Danfoss Power Solutions has launched the Vickers by Danfoss ICMB industrial cam lobe motor, a radial piston hydraulic motor designed to deliver ultra-high torque in a compact package for demanding industrial applications.
The ICMB motor is capable of delivering full torque from zero speed and is available in a displacement range of 15,100 to 52,800cc/rev, delivering torque of 240 to 840Nm/bar and rated speeds of 21 to 94rpm depending on displacement. The motor’s low moment of inertia and high power-to-weight ratio enable superior dynamic performance and help prevent damage in the event of an unexpected slowdown or stop. Its low inertia also enhances dynamic response speed, reduces system pressure shock to improve system stability, increases control accuracy, and lowers energy consumption, particularly during startup and shutdown.
Overall efficiency can reach 95% or higher, resulting in lower operational costs. Reduced heat also extends the life of motor components, lowering maintenance costs.
The motor offers flexible installation options, enabling integration into a variety of system configurations. It can be provided with a hollow shaft to facilitate mounting on a driveshaft via a shrink disc coupling, or with a splined internal bore to facilitate mounting directly on a splined shaft. A through hole provides additional application flexibility. The motor can be torque-arm or flange mounted; torque-arm mounting eliminates the need for additional couplings, flanges, or bedplates.
Four motor frame sizes cover the wide displacement range, with a fifth currently in development. Target applications include winches, drills, conveyors, bucket wheel reclaimers, crushers, shredders, feeders/breakers, kiln drives, and pinch feed rollers, spanning sectors including pulp and paper, primary metals, mining, marine, and forestry.
“Our new ICMB cam lobe motor is the ultimate solution for smooth, dependable performance, delivering consistent, high power in the world’s most challenging hydraulic applications,” says Yuanjin (Stein) Wang, global product management director, pumps and motors, industrial division, Danfoss Power Solutions. “But our offering goes far beyond the motor itself. By combining the ICMB with Danfoss power units and other components, we can engineer a complete rotary drive system. And with our deep application expertise, we partner with customers throughout development to ensure the entire system is optimised and perfectly tailored to the application.”
