Sauer-Danfoss has released its new H1 160cm³ bent axis motor, the next size in a series of motors designed to complement the growing range of H1 axial piston pumps. With the introduction of H1 bent axis motors, Sauer-Danfoss offers a complete H1 transmission system, optimized around electrical control. The H1 motors not only provide OEMs with improvements in reliability and flexibility, but also provide higher overall efficiency, resulting in lower fuel consumption and reduced life cycle costs. Typical applications that will benefit from the new H1 bent axis 160cm³ motor are rough terrain forklifts, combines, sprayers, road rollers, wheel loaders and road building equipment.

H1 bent axis variable displacement motors have been designed to ensure outstanding reliability and high quality. Optimized for electrical control, they are fully PLUS+1 Compliant, enabling seamless integration with Sauer-Danfoss' electronic machine control architecture. To withstand the harshest working environments, the electrical controls are designed with an IP67 and IP69K rating. The H1 160cm³ bent axis motor is an evolution of proven technologies centered on a high displacement ratio of 32 degrees, zero degree capability and higher overall efficiency.
