Pressure & Torque Ratings — The motor operates at a rated pressure of 70–100 bar. It delivers a maximum continuous torque of 300 Nm, a maximum peak torque of 610 Nm, and has a maximum output power of 5 kW. The maximum continuous flow rate is 60 L/min.
Bi-Directional Operation — Designed for reversible operation, the motor rotates clockwise or counter-clockwise by simply reversing the hydraulic flow. This bi-directional capability eliminates the need for complex mechanical reversing mechanisms.
High Starting Torque — The gerotor design provides high starting torque, enabling the motor to easily overcome heavy breakaway loads from a standstill. This is critical for applications requiring the motor to start under full load.
Cast Iron Construction — The motor is built with a durable cast iron housing, providing structural integrity and long service life even in demanding operating conditions. Its robust construction ensures durability and reliability in tough environments.
Robust Sealing System — The motor is equipped with a high-pressure shaft seal (HPS), allowing it to handle significant back pressure without a dedicated drain line in many applications. This simplifies hydraulic circuit design and improves overall system reliability.
Standardized Mounting & Porting — The motor features a 25 mm diameter cylindrical shaft with a parallel key (A8×7×32 mm DIN 6885) and an A2 flange (SAE A2 oval 2-bolt flange). The main ports are side-ported G 1/2 BSPP with a drain port thread of 1/4" BSP. The SAE A2 (2-hole) flange standard simplifies installation and ensures compatibility with a wide range of hydraulic components.
Compact Dimensions — The motor has a compact overall length of 182.5 mm (L) and a length of 54.8 mm (L1), making it suitable for installation in equipment with limited space.
Bi-Directional Rotation — The motor supports fully reversible rotation, offering flexibility for bidirectional drive applications without performance compromise.
Wide Operating Temperature — The motor operates reliably across a broad temperature range, supporting use in both cold outdoor and hot industrial environments.
Fluid Versatility — The motor is compatible with a wide range of hydraulic fluids, including mineral oils, synthetic oils, and biodegradable fluids, making it adaptable to diverse application requirements.
Replacement Part Number — The OMR315 151-0617 supersedes 151-0717. It has been superseded by the enhanced Danfoss OMR X 315 (11186652), which offers up to 15% higher torque and a stronger bearing capacity.
Core Functionalities
Low-Speed, High-Torque (LSHT) Performance — The motor is specifically designed for LSHT operation. Its gerotor design provides high torque at low rotational speeds, enabling it to deliver consistent torque output across its operating speed range, from its minimum stable speed of 15 rpm up to 190 rpm continuous (240 rpm intermittent).
Stepless Speed Control — As a fixed-displacement motor, its speed is infinitely variable and directly proportional to the hydraulic flow rate. Precise control from the minimum to the maximum speed is achieved with a simple flow control valve, eliminating the need for complex mechanical transmissions.
High Starting Torque & Breakaway Capability — The motor's gerotor design provides high starting torque, enabling it to easily overcome heavy breakaway loads from a standstill. This is critical for applications where the motor must start under full load.
Bi-Directional Drive — The motor can change rotational direction instantly by reversing the hydraulic flow, supporting applications that require forward-reverse cycling without additional mechanical reversing components.
Smooth & Constant Torque — The motor runs smoothly over its entire speed range and maintains a constant torque output, regardless of speed fluctuations, ensuring consistent and reliable performance.
Energy Efficient Operation — High mechanical and volumetric efficiency ensures minimal energy loss, converting a maximum amount of hydraulic energy into useful mechanical power. This reduces heat generation and overall system power consumption.
Simple Installation — The motor is easy to install and arrange, with low investment costs. It can be used in series or parallel in the hydraulic system, providing flexibility for system designers.
Long Service Life — The combination of a robust cast iron housing, gerotor gear set, high-strength output shaft, and robust sealing system ensures a long service life under demanding conditions, leading to reduced downtime and lower total cost of ownership.
