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.
-
