Orbit motors are compact hydraulic motors with relatively low speed and high torque. At low speeds, they are therefore extremely powerful. An orbital motor converts hydraulic energy (pressure, oil flow) into mechanical energy (torque and speed). With a very high efficiency over the entire lifetime of the product, meaning that you save energy and money with an orbit motor. Suitable for closed and open loop hydraulic circuits.

Understanding an Orbit Motor
Orbit motors, also known as hydraulic orbital motors, are essential components in hydraulic systems, particularly in applications requiring rotational motion. These motors utilize the principle of orbiting gerotor/geroller mechanisms to convert hydraulic energy into mechanical motion. Orbit motors find extensive use in various industries, including agriculture, construction, forestry, and manufacturing, where reliable and efficient power transmission is crucial.
Types of Orbit Motors: OMR and OMRX
Danfoss and White Drive are manufacturer of hydraulic components, including orbit motors. One of their popular offerings is the OMR motor, known for its robust construction, high efficiency, and precise control capabilities. The OMR motor features a compact design and offers a wide range of displacement options to suit various application requirements.
In addition to the OMR series, Danfoss also produces the OMRX motor, an advanced variation with innovative design enhancements for improved performance and durability. The OMRX motor incorporates reinforced shafts, bearings, and seals to withstand higher loads and operating pressures, making it suitable for demanding applications in harsh environments.

How to Use an Orbit Motor
Orbit motors are typically used in applications requiring rotational motion, such as driving wheels in vehicles and machinery, powering winch systems, operating conveyor belts, and driving agricultural equipment. To use an orbit motor, it must be connected to a hydraulic system that supplies pressurized fluid. The speed and direction of rotation of the motor can be controlled by adjusting the flow and pressure of the hydraulic fluid.
How a Hydraulic Motor Works
A hydraulic motor, including an orbit motor, operates by utilizing the interaction between internal gears and rollers to create rotational motion. Hydraulic fluid enters the motor's housing, causing the gears to orbit around the fixed center, which drives the output shaft. The rotation speed and direction can be controlled by adjusting the flow and pressure of the hydraulic fluid entering the motor.
In conclusion, an orbit motor is a type of hydraulic motor used to convert hydraulic energy into mechanical motion, particularly rotational motion. Danfoss and White Drive are leading manufacturers of orbit motors, offering options such as the OMR and OMRX series known for their reliability, efficiency, and precision control. Orbit motors find wide application in various industries and can be used to power a range of equipment and machinery requiring rotational motion.
