Hydraulic motors type MCR are radial piston motors with a rotating shaft.

Brake mounting
Holding brake (multi-disc brake)

Construction
Two part housing (1: 2), rotor-piston assembly (3: 4), cam (5),
output shaft (6) and control section (7).

9
12

Transmission
The rotor (4) is connected to the shaft (6) by means of splines.
The pistons (3) are arranged radially in the rotor (4) and are
supported on the cam plate (5) by way of rollers (8).

Working stroke Idle stroke

The number of working and idle strokes corresponds to the
number of lobes on the cam.
Open loop control
The cylinder chambers (E) are connected to ports A and B via
the axial bores and the annular passages (D).
Bearings
Tapered roller bearings are capable of absorbing high axial and
radial forces.
Freewheeling
If the two ports A and B are connected with no pressure loading and a pressure of 2 bar simultaneously applied to the housing by way of port "L", the pistons will be forced into the rotary piston assembly. The rollers will no longer be lying against
the cam curve and it will be possible for the end of the shaft to
be rotated freely.
Switching to half displacement
On certain models of radial piston motors halving of
displacement is possible.This means that during the working
stroke only half the pistons are supplied with fluid by way of a
valve in the control system.The remaining pistons are
connected to the outlet side of the motor.When connected
the motor will run at twice the speed but at half torque.
In the switched position please take into account the
preferred direction of rotation!

Dynamic brake (drum brake)

Mounting:
by way of control housing
(2) and through-drive facility.
Brake
ke application
Bra
If the pressure in the annular area (9) fails to reach a
certain pressure the Belleville washer (10) will compress the disc package (11).
Release of holding brake
If the pressure in the
annular area (9) exceeds
the required level, the brake
piston (12) is pushed
against the Belleville
washer. The load is taken
off the multi-disc package
(11) and the holding brake
is released.
The brake may also be
released manually by removing plug (13) and inserting
a screw with a supporting
washer into the hole in the
piston (12).
