BD Series          

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS AND FEATURES
The B series five cylinder crankshaft design radial piston hydraulic motor utilises many of the proven components from the GM series motors, well known for their high performance and reliability. The innovative design of the new sliding central bearing arrangement, made possible by the latest materials and manufacturing techniques increases the range of possible options in SAI hydraulic motors. These include the possibility to change displacement, fit taper roller barings for axial load capability, have a hollow through shaft option, and fit a counterbalance weight to smooth out high speed vibration. It’s also possible to accept higher radial loading of the motor shaft due to a larger cross section giving extra strenght.

CHANGE OF DISPLACEMENT
Change of motor displacement in the BD series is achieved by changing the stroke of the crankshaft : min.20 bar - max- 30 bar. The change This can 0be achieved by a low pressure external pilot signal and changes from high to low displacement and vice versa can take place both dynamically, with a smooth speed variation, and statically.The BD series motors can be freewheeled in full cavitation.

DESIGN AND OPERATION
The sliding bearing has an extremely low coefficient of friction and as a consequence gives very high starting torque efficiency, and continues to achieve higher then average mechanical efficiencies both in high and low displacement modes. At present, the maximum running speed is restricted to the flow which can pass through distributor which is fitted to this series of motors.

STARTING AND LOW SPEED TORQUE
The motors are capable of working at low speeds with a high degree of speed stability. The minimum stable speed depends on the displacement of the motor. Output torque remains very constant and does not fall away at very low speeds or under stall or start conditions.
