Eaton DOWMAX ME Motor Product and Application Information
“Our mission was to
aggressively affirm Eaton's
capabilities in advanced
product design, manufacture
and supply, as well as
our system and servicing
strengths that are actively
at work around the world,”
said Noriyuki Kimata, general
manager of Eaton in Japan.
With over 40 years of manufacturing
history and more than a 250,000
Million working units in the field
worldwide Eaton DOWMAX Motors
have become the product of choice
for demanding and precise hydraulic
drive applications. With a superior
power to weight ratio DOWMAX
Motors provide stable, highly efficient,
safe and reliable drive solutions for a
wide variety of mobile and industrial
applications. This outstanding product
line ensures; stable performance,
excellent durability in both harsh and
differing working environments while
providing optimum up-time, leading to
improved machine performance and
productivity.
About Eaton DOWMAX® ME Motor
The Eaton DOWMAX ME Motor is an
axial piston High Torque Low Speed
(HTLS) motor. Incorporating a unique
and compact double swash plate
design with up to 22 pistons it differs
from the more traditional, radial piston
(HTLS) motors. As well as outstanding
power to weight performance and
compactness, the unique design
offers significant benefits by reducing
speed fluctuations, minimizing flow
drift and ripple, common to (HTLS)
radial piston motors, by as much as
50%. Due to its’ double swash-plate
design, low speed performance is
considered outstanding, even below
5 rpm, offering smooth and precise
performance over a wide operating
range. Furthermore the unique design
ensures the motor works in the high
efficiency zone, ensuring machines
operate in the best conditions possible,
ensuring optimum performance,
energy efficiency and safety. For
example, when installed in swing
and winch drive applications in multi
industrial and mobile platforms. Higher
starting torque, overall efficiency and
rugged construction makes DOWMAX
the superior drive solution of choice
for engineers, for machines with high
load starts, where smooth and precise
control is critical. This is particularly
important to avoid machine vibration,
instability or overshoot conditions that
may compromise machine or operator
safety and comfort.
The Eaton DOWMAX ME Motor
maintains its outstanding performance
in the harshest of environments with
a rugged and compact construction.
An outstanding power to weight ratio
makes it the most compact motor
in it’s class while it’s high tolerance
to thermal shock ensures consistent
performance over a wide temperature
range. Even applications with more
than 70°C temperature differences
between system and ambient
continue to perform at an optimum
level. Significantly lower noise levels
are achieved through the unique dual
swash-plate, multi piston configuration
plus an advanced timing plate design
that reduces pressure ripples that
generate system pulsations.
The Eaton DOWMAX ME Motor family
offers a wide range of displacements
with 13 standard models. With a wide
variety of features and enhancements
including; mechanical brake, planetary
gear box, speed sensor and integral
control features, the motor is easily
customized to suit differing customer
and application needs. With ongoing
development the Eaton DOWMAX
ME Motor range is set to continue
its’ leading edge performance while
enhancing its’ strong reputation for
reliability and improving machine
productivity.
