NORDBORG, DENMARK — Danfoss Power Solutions today announced the launch of its Vickers by Danfoss ICMB Industrial Cam Lobe Motor. The radial piston hydraulic motor provides ultra-high torque in a compact package. Engineered for maximum efficiency, durability, and reliability, the motor delivers the power and precision required for demanding industrial machinery as well as pulp and paper, primary metals, mining, marine, and forestry applications.
Designed to provide high output torque and low inertia, the ICMB motor is capable of delivering full torque from zero speed. The motors are available in a displacement range of 15,100 to 52,800 cc/rev, delivering torque of 240 to 840 Nm/bar and rated speeds of 21 to 94 rpm, depending on displacement. The motor’s low moment of inertia and high power-to-weight ratio enable superior dynamic performance and help prevent damage in the event of an unexpected slowdown or stop. Its low inertia also enhances dynamic response speed, reduces system pressure shock to improve system stability, increases control accuracy, and lowers energy consumption, especially during startup and shutdown.
The motor’s overall efficiency can reach 95% or higher. This high efficiency results in lower operational costs. Maintenance costs are also reduced, as lower heat extends the life of motor components.
The Vickers by Danfoss ICMB Cam Lobe Motor features a compact design, making it ideal for space-constrained applications. The motor offers flexible installation options, enabling easy integration into a variety of system configurations. The motor can be provided with a hollow shaft to facilitate mounting on a driveshaft via a shrink disc coupling, or with a splined internal bore to facilitate mounting directly on a splined shaft. A through hole provides additional application flexibility. The motor can be torque-arm or flange mounted. Torque-arm mounting eliminates the need for additional couplings, flanges, or bedplates. The torque arm and its attachment aid in motor installation and eliminate the need for alignment bearings.
“Our new ICMB Cam Lobe Motor is the ultimate solution for smooth, dependable performance, delivering consistent, high power in the world’s most challenging hydraulic applications,” said Yuanjin (Stein) Wang, Global Product Management Director, Pumps and Motors, Industrial division, Danfoss Power Solutions. “But our offering goes far beyond the motor itself. By combining the ICMB with Danfoss power units and other components, we can engineer a complete rotary drive system. And with our deep application expertise, we partner with customers throughout development to ensure the entire system is optimized and perfectly tailored to the application.”
The Vickers by Danfoss ICMB Cam Lobe Motor is designed for rotary drive applications, such as winches, drills, conveyors, bucket wheel reclaimers, crushers, shredders, feeders/breakers, kiln drives, and pinch feed rollers. Four motor frame sizes cover the wide displacement range. A fifth frame size, currently in development, will further expand the range.
