A Gerotor motor (also known as an Orbital motor) is a type of hydraulic motor that uses a unique gear mechanism to convert hydraulic energy into mechanical rotational energy. It's characterized by its high torque output at low speeds, making it ideal for various heavy-duty applications.
Key Components
Rotor A star-shaped inner gear.
Stator A gear with an internal tooth form that matches the rotor.
How it Works
Hydraulic fluid input High-pressure hydraulic fluid enters the motor.
Fluid distribution The fluid is distributed around the rotor and stator.
Rotor rotation The pressure of the fluid forces the rotor to orbit within the stator.
Torque generation As the rotor orbits, it generates torque, which is transmitted to the output shaft.
Fluid output The used hydraulic fluid exits the motor.
