Danfoss OMS250 151F2205 Hydraulic Orbital Motor
Overview
The Danfoss OMS250 151F2205 is a fixed-displacement, low-speed high-torque (LSHT) orbital hydraulic motor from Danfoss‘s OMS series. Designed for medium to heavy-duty applications, this gerotor-type motor efficiently converts hydraulic pressure and flow into powerful, reliable rotary mechanical power across a wide range of demanding mobile and industrial environments. The OMS series is recognized for its compact yet robust construction, high torque density, smooth low-speed operation, and suitability for applications requiring consistent performance under challenging operating conditions.
Technical Features
Fixed-Displacement Gerotor (Orbital) Design
Motor Type: Fixed-displacement, bi-directional orbital motor utilizing a proven gerotor gear set. The motor features end‑face flow distribution technology, with a modern “plug-in rotor stator parameter design“ ensuring high efficiency, high working pressure, low starting pressure, stable operation, and bidirectional torque consistency.
Displacement: 250 cm³/rev (250 cc/rev), positioning it among the larger displacement models in the OMS series.
Pressure and Torque Capabilities
Maximum Continuous Pressure Drop: 125–160 bar. The motor can withstand up to 250 bar working pressure, making it suitable for high-pressure heavy-duty hydraulic systems.
Maximum Continuous Torque: 720 Nm (6,374 lbf-in)
Maximum Intermittent Torque: 870 Nm (7,701 lbf-in)
Maximum Continuous Power Output: 14.5 kW
This high torque density in a compact package makes it ideally suited for demanding applications that require powerful, slow rotation without additional gear reduction. The high torque output, both starting and running, is delivered efficiently across the operating range.
Speed and Flow Ratings
Maximum Continuous Speed: 300 rpm
Maximum Intermittent Speed: 360 rpm
Minimum Stable Speed: As low as 15 rpm (load-dependent), enabling precise motion control and positioning.
Maximum Continuous Flow: 75 L/min
Maximum Intermittent Flow: 90 L/min
The motor is capable of smooth, stable operation at very low speeds — a key characteristic of LSHT orbital motor design.
Shaft and Mounting Configuration
Shaft Type: 1 1/4 inch (31.75 mm) cylindrical shaft with standard European flange mounting.
Mounting Flange: Standard 4-hole flange.
Port Connections: Main ports: 7/8″‑14 UNF. Drain port: 7/16″‑20 UNF.
These standardized SAE interfaces ensure easy installation, global compatibility, and straightforward integration with common hydraulic components.
Durable Construction and Design Features
Housing: Robust cast iron construction with a black finish, providing structural integrity and durability for demanding operations. The cast iron body ensures high wear resistance and long service life even in tough environments.
Weight: Approximately 12.0 kg, offering high power density with manageable weight.
Dimensions: Maximum length 196 mm; L1: 43.5 mm; L2: 153 mm.
Bearing Design: The motor is engineered for durability and resistance to wear in continuous heavy-duty cycles.
Built-in Check Valves: Fitted with integrated check valves (option), which provide protection against cavitation and cross‑port leakage during overrunning or freewheeling load conditions, protecting the motor from internal damage.
High-Pressure Shaft Seal (HPS): Designed with an advanced high‑pressure shaft seal that can manage high return line back pressure without requiring a separate case drain line in many applications, simplifying hydraulic circuit design.
Low Leakage Design: Precision manufacturing ensures minimal internal leakage, high volumetric efficiency, and long-term reliability.
Efficiency and Performance
High Overall Efficiency: Combines high volumetric and mechanical efficiency to minimize energy loss, converting maximum hydraulic energy into useful mechanical power. This reduces heat generation and overall system power consumption, contributing to lower operating costs.
Smooth Running: The motor provides constant operating torque over a wide speed range, resulting in smooth, vibration‑free performance at both low and high speeds. This smooth operation is particularly beneficial for applications requiring stable and precise motion control.
Bi-Directional Operation
The OMS250 is fully reversible (bi-directional). Rotational direction is simply controlled by reversing the hydraulic flow, providing flexible system design for forward‑reverse cycling without the need for complex mechanical reversing mechanisms.
Operating Conditions
Ambient Operating Temperature: -20°C to +80°C, supporting use in both cold outdoor and hot industrial environments.
Fluid Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of hydraulic fluids, including mineral oils, synthetic oils, and biodegradable fluids. Operates effectively in both open-loop and closed-loop hydraulic systems.
Recommended Cleanliness: To ensure optimal performance and maximum service life, hydraulic fluid cleanliness should meet ISO 4406 class 20/18/15 or better.
Core Functionalities
Low-Speed, High-Torque (LSHT) Performance
The OMS250 is specifically optimized for LSHT operation. Its gerotor design delivers high torque at low rotational speeds, maintaining consistent output from its minimum stable speed (as low as 15 rpm) up to its maximum continuous speed of 300 rpm. The motor is ideal for applications requiring powerful, slow rotation without the need for additional gear reduction.
Stepless Speed Control
As a fixed-displacement motor, output speed is infinitely variable and directly proportional to the hydraulic flow rate. Precise speed control from minimum to maximum is achieved simply and cost-effectively with a flow control valve, eliminating the need for complex mechanical transmissions.
High Starting Torque
The gerotor design provides high starting torque, ensuring smooth, reliable startup from a standstill, even when the motor must start under full load and overcome high breakaway loads. This is critical for applications with high inertia loads or frequent start-stop cycles.
Constant Torque Across Speed Range
The motor runs smoothly over its entire speed range and maintains a constant torque output regardless of speed fluctuations, ensuring consistent, predictable performance and load handling.
Bi-Directional Drive
Full reversible capability allows the motor to change rotational direction instantly by reversing the flow, supporting forward‑reverse cycling applications such as winches, augers, and sweeper brushes without additional mechanical reversing components.
High Back-Pressure Tolerance
The high‑pressure shaft seal (HPS) enables the motor to tolerate significant return line back pressure without requiring a separate drain line. This simplifies hydraulic system design, reduces component count, and allows installation in series or parallel circuit configurations.
Overrunning Protection
Integrated check valves (where fitted) protect against cavitation and cross‑port leakage during overrunning or freewheeling loads, ensuring safe operation in applications where the load may drive the motor faster than the supplied flow (e.g., winches, hydrostatic drives).
Energy-Efficient Operation
High mechanical and volumetric efficiency minimizes energy loss, converts maximum hydraulic energy into useful mechanical power, reduces heat generation and system power consumption, and contributes to lower operating costs.
Long Service Life and Low Maintenance
Robust cast iron construction, high‑quality materials, wear‑resistant gerotor gear set, and advanced sealing system minimize wear and extend service intervals. Proper fluid maintenance (regular oil and filter changes) ensures long-term operational stability with minimal downtime.
