JHM Series
Hydraulic Motor

A crankshaft and connecting-rod low-speed, high-torque motor (5-cylinder radial star-type motor). The eccentric crankshaft and five-piston design runs quietly; starting torque is high and the motor runs smoothly at very low speed. A flat compensating valve plate keeps leakage low, the connecting rods run on rollers on the crankshaft, and the motor is reversible. Displacement, output shaft and distributor can be configured to suit the machine.

Displacement

Rated pressure 16–25 MPa, maximum pressure 20–32 MPa; a maximum power (15–158 kW) is listed for every model. All models in a series share the same outline and size, so torque and speed can be changed on the same mounting interface.

Ratings: rated torque is the value at rated pressure, not the output at maximum pressure; maximum pressure is not a continuous working pressure. The speed range is the permissible speed band; torque and speed cannot both be at their upper limits. Weight is the motor weight, the same within a series; distributor weights are listed separately (see below).

  2. 6Series number; all models in a series share the same outline and size
  3. 500Displacement (ml/r)
  4. BOutput shaft: no letter = standard straight-sided external spline shaft, B = parallel key shaft, I = internal spline shaft (minor-diameter centred)
  • If the distributor type is not stated when ordering, the standard configuration is supplied; please state any special requirement when ordering.
  • The motor is reversible, and the output shaft can take some radial and axial load; please confirm the permissible values for your duty.

JHM construction

Crankshaft and connecting-rod design

Five pistons drive the eccentric crankshaft round through connecting rods, and the flat compensating valve plate feeds each cylinder in turn with the crank angle; the connecting rods run on rollers on the crankshaft.

  • Eccentric crankshaft and five-piston design with a low excitation frequency, for quiet running
  • New-type sealing rings between piston and cylinder, for high volumetric efficiency
  • High power-to-weight ratio, with relatively small size and weight

The animation uses JHM16 to explain the construction. In the section, red is high-pressure oil and blue is return oil; oil passages and bearings are schematic. Refer to the data table and the matching drawings for a specific model.
