Orbital motor features - high efficiency and low energy consumption

2025-06-05

In the field of hydraulics, Orbital motor has become a benchmark for high efficiency and low energy consumption due to its unique design principle and excellent performance.

 

1. High-performance transmission design

(1) Stator-rotor design with inlaid teeth

Orbital motor adopts tooth-set stator-rotor pair (e.g. needle tooth or roller structure), which realizes the efficient conversion of hydraulic pressure energy to mechanical energy through precise meshing. This type of design can reduce the tooth contact stress, reduce friction loss, and improve mechanical efficiency.

(2) Rolling Bearings and Hydrostatic Balance

The torque is transmitted between the piston and crankshaft through rolling bearings (e.g. GM series), which reduces rolling friction losses and improves mechanical efficiency compared to sliding friction. At the same time, the hydrostatic balance design at the bottom of the piston eliminates the lateral force and avoids the energy loss caused by bias grinding.

 

2. Low friction loss

(1) Low starting pressure and high responsiveness

Optimized stator-rotor parameters make the starting pressure as low as 0.5 MPa (e.g. BM5 series), which reduces energy wastage in the no-load stage.

(2) Low speed stability and wide speed range

The Orbital motor can operate smoothly at ultra-low speeds (e.g. BM3 series). No additional speed reducer is required at low speeds, which reduces energy loss in the transmission process and directly drives the load, thus improving the overall energy efficiency of the system.

 

3. Innovations in manufacturing processes

The high efficiency of Orbital motor can not be achieved without the support of precise manufacturing process. CNC machine tools and machining centers are used for high-precision machining to ensure the accuracy of the parts.

Material selection is equally critical. High-strength alloy steel is carburized and quenched to improve wear resistance and fatigue strength. This design allows the motor to maintain efficient operation under heavy load conditions and reduces energy efficiency degradation due to wear and tear.

 

4. Flow channel and flow distribution mechanism

The internal runner structure of Orbital motor has been optimized, adopting end-face flow distribution and axial flow distribution, which has simple and compact structure and high flow distribution precision. This design reduces hydraulic oil leakage and improves system efficiency. Some of the high-end products also have the function of automatic compensation for wear and tear, so that they can still maintain efficient performance in long-term use.

Orbital motor's technological innovation continues to accelerate as the demand for industrial automation and energy saving grows. The introduction of new materials, intelligent control systems and modular design has further enhanced its energy efficiency. For example, in the field of industrial robotics, Orbital motor's high-precision motion control reduces dynamic losses and lowers battery consumption.

 

With its unique design principle and excellent performance, Orbital motor is a model of high efficiency and low energy consumption. Through drive design optimization, manufacturing process innovation, flow channel and flow distribution mechanism improvement, and application scenario adaptation, Orbital motor achieves efficient use of energy and supports the sustainable development of modern industry.
