Spool Valve Motors

Char-Lynn spool valve motors distribute pressurized fluid into and out of the Orbit gear set (Gerotor or Geroler) via valve slots integrated into the output shaft. The spool valve motors incorporate both valving and hydrodynamic journal bearings into a common shaft design. The valve section (spool valve) can be optimized for low flow, low speed needs using a low speed spool option to enhance smooth running performance.

These motors incorporate the proven orbit motor principle to provide high torque at low speeds.

Motor shaft rotation can be instantly reversed by changing direction of input/output flow while generating equal torque in either direction. The displacements available provide a wide variety of speeds and torques from any spool valve motor series.

Motor Selection Guide

Danfoss XLH

Uses Danfoss proven Gerotor motor design and offers a simple, reliable, effective solution for the widest variety of applications. Supported by hydrodynamic bearings, the spool valve design is available with the most popular output shafts, mounts and displacements.

Danfoss XLS

Leveraging the compact size of the XLH, the XLS incorporates Danfoss Geroler technology to further reduce internal friction and provide added longevity for applications needing higher-than-normal performance.
