New motor maximises uptime
Eaton has launched the Hydre-MAC, a low-speed, high-torque (LSHT) direct drive, radial piston motor – featuring a cam lobe design – for variable speed applications that uses less energy to deliver more power when needed.
With ultra low speed performance, the motor is suitable for offshore, marine, metal recovery, mining, pulp & paper and off-highway stationary applications.
Created using a MacTaggart Scott heavy-duty motor design, it increases component life with two inlet and outlet ports reducing pressure drops at high power; by generating less heat overall; and through a symmetrical 18 piston/roller assembly design, which eliminates piston side-loading and reduces wear and tear.
To help customers maximise uptime, the Hydre-MAC motor is a direct drop-in replacement for the industry's most installed motor, reducing switching costs by eliminating the need to replace the machine shaft and torque arm.
Longer component life extends motor life, which not only increases uptime, but reduces the total lifetime cost of ownership. Hydre-MAC's repairable wear surfaces, including shaft seals, wear rings, piston seals and bearing pads, can be replaced on-site by one of Eaton's skilled distribution partners.
