Danfoss OMR100 Hydraulic Motor

Hydraulic motors are powered by pressurized hydraulic fluid and transfer rotational kinetic energy to mechanical devices. Hydraulic motors, when powered by a mechanical source, can rotate in the reverse direction, and act as a pump. Hydraulic rotary actuators use pressurized fluid to rotate mechanical components. As the fluid is carried to the hydraulic motor, it pushes on the gears, vanes or pistons of the motor and as a result, turns the motor output shaft. The rotating shaft uses flow and hydraulic pressure to create rotation torque, therefore generating the power and force needed to move the external load.
