Hydraulic motors of the type MCR-A are radial piston Torque generation
motors with front case mounting and splined drive shaft.
The MCR-A motors are intended for open or closed circuit
operations as drive motors for the chain drive function
primarily on skid steer loaders. A-type motors can be used
Working Return
for a variety of applications depending on the attachment stroke stroke
that can be mounted on the spline shaft of the motor (e. g.
gear drive, sprocket, chain drive).

Feed Return
Construction
Two part housing (1, 2), rotary group (3, 4, 8), cam (5),
drive shaft (6) and flow distributor (7) The number of working and return strokes corresponds to
the number of lobes on the cam multiplied by number of
Transmission pistons in the cylinder block.
The cylinder block (4) is connected to the shaft (6) by
means of splines. The pistons (3) are arranged radially in Flow paths
the cylinder block (4) and make contact with the cam (5) The ports A and B, which are located in the rear case, carry
via rollers (8). oil through the distributor to the cylinder chambers (E).

Bearings
Tapered roller bearings capable of transmitting high axial
and radial forces are fitted as standard.

Freewheeling
In certain applications there may be a requirement to free-
wheel the motor. This may be achieved by connecting ports
A and B to zero pressure and simultaneously applying a
pressure of 2 bar to the housing through port L. In this
condition, the pistons are forced into the cylinder block
which forces the rollers to lose contact with the cam thus
allowing free rotation of the shaft.
