TheBM3 Series hydraulic orbit motorsare low-speed, high-torque (LSHT) hydraulic actuators designed based onorbital gearing principles, widely applied in construction machinery, agricultural equipment, marine systems, and industrial automation. Below is a structured breakdown of their technical features, performance parameters, typical applications, and maintenance guidelines.
------
I. Core Technology and Design Advantages
1. Orbital Gearing Mechanism
• Gerotor (Inner Rotor-Outer Stator) Engagement: The eccentric shaft drives the inner rotor, forming multiple sealed chambers with the outer stator. Hydraulic pressure rotates the rotor along the orbital path, converting hydraulic energy into mechanical torque.
• Multi-Tooth Meshing Structure: A single-stage gerotor pair creates3–5 sealed chambers, enhancing torque stability and reducing pulsation noise.
2. Key Technical Benefits
• Low-Speed, High-Torque Output:
• Speed range:10–500 RPM
• Torque density:30–500 Nm/cm³
• Ideal for heavy-load startups (e.g., winches, auger drives).
• Bidirectional Reversibility: Direction changes via hydraulic oil flow reversal, eliminating mechanical reversing mechanisms.
• Compact & Efficient:
• Mechanical efficiency:75%–85%
• 30%–40% smaller volume than gear motors for equivalent torque.
• Environmental Adaptability:
• Operating temperature:-20°C to +80°C
• Explosion-proof (Ex d IIB T4) options for mining/chemical applications.

Cost-Effectiveness Mid-to-High (Low LCC) Low (Initial Purchase) High (Precision Demands)
Selection Recommendations:
• Prioritize BM3 Series: Heavy-load startups, low-speed operations, space-constrained designs (e.g., mini-excavator slewing).
• Gear Motor Alternatives: Noise-insensitive, high-speed (>1,000 RPM) light-load applications (e.g., fans).
• Piston Motor Alternatives: Precision speed control (e.g., injection molding), ultra-high pressure (>350 bar) demands.

V. Maintenance & Troubleshooting
1. Routine Maintenance
• Hydraulic Oil Management: Replace every 500 hours (ISO VG46 recommended). Regularly test contamination levels (NAS 1638 ≤7).
• Seal Inspection: Check shaft seals every 2,000 hours. Replace with FKM (Viton®) for -25°C to +200°C applications.
• Bearing Lubrication: Replenish lithium grease (NLGI Grade 2) via housing fill ports every 1,000 hours.

VI. Technical Selection & Supplier Recommendations
1. Key Selection Parameters
• Load Torque Calculation:
T=P×Q2π×η T = \frac{P \times Q}{2\pi \times \eta} T=2π×ηP×Q
(T: Torque, P: Pressure, Q: Displacement, η: Mechanical Efficiency)
• Speed Matching: Ensure max. motor speed exceeds system requirements by ≥20%.
