Danfoss Power Solutions (NORDBORG, DENMARK) introduced the Thorx CLM 12 T cam lobe motor, designed for use in construction machinery with rubber track drives, such as compact track loaders. The motor expands the Thorx lineup alongside the CLM 8 S and CLM 4 S motors for skid steer loaders.

The CLM 12 T motor is intended to simplify machine integration and extend motor and bearing life while providing improved two-speed and parking brake functionality for rubber track drive machinery.

Features & Benefits:

  • Symmetric design enables better space utilization and installation.

  • Rotating flange located at the motor center reduces rear space claim.

  • Rotary group includes 12 pistons and 9 lobes to reduce contact stress and increase motor life.

  • Taper roller bearings near the rotating flange minimize bending load and extend bearing life.

  • Bearings lubricated by flushed motor oil to maintain cleanliness.

  • Two-speed technology reduces shock at speed changeover by 70%.

  • Maintains consistent, quick response time even at low temperatures.

  • Integral parking brake with compact design provides emergency braking.

  • Parking brake designed for at least 100 dynamic stops.

  • Duo cone shaft seal prevents dirt ingress and provides wear and corrosion protection.

  • Shaft seal lubrication can be serviced externally without sprocket removal.
