Hydraulic Motors

Axial Piston Motors

Axial piston motors use pistons arranged in a straight line (axially) along the drive shaft. As the swash plate or bent-axis design moves, the pistons push hydraulic fluid to create rotation. This layout gives excellent efficiency, fast response and strong performance across a wide speed range.

These motors handle high pressures well and maintain consistent torque even when workloads change. Because they run smoothly and stay efficient during long operating hours, they suit machines that need both durability and precision.

Best for:

  • Mobile equipment

  • Industrial machinery

  • Vehicles and drives that need variable speed

  • Systems where efficiency and control matter

Why choose them:
Axial piston motors offer great efficiency, wide speed capability and reliable operation under high pressure. They are a strong choice when you want smooth control, long service life and efficient power delivery.

Radial Piston Motors

Radial piston motors use pistons arranged in a circle around the drive shaft. As hydraulic pressure pushes each piston outward, the motor produces very high torque at low speeds. Because of this design, they handle extreme loads and maintain smooth, controlled rotation even under heavy stress.

They also cope well with shock loads and can run for long periods without overheating. This makes them one of the strongest motor types available.

Best for:

  • Heavy-duty industrial machinery

  • Mining and drilling equipment

  • Winches and hoists

  • Machines that need very high torque at low speed

Why choose them:
Radial piston motors deliver exceptional starting torque, strong performance at low rpm and great reliability under pressure. They are ideal when you need powerful, consistent rotation in demanding conditions.

Geroler Motors

Geroler motors are a refinement of the traditional geroter design. They add rollers between the rotor and the housing, which reduces friction and improves smoothness. This gives better low-speed control, higher efficiency and longer life.

Best for:

  • Sweepers

  • Winches

  • Skid steer attachments

  • Machines that need precise low-speed performance

Why choose them:
They provide low friction, high torque at low speed and excellent longevity. They are often chosen when smoothness and durability are priorities.

Geroter Motors

Geroter motors use a star-shaped inner rotor and an outer ring to create displacement. They are simple, compact and effective in many mobile applications. While they aren’t as efficient as geroler motors, they still deliver solid performance and good value.

Best for:

  • Light-duty machinery

  • Agricultural attachments

  • Systems with moderate pressure and flow

Why choose them:
Geroter motors are versatile, cost-effective and suitable for many medium-load applications.

Disc Valve Motors

Disc valve motors (also called orbital motors) use a rotating valve system to manage fluid flow. This design supports very high starting torque and smooth low-speed operation. They also cope with shock loads, which makes them ideal for tough tasks.

Best for:

  • Winches

  • Conveyors

  • Sweepers and mowers

  • Mobile equipment attachments

Why choose them:
They give strong starting torque, stable low-speed performance and reliable operation under load. Disc valve motors are a great “all-rounder” for many hydraulic systems.

Gear Motors

Gear motors use two interlocking gears to push fluid through the housing and create rotation. They are simple, compact and cost-effective. Although they don’t offer the efficiency of piston motors, they perform very well in medium-duty applications.

Best for:

  • Agricultural machinery

  • Industrial equipment

  • Light to medium-duty attachments

Why choose them:
Gear motors are affordable, easy to maintain and ideal for systems where simplicity and reliability matter.
