Safety Instructions
The following instructions apply to all procedures associated with the motor. Read
these instructions carefully and follow them closely.
Use necessary personal protective equipment when working with the motor.
Support the motor properly. Make sure the motor cannot fall over or turn around
by accident.
Use only appropriate equipment and attachments for lifting and transferring the
motor.
Do not use magnetic lifting devices.
Always use the lifting equipment properly and check the load-bearing capacity.
Prevent unintended use of the motor during installation and maintenance
procedures by preventing pressurization of the hydraulic lines.
The operating temperature of the motor may be over 60 ºC (140 °F), which is hot
enough to cause severe burns. Beware of hot hydraulic uid when disconnecting
the hydraulic connections.

Motor Description
Working principle
B200 series motors are rotary-housing. This means the motor shaft and the cylinder
block remain in place while the motor is running.
Figure 2. The main components of the motor.
1. Shaft
2. Distribution valve
3. Cylinder block
4. Piston
5. Cam roll
6. Cam ring
7. Bearings
8. Housing
9. Hub
10. Shaft sealing
The rotation of the motor is achieved by feeding pressurized hydraulic uid through
the motor shaft to the distribution valve. The distribution valve directs the ow to
the pistons which are on a power stroke. Pressure pushes the pistons and cam
rolls outwards against the cam ring on the housing. The waveform of the cam ring
transforms the force into torque. When the pistons reach the end of the power stroke,
the distribution valve closes the ow to the pistons and switches the pistons to a
return stroke. The cam ring pushes the pistons back into the cylinder block preparing
them for the next power stroke.

tons.

AAAA - BBBB - 2NLxx / D
The 2-speed valve enables change of displacement during operation. The benet
of this function is a more extensive speed range with the same hydraulic system
capacity. The motors are also known as 2-speed motors.
Figure 17. 2-speed motor.
Figure 18. Hydraulic circuit, 2-speed motor.
The change of displacement works by switching the piston to idle on every second
stroke. This is done with the in-built 2-speed valve, which changes the uid
circulation in the motor.
USING THE 2-SPEED VALVE
Using the 2-speed valve works in the same manner as gear shifting.
SHIFTING TO HALF DISPLACEMENT
The motor is switched to half displacement by applying the pilot pressure (see
4.5.2 Pilot pressure) to the pilot line (Y).
When the motor operates at half displacement, it rotates twice as fast and
generates half of the torque when compared to a motor on full displacement with
the same ow rate and pressure.
The working pressure should be primarily applied into the working line A. The
motor operates at lower eciency and the operating temperature may rise if
working pressure is applied into the working line B.
SHIFTING TO FULL DISPLACEMENT
The motor is switched back to full displacement by releasing the pressure in the
pilot line (Y).
When the motor operates at full displacement, it works like the 1-speed motor and
it may be operated normally on both directions.
Attention:
Take the following things into consideration, when changing the speed
range during motion.
Hydraulic system supply must adjust to the rapid change of owrate.
Motor Description
22 Product Manual
The rapid change in ow rate may cause momentary jerk. This may be
avoided by throttling the working lines lightly.
Prevent operating conditions, in which the permissible performance
values could be exceeded.
The permissible performance values are in the technical data (see 3.3
Technical data).
Attention:
Continuous use of high working pressure in the working line B at half
displacement may cause premature wear or failure of the motor.
Freewheeling valve in: FW11x / FW21x
AAAA - BBBB - FW11x / D
AAAA - BBBB - FW21x / D
The freewheeling valve is used for disengaging the motor during motion (see 3.5
Rotating direction). The freewheeling valve of the motor is an alternative for the
external freewheeling valve (see 4.3 External freewheeling valve).
The freewheeling valve connects the working lines to the case drain line inside
the motor. In this way the motor can be disengaged and engaged as smoothly as
possible.
Figure 19. A motor with freewheeling valve.
Figure 20. Hydraulic circuit, a motor with
internal freewheeling valve.
FREEWHEELING VALVE TYPE
Please note that the images below also show the crossover position of the valve.
FW11x = VALVE TYPE 1
The working lines (A and B) of the motor are open (in short circuit), when the
motor is disengaged.
3.8
Motor Description
Product Manual 23
FW21x = VALVE TYPE 2
The working lines (A and B) of the motor are closed (plugged), when the motor is
disengaged.
Note:
The crossover position of the freewheeling valve momentarily connects
the working lines together inside the motor. This improves disengaging
and engaging of the motor, when compared to the external freewheeling
valve.
USING THE FREEWHEELING VALVE
The freewheeling valve (3) is controlled with the pilot line (F) pressure.
ENGAGING THE MOTOR
Engage the motor by applying the pilot pressure to the pilot line (F).
When the motor is engaged, it works like the 1-speed motor.
DISENGAGING THE MOTOR
Disengage the motor by releasing the pressure in the pilot line (F).
The orice (4) in the pilot line (F) dampens the case pressure peaks, if pilot pressure is
higher than recommended (see 4.5.2 Pilot pressure).
Freewheeling
The hydrostatic freewheeling is a standard feature in the B200 series motors.
The mechanical freewheeling is an option in the B200 series motors.
Black Bruin motors can be freewheeled without energy loss or overheating problems
(stationary cylinder block - no centrifugal forces), even at high speeds. The motors
can be re-engaged or disengaged during movement.
Hydrostatic freewheeling
Hydrostatic freewheeling requires a drain line check valve with 0.5 bar (8 psi) opening
pressure and active feed between the check valve and the drain port of the motor.
A check valve in the drain line regulates the pressure in the case. To limit the pressure
spikes in the case, the drain line and its check valve have to be sized to correspond
with the maximum ow rate at the time of engagement.
In order to create the freewheeling pressure into the case, uid must be supplied to
case drain line C between the motor and the check valve.
3.9
3.9.1
Motor Description
24 Product Manual
Mechanical freewheeling
Figure 21. A piston with the freewheeling spring.
The motor is equipped with mechanical freewheeling springs, which enable the motor
disengagement. When disengaged the motor may be used without active uid supply
from the hydraulic system.
USING THE FREEWHEELING
When the motor is depressurized and not rotating, the motor will disengage
automatically. The motor disengagement during motion is done with a freewheeling
valve.
The freewheeling valve may be in-built to the motor (see 3.8 Freewheeling valve in:
FW11x / FW21x ) or a separate external valve (see 4.3 External freewheeling valve),
which connects the working lines (A and B) and the case drain line (C) together. The
purpose of the valve is to remove pressure dierence over the motor pistons. This
allows the pistons to retract with aid of mechanical springs.
DISENGAGING THE MOTOR
Open the freewheeling valve and depressurize the motor with the directional
control valve to disengage the motor.
ENGAGING THE MOTOR
Close the freewheeling valve and pressurize the motor with the directional control
valve to engage the motor.
The directional control valve and the freewheeling valve are usually activated
simultaneously.
Note:
Another use of the freewheeling is a more extensive speed range for
vehicles having several hydraulic motors. Hydraulic system capacity
may be divided between fewer motors, when some of the motors are
disengaged.
Attention:
Any pressure in the working lines (A and B) during the freewheeling
pushes the pistons out of the freewheeling position. This causes a
clattering noise when the pistons hit the cam ring.
Constant clattering of the pistons may cause premature wear or failure of
the motor.
3.9.2
Motor Description
Product Manual 25
ROTATING SPEED
The rotating speed of the motor should be taken into account when implementing
freewheeling.
FREEWHEELING SPEED
The freewheeling speed is the highest permissible rotating speed of the motor
during freewheeling.
ENGAGING SPEED
The engaging speed is the highest permissible rotating speed when engaging the
motor.
The permissible freewheeling and engaging speeds can be found on the technical
data (see 3.3 Technical data).
DISENGAGING DELAY
While the pistons are retracting, there is a momentary ow of hydraulic uid from
the working lines to the casing of the motor. This causes always a small delay when
disengaging the motor. Normal delay is about 1 - 2 seconds.
To minimize the disengaging delay the hydraulic uid should have as open channel as
possible:
The external freewheeling valve should be positioned as close to the motor as
possible.
All components and lines, which connect the working lines to the case drain line,
should be sized for highest feasible ow rate.
Attention:
Without freewheeling valve, the delay is considerably longer as the uid
must seep through the motor. Disengaging the motor during motion
without a freewheeling valve may cause premature wear or failure of the
motor.
Speed sensor
The speed sensor of the B200 series motors has directional detection and dierent
pulse rates for each frame. Refer to table below for the pulse rates. You can nd the
technical data of the sensor below also. Speed sensor option contains the pulse ring
and the speed sensor. Speed sensor readiness option has the pulse ring without the
sensor. You can install the speed sensor afterwards.
In motors without drum brake the speed sensor protrudes out from the shaft ange,
and it is needed to take account in the counter surface design. Dimensions can be
found from the motor’s datasheet.

Seal protector
The seal protector provides protection for the motor’s seal against outside impurities.
In dirty environment lubricant is needed to add regularly.
Lubricate the seal protector as part of the vehicle lubrication routine.
Observe lubrication adequacy during use and increase or decrease lubrication as
needed. In clean and dry environment there is no need to add lubrication.
Add lubricant from both nipples during operation. Add lubricant when the motor is
warm.
The lubricant pocket is lled with NLGI-1 lubricant (e.g. Microlube GL 261). Use only
compatible lubricants. The lubricant is mineral oil-based grease which is precipitated
with lithium-soap.

datasheet.
Note:
The lubrication eciency can be improved by replacing the relief valve
with a plug (size G1/8"), when the lubricant is starting to drain between
the seal protector and the shaft.
USING THE SEAL PROTECTOR
The seal protector provides the best protection for the motor when lubricant is added
on a regular basis.
Add lubricant from both nipples during operation. It is recommended to add
lubricant when the motor is warm.
Lubricate the seal protector as part of the vehicle lubrication routine.
Observe lubrication adequacy during use and increase or decrease lubrication as
needed.
The lubricant pocket is lled with Microlube GL 261 lubricant or equivalent. Use only
compatible lubricants. The lubricant is mineral oil-based grease which is precipitated
with lithium-soap.
Note:
Some of the lubricant ows past the dirt seal during use. Make sure that
the lubricant does not risk e.g. a disc or a drum brake. If necessary,
the lubricant pocket of the motor can be left empty. (see 1.4 Product

Motor hydraulic circuit
Simple connection
Figure 27. A simple motor hydraulic circuit in an open loop hydraulic system.
In an open loop hydraulic system the hydraulic circuit of the motor is usually
implemented roughly as in the gure above.
Select the operating direction with the directional control valve (1) by applying the
working pressure (P) to the other working line (A or B).
The minimum pressure (see 4.5.3 Working line pressure) required in the return line
(T) is created with the cracking pressure of the check valve (2).
The case drain line port (C) is connected to the system reservoir (T0) as directly as
possible.
Attention:
The case drain line of the motor must always be connected to a reservoir,
even during freewheeling. The case pressure of the motor may rise
signicantly, if the motor is completely plugged during use.
Note:
Using the motor on a closed loop hydraulic system is dierent from
the open loop system. The closed loop system is more complex, but
enables more functions, such as hydrostatic braking, series connection
and counter pressure operation.
Motors in parallel or series circuit
The traction of a vehicle may be increased by connecting multiple motors in parallel
or in series.
A single powered wheel may transmit only a certain amount of power to traction.
By dividing the power to multiple wheels, the vehicle gets more traction. This is
advantageous especially in slippery operating conditions.

PARALLEL CIRCUIT
Figure 28. Two motors in parallel circuit.
Two motors in parallel circuit generate double torque and run half slower than one
motor with the same ow rate and pressure.
Note:
The ow distribution of the motors must be ensured, if the operating
conditions are very slippery or if some of the powered wheels carry much
smaller load. The system prefers to rotate only the motor, which has the
least resistance.
The ow distribution may be done by sizing the working lines to a certain
ow rate or by throttling them slightly.
Ordinary ow divider valve can not be used in most cases, because
its resistance of ow increases too much as the speed of the vehicle
increases.
The ow distribution is usually required only when starting to move the
vehicle. A reliable solution is a ow divider valve, which can be bypassed
or switched on when necessary.
Figure 29. A pilot controlled ow divider valve.
SERIES CIRCUIT
Figure 30. Two motors in series circuit.
Two motors in series circuit generate same torque and rotate as fast as one motor
with the same ow rate and pressure.
Attention:
The minimum pressure and a sucient feed ow must be ensured for all
motors.
The use of series circuit is challenging and therefore is not recommended.
System Design
Product Manual 35
Counter pressure operation
Counter pressure operation is needed mainly in series connection (see 4.1.2 Motors
in parallel or series circuit). Counter pressure operation means using the motor with
high back pressure in the return line.
The counter pressure operation aects the torque output of the motor due to
decreased pressure dierence over the working lines.
Attention:
Make sure the combined pressure in the working lines does not exceed
the permissible values of the working pressure during counter pressure
operation.
Counter pressure operation is not recommended, because high back
pressure stresses the motor more than usual operation.
Hydrostatic braking
Hydrostatic braking means using the output torque of the motor to decelerate the
speed. The output torque is generated by closing the return line of the motor, in
which case a working pressure will form in the return line. The minimum pressure and
feed ow must be maintained in the feed line of the motor during hydrostatic braking.
Note:
The hydrostatic braking requires an active hydraulic uid supply.
Danger:
Do not use the hydrostatic braking without relief valves in the working
lines. When an external load is rotating the motor, the hydraulic pressure
may increase indenitely. This leads to danger if a hydraulic hose or
component brakes under high pressure.
Short circuit operation
Short circuit operation means connecting the return
ow of the motor directly to the
feed line of the motor.
Short circuit operation is needed, if the motor must be rotated faster than the
hydraulic system can supply and freewheeling the motor is not possible (see 3.9.2
Mechanical freewheeling).
Make sure the minimum pressure is maintained in both working lines of the motor
during short circuit operation.
Note:
The short circuit operation requires an active hydraulic uid supply.
Attention:
Make sure the motor does not overheat during short circuit operation.

WORKING LINE PORTS (A and B)
The working lines, aka the feed and return lines of the motor are the high pressure
lines meant for running the motor.
CASE DRAIN LINE PORT (C)
The case drain line is the return line from the housing cavity.
PILOT LINE PORT (F or Y)
The pilot line is meant for controlling the 2-speed or freewheeling valve of the
motor (see 3.7 2-speed valve : 2NRxx / 2NLxx and 3.8 Freewheeling valve in:
FW11x / FW21x ).
External freewheeling valve
The external freewheeling valve is used for disengaging the motor during motion (see
3.9.2 Mechanical freewheeling).
The freewheeling valve should be normally open, so that the motor will disengage
when the control system is o.
When the motor is disengaged the case drain port (C) should be connected as directly
as possible to the working line ports A and B.
There are multiple possibilities for the external freewheeling valve. Some examples of
these possibilities are described in this chapter.

2/2 VALVE
When the motor is disengaged using the
2/2 valve (6a), the directional control valve
(1) should have “Y” spool mid position.
Use of the 2/2 valve may be optimized by
switching the freewheeling valve (6a) just
before (max. 0,5 s) the directional control
valve (1). This reduces the pressure in the
return line and minimizes the disengaging
delay.
Figure 33. Freewheeling circuit with a 2/2
valve.
4/2 VALVE
Using the 4/2 valve (6b) may be neces-
sary, if the size of the directional control
valve (1) limits the disengaging delay.
Use of the 4/2 valve may be optimized
by switching the directional control valve
(1) just before (max. 0,5 s) the freewheel-
ing valve (6b). This prevents case pressure
peak caused by working pressure.

6/2 VALVE
With the 6/2 valve (6c), the motor may be
disengaged using only the freewheeling

The 6/2 valve is reliable as the external

Hydraulic uid
Hydraulic uid type
Black Bruin hydraulic motors are designed to work with hydraulic uids based on
mineral oil. Consider the following requirements when choosing hydraulic uid:
Hydraulic oils in accordance with ISO 6743-4 are recommended to be used.
Motor oils in accordance with API-grades SF, SG, SH and SL may also be used.
Fire resistant hydraulic uids HFB and HFC or similar may be used under certain
circumstances.
Hydraulic uid properties
Requirements concerning the hydraulic uid properties:
The recommended uid viscosity range for constant use is 25 - 50 cSt.
The minimum permissible intermittent viscosity is 15 cSt.
The maximum permissible viscosity during motor startup is 1000 cSt.
The viscosity index must be at least 100.
The water content of hydraulic oil should be less than 500 ppm (0,05 %).
The hydraulic uid must reach score 10 on a wear protection test FZG A/8,3/90 in
accordance with ISO 14635-1 (DIN 51354)
The eect of the additives improving the viscosity index can decrease during
operation.
Note:
Temperature has a signicant eect on the viscosity and the lubricating
capability of the hydraulic uid. Take into consideration the real operating
temperature when dening the uid viscosity.
The need for service and the overall service life may be improved by
using hydraulic uids with higher viscosity. In addition higher viscosity
may improve the running smoothness.
Hydraulic uid cleanliness
Hydraulic
uid must fulll cleanliness level 18/16/13 in accordance with ISO 4406
(NAS 1638 grade 7).
Note:
The purity of the hydraulic uid has a signicant eect on the need for
service and the overall service life of the motor.
Operating pressures
Case pressure
The case pressure of the motor aects the lifetime of the sealing. It is recommended
to maintain as low case pressure as possible.
When the motor is running, the permissible average case pressure is 2 bar and the
highest permissible intermittent case pressure is 10 bar.
When the motor is not running, the highest permissible constant case pressure is 10
bar.

Attention:
Running the motor with higher than allowed case pressure shortens the
service life of the motor.
Note:
The lifetime of the sealing may be improved with an accumulator, which
cuts the pressure peaks that are higher than the pre-charge pressure of
the accumulator.
Recommended pre-charge pressure is 2 bar and the displacement should
be about 25 % of the motor displacement. The accumulator should be

The pilot pressure is used to engage the 2-speed or freewheeling valve of the motor.
The recommended pilot pressure is 15 to 30 bar and the maximum allowed pilot
pressure is 350 bar.
Attention:
Over 30 bar pilot pressure causes case pressure peaks. This eect should
be minimized with an orice in the pilot line. Recommended orice size is 1
mm.
Working line pressure
WORKING PRESSURE
The working pressure is the high pressure that generates the output torque of the
motor. The following values for the working pressure are in the technical data (see 3.3
Technical data):
PEAK PRESSURE
The value of the peak pressure is the maximum allowed value of the working
pressure. Make sure the working pressure does not exceed this value under any
circumstances.
INTERMITTENT PRESSURE
The value of the intermittent pressure is a permissible value of the working
pressure for a reference period of one minute (1 min). The working pressure may
exceed this value for 10 % of the time during the reference period (for 6 seconds).
MINIMUM PRESSURE
The minimum pressure is a low pressure required in the working lines, which ensures
the motor stays engaged when running. The motor is engaged when the pistons of
the motor stay constantly connected to the cam ring.
The minimum pressure is maintained with back pressure or charge pressure. Type of
the hydraulic system aects the implementation.

BACK PRESSURE
In open loop hydraulic system the minimum pressure may be done with back
pressure. The back pressure is usually generated by a suitable check valve with
cracking pressure.
CHARGE PRESSURE
In closed loop hydraulic system the charge pressure is usually used as the
minimum pressure.
In open loop hydraulic system the charge pressure may be done by a suitable
pressure reducing valve.
The required minimum pressure depends mainly on the ow rate in the working lines.
Recommended values for the minimum pressure are on the following gures:

Attention:
Too low pressure in the working lines causes the pistons to disconnect
from the cam ring when the motor is running. The eect of this is a
clattering noise when the pistons hit the cam ring again.

Installation Instructions
Mounting the motor
The installation dimensions and tightening torques are given in the product
datasheet.
Check the following things before installing the motor:
The counter surfaces must be clean and even.
Make sure that the strength class (grade) of the fastening screws is sucient.
Make sure that the fastening screws are of suitable size and length.
The fastening screws should be cleaned and oiled lightly before installing them.
Use threadlocker only if necessary, removing the old threadlocker may be dicult.
Remove any old threadlocker before mounting the motor.
Note:
When replacing fastening screws with new ones, renew all of the screws.
Attention:
When using stud bolts, do not tighten the bolt. Tightening of the stud bolt
is done with the nut.
Figure 60. Stud bolt variants.
Flushing the hydraulic system
Prior to connecting the motor as part of the hydraulic system, the hydraulic circuit
of the motor must always be ushed by circulating hydraulic uid through a lter
installed in place of the motor.
The ushing is carried out by circulating hydraulic uid through the entire system
with a minimum pressure for at least an hour.
After ushing, renew all lters.
Note:
Flushing the hydraulic system should also be performed after every
system modication or repair.
Air bleeding procedure
Air bleeding procedure is carried out to ll the housing of the motor completely with
hydraulic uid. Air is removed from the housing with air bleeding screws as follows:
Locate the air bleeding screws of the housing and turn the motor to a position in
which the screw is at its topmost position.
Make sure the drain line of the motor is connected.

Installation Instructions
Product Manual 55
Feed hydraulic uid into the motor with low pressure throughout the procedure.
Unscrew the air bleeding screw by half a turn and let air escape from the housing.
Close the screw when only hydraulic uid is pouring through it.
Tighten the screw to a torque of 39 ± 3 Nm.
The location of the air bleed screws is given in the product datasheet.
Note:
If feed pressure is not available, ll the housing manually by pouring
hydraulic uid in the motor through the topmost opening of the housing.
Commissioning procedure
Ensure that the following things are in order before starting a new or replaced motor:
The hydraulic circuit of the motor is ushed.
Motor is installed appropriately.
Air bleeding procedure is carried out.
The reservoir of the hydraulic system is full.
During the initial stages of use, also take the following things into consideration:
Do not run the motor immediately with full power. Increase the load and speed of
rotation gradually.
Observe the motor and the hydraulic system for external leaks or abnormal noises
during the commissioning procedure.
Start the motor break-in.
Note:
During all installation and service procedures, plug any open ports and
hoses.
When lling the reservoir, add hydraulic uid through a lter.
Attention:
Do not start the motor, if the air bleeding procedure has not been carried
out.
Stressing an unused motor with full power may cause premature wear or
failure of the motor.

Operating Instructions
Break-in period
The motor achieves its nal properties during the rst hours of use. Therefore all new
and reconditioned motors should go through an initial break-in period.
Things to be considered during break-in period:
The break-in period should last for at least rst eight hours (8 h) of use.
The power output should remain under 50 % of the maximum power capacity of
the motor.
The power output is limited by limiting the working pressure, the speed of rotation
or both.
The working pressure should be limited so, that pressure peaks which last over
two seconds (2 s) remain under 75 % of the permissible values.
Note:
During the break-in period, the moving parts of the motor wear against
each other so, that the wear of the parts sets to a stable state for the
entire service life of the motor.
Use
Things to be considered during use of motors:
Check the screw connections tightening torque and hydraulic connections
regularly.
Do not use pressure cleaning directly between the shaft ange and housing of the
motor (the shaft seal area).
Avoid situations in which the motors are completely submerged in water or mud.
Operating temperature
The operating temperature means the internal temperature of the motor. Take into
considerations the following requirements for the operating temperature:
For improved service life, avoid over 70 °C (158 °F) operating temperature.
The highest permissible intermittent operating temperature is 85 °C (185 °F).
The lowest permissible operating temperature is -35 °C (-31 °F).
The temperature dierence between the motor and the hydraulic uid should be
under 60 °C (140 °F).
The operating temperature may be measured from the hydraulic uid returning from
the motor. Take into account the temperature of hydraulic uid returning from the
drain line and from the return line (A or B).
Demounting the motor
Take into consideration the following things when demounting the motor for service
or replacement:
Release the pressure in the hydraulic lines and let the motor cool down.
Disconnect all the hydraulic lines from the motor and plug all openings and hoses.
Demount the motor and lift it away from its position.

Special Instructions
Storing the motor
During short term storage of the motor, the following should be taken into
consideration:
Cover any pressure openings and open threaded holes with suitable caps.
Protect the unpainted surfaces from dirt and moisture.
Store the motor in a dry place with relatively stable temperature.
The motor should not be stored in a same place as substances with aggressive
corrosive nature (solvents, acids, alkalis and salts).
The motor should not be exposed to strong magnetic elds.
The motor should not be exposed to strong vibration.
Note:
For long-term storage (over 9 months) the following additional actions are
recommended:
Damages to surface paint must be repaired.
Protect the unpainted surfaces with suitable anti-corrosion treatment.
Fill the motor completely with hydraulic uid.
If these instructions are followed, the motor may be stored for
approximately two years. However, as storage conditions do have a
signicant eect, these times should only be considered as guide values.
