In modern hydraulic systems, the orbital hydraulic motor (orbit hydraulic motor / hydraulic orbit motor)—a popular type of hydraulic motor—is widely used in agricultural machinery, construction equipment, sanitation vehicles, and industrial drives thanks to its low speed, high torque performance, compact design, and adaptability.
Whether in hydraulic pumps and motorscombination systems or as part of standalone hydraulic circuits, the performance of these motors heavily depends on the rotor-stator set design and manufacturing quality. This critical component directly affects the motor’s efficiency, durability, and maintenance requirements.
Two main types of rotor-stator sets are used in orbital hydraulic motors:
Integral rotor-stator set
Pinned rotor-stator set
Each has unique advantages and limitations. Choosing the right one is essential for optimizing a hydraulic pump motor or hydraulic motor pump system.
The integral rotor-stator set is formed via integral casting or precision machining, with fewer components and a compact structure.
Advantages:
High efficiency & stability: Reduced friction surfaces between components minimize mechanical energy loss, improving energy conversion efficiency—critical for hydraulic pump motor systems operating continuously, such as construction machinery drives.
Smooth operation: No assembly gaps from segmented parts mean more uniform force distribution, reducing vibration. Ideal for high speed hydraulic motor applications or precision conveying equipment.
Application example: Premium hydraulic motors from Danfoss (OMS series) and Parker (TE series) frequently use integral rotor-stator sets to meet high-precision and reliability requirements. Tests show efficiency degradation is 5%–8% lower compared to pinned designs under prolonged full-load operation.
Disadvantages:
High maintenance cost: Damaged units require complete replacement—an issue for hydraulic motor pump systems requiring long maintenance intervals.
Higher manufacturing cost: Precision machining and casting demand advanced process control, raising production costs.
The pinned rotor-stator set uses a modular design, with rollers supporting the rotor and stator, allowing individual parts to be replaced.
Advantages:
High wear resistance: Rollers reduce metal-to-metal contact, extending component life—ideal for dusty, high-impact environments such as mining machinery hydraulic motors and pumps systems.
Easy maintenance: Only worn parts are replaced, minimizing downtime. This is valuable in hydraulic pump to motor systems that must quickly resume production.
Self-compensation: Rollers adjust position as they wear, maintaining meshing accuracy and long-term operational stability.
Disadvantages:
Slightly lower efficiency: Extra contact points from rollers increase friction and leakage slightly compared to integral designs.
Limited high-speed reliability: Under high-speed/high-pressure operation (e.g., certain high speed hydraulic motor applications), prolonged full-load running may cause unstable meshing.
| Feature | Integral Rotor-Stator Set | Pinned Rotor-Stator Set |
|---|---|---|
| Efficiency | High | Slightly lower |
| Maintenance cost | High | Low |
| Stability | High | Moderate |
| Wear resistance | Moderate | High |
| Ideal applications | Continuous high-load, high-precision systems | Dusty/high-impact environments needing quick repair |
High-end, high-torque, efficiency-focused models (OMT, OMV) → Integral type for maximum stability.
Small/medium-sized, durability-focused models (OMP, OMR) → Pinned type for faster maintenance—common in agricultural and sanitation equipment.
Example recommendation:
Steel mill roller drives (high-load continuous) → Integral
Woodcutting table drives (frequent start/stop, high shock load) → Pinned
When choosing between rotor-stator sets:
For efficiency and stability → Integral rotor-stator set
For durability and easy maintenance → Pinned rotor-stator set
In designing or upgrading a hydraulic pump motor system:
If your system is a hydraulic motor pump secondary drive in a dusty environment, pinned is often better.
If pairing a pump with a high speed hydraulic motor (hydraulic pump to motor energy transfer), integral delivers smoother operation.
Q1: Which is better for high-pressure applications?
Integral rotor-stator sets, due to their stability and higher efficiency.
Q2: Which type is more cost-effective over time?
Pinned rotor-stator sets, thanks to lower maintenance costs and part replacement flexibility.
Q3: Can I switch from pinned to integral in my current hydraulic motor?
Only if the housing and internal dimensions are compatible—check with the manufacturer.
