CUSTOM HYDRAULIC GEAR MOTORS:

Pictured is Tuson’s first fully assembled custom hydraulic gear motor. Initially, we produced only the major components within the motor for our customer. However, later we offered the customer a cost reduction and work simplification by fabricating, assembling, and testing the complete motor ourselves. This solution provided our customer with the advantages of fewer part numbers, improved logistics, and decreased inventory. It also provided them with a complete “out of the box” solution at final point of use (machine assembly).

We worked very closely with our customer to successfully complete this project. This 12 cc (.73 cubic inch) displacement external gear motor operates a fan drive on construction machinery. The motor body is made from grey cast iron. It is assembled using several precision-machined components and other parts.

The biggest challenge we encountered during this project was machining the necessary components for sealing purposes. During the early project phases, we encountered some unexpected flow issues. However, close collaboration between our engineers and the customer helped us to arrive at innovative solutions.

Testing was required because the motor “break-in” to maximum working pressure is also the unit’s final machining process. This required us to design and fabricate a custom hydraulic test stand. Again, we worked closely together with our customer. We needed to ensure our test stand was capable of producing all necessary conditions to complete break-in, and evaluate final unit performance. It also needed to provide information feedback throughout those processes.

This project clearly demonstrates the type of “turn-key” manufacturing solutions Tuson can provide to its OEM customers. Whether your needs are hydraulic pumps, motors, valves, or systems, Tuson stands ready to be of service.
