Motor maximises uptime
15 October 2014
New from Eaton, Hydre-MAC is a low-speed, high torque (LSHT) direct drive, radial piston motor – featuring a cam lobe design – for variable speed applications that uses less energy to deliver more power when needed.

The Hydre-MAC motor, created using a MacTaggart Scott heavy-duty motor design, combines MacTaggart Scott’s motor expertise with Eaton’s extensive industry knowledge, particularly in oil and gas, mining and manufacturing applications.
The motor increases component life with two inlet and outlet ports reducing pressure drops at high power; by generating less heat overall; and through a symmetrical 18 piston/roller assembly design, which eliminates piston side-loading and reduces wear and tear.
