Disc Distribution Flow System — The motor incorporates an advanced disc valve distribution system with a separately driven, hydraulically balanced disc valve. This advanced design minimizes hydraulic and mechanical losses, giving the motor high efficiency even at high pressures and good starting characteristics. Additionally, the disc distribution flow system provides automatic compensation during operation, resulting in high volumetric efficiency and long service life while delivering smooth and reliable operation.
Tapered Roller Bearings for High Load Capacity — The OMS315 features tapered roller bearings supporting the output shaft, which permit high axial and radial forces. This robust bearing system makes the motors suitable for absorbing both static and dynamic radial loads, allowing the motor to be directly coupled to its driven load without the need for external bearings in many applications.
High-Pressure Shaft Seal (HPS) and Check Valves — The motor is equipped with a high-pressure shaft seal design that allows it to withstand significant back pressure without requiring a separate case drain line in many applications. This simplifies hydraulic circuit design, reduces component count, and enables the motor to be installed in series or parallel configurations. The motor also includes integrated check valves, which provide protection against cavitation and cross-port leakage during overrunning or freewheeling load conditions. The shaft seal design features low starting pressure and an ability to withstand significant back pressure.
Low Internal Leakage — The OMS315 is engineered with precision manufacturing that results in low internal leakage, ensuring high volumetric efficiency and consistent output speeds across varying pressure conditions.
Bi-Directional Operation — The OMS315 is a fully reversible (bi-directional) motor. 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.
Standardized Mounting and Shaft Configuration — The motor features a 32 mm diameter cylindrical output shaft with a parallel key (A10 x 8 x 45 mm, DIN 6885) and a standard square 4-hole SAE A mounting flange (4 x Ø13.5 mm on Ø106.4 mm PCD, 82.55 mm pilot diameter). The main ports are side-ported with G 1/2 BSPP threads, and the drain port is G 1/4 BSPP.

The unit length is 208 mm (other sources indicate L = 208 mm, L1 = 54.8 mm, L2 = 165 mm, L3 = 67 mm).
Wide Operating Temperature — The motor operates reliably across a wide temperature range of -20°C to +80°C (-4°F to +176°F) and can accommodate oil temperatures up to 80–90°C under normal conditions, supporting use in both cold outdoor and hot industrial environments.
Low Noise Operation — The OMS315 is designed for quiet operation, which is a vital feature for applications where noise reduction is a primary concern.
Fluid Versatility — The motor is compatible with a wide range of hydraulic fluids, including mineral oils, synthetic oils, and biodegradable fluids. The recommended oil viscosity range is 20–75 cSt. The motor operates effectively in both open-loop and closed-loop hydraulic systems and can be used in series or parallel circuit configurations.
High Efficiency — The OMS motor series is meticulously engineered for exceptional overall efficiency, proficiently converting a substantial portion of input hydraulic energy into mechanical work, thereby curbing energy consumption and operating expenditures.
Low Starting Pressure and High Starting Torque — The motor features low starting pressure, which contributes to its high starting torque characteristics. The OMS series delivers robust starting torque, making it especially advantageous for applications that necessitate surmounting initial resistance or handling substantial loads at startup.
Core Functionalities
LSHT (Low-Speed, High-Torque) Performance — The OMS315 is specifically optimized for LSHT operation. Its gerotor design provides high torque at low rotational speeds, maintaining consistent output from its minimum stable speed (approximately 15–20 rpm) up to its maximum continuous speed of 240 rpm. This LSHT capability eliminates the need for additional gear reduction in many applications.
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 OMS315 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. The motor also exhibits strong short-term overload capacity, allowing it to withstand peak torque demands for brief periods without damage.
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. The motor can be used in both parallel and series hydraulic system setups.
Overrunning Protection — Integrated check valves provide protection against cavitation and cross-port leakage during overrunning or freewheeling load conditions, ensuring safe operation in applications where the load may drive the motor faster than the supplied flow (e.g., winches, hydrostatic drives).
High Radial Load Absorption — Tapered roller bearings give the OMS315 a high radial load capacity, allowing it to be directly mounted to drive wheels, drums, or sprockets without external bearings. This simplifies machine design and reduces cost.
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.
Smooth and Vibration-Free Operation — The OMS315 runs smoothly at low speeds with minimal noise and vibration, enhancing operator comfort and reducing mechanical stress on associated equipment. Smooth operation at low speeds is particularly beneficial for precision applications, and the OMS, OMT, and OMV series are recommended for applications requiring very smooth running at low speeds.
Long Service Life and Low Maintenance — Robust cast iron construction, high-quality materials, wear-resistant gerotor gear set, tapered roller bearings, 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.
