Series 40 Axial Piston Motors
Technical Information
General description
BASIC DESIGN Series 40 is a family of hydrostatic pumps and motors for medium power applications
with maximum loads of 345 bar [5000 psi]. These pumps and motors can be applied
together or combined with other products in a system to transfer and control hydraulic
power.
Series 40 transmissions (pump plus motor) provide an innitely variable speed range
between zero and maximum in both forward and reverse modes of operation. The
pumps and motors each come in four frame sizes: M25, M35, M44, and M46.
Series 40 pumps are compact, high power density units. All models use the parallel axial
piston / slipper concept in conjunction with a tiltable swashplate to vary the pumps
displacement. Reversing the angle of the swashplate reverses the ow of uid from the
pump, reversing the direction of rotation of the motor output.
Series 40 M35, M44, and M46 pumps may include an integral charge pump to provide
system replenish ing and cooling uid ow, as well as servo control uid ow on M46
pumps. M25 pumps are designed to receive charge ow from an auxiliary circuit or
from a gear pump mounted on the auxiliary mounting pad. Series 40 pumps feature
a range of auxiliary mounting pads to accept auxiliary hydraulic pumps for use in
complementary hydraulic systems.
Series 40 M46 pumps offer proportional controls with either manual, hydraulic, or
electronic actuation. An electric three-position control is also available. The M25, M35,
and M44 pumps include a trunnion style direct displacement control.
Series 40 motors also use the parallel axial piston / slipper design in conjunction with
a xed or tiltable swashplate. The family includes M25, M35, M44 xed motor units and
M35, M44, M46 variable motor units.
The M35 and M44 variable motors feature a trunnion style swashplate and direct
displacement control. The M46 variable motors use a cradle swashplate design and a
two-position hydraulic servo control.

A Series 40 M35 xed motor is shown in a hydraulic circuit with a Series 40 M46 variable pump. A loop ushing module
is included on the motor. The circuit features suction ltration and heat exchanger.
M46 MOTOR SCHEMATIC
The system ports (A and B) connect to the high pressure work lines. The motor receives pressurized uid in its inlet port
and discharges de-energized uid through the outlet port. Either port can act as inlet or outlet; ow is bidirectional.
System port pressure is gauged through ports M1 and M2. The motor has two case drains (L1 and L2). The motor may
include loop ushing. Loop ushing provides additional cooling and ltration capacity.

Hydraulic unit life is the life expectancy of the hydraulic components. Hydraulic unit life
is a function of speed and system pressure; however, system pressure is the dominant
operating variable affecting hydraulic unit life. High pressure, which results from high
load, reduces expected life.
It is desirable to have a projected machine duty cycle with per centages of time at various
loads and speeds. Sauer-Danfoss calculates appropriate design pressure from this
information. This method of selecting operating pressure is recom mended whenever
duty cycle information is available.

BEARING LIFE AND
EXTERNAL SHAFT
LOADING
Bearing life is a function of speed, pressure and swashplate angle, plus any external loads.
Other life factors include oil type and viscosity.
In vehicle propulsion drives with no external loads, where the speed, pressure, and
swashplate angle are often changing, normal bearing ß
10
(90% survival) life will exceed
the hydraulic unit life.
In non-propel drives, such as conveyors or fan drives, the operating speed and pressure
may be nearly constant leading to a distinctive duty cycle compared to that of a
propulsion drive. In propel applications, Sauer-Danfoss recommends a bearing life
review.
Series 40 motors are designed with bearings that can accept some incidental external
radial and thrust loads. However, any amount of external load will reduce the expected
bearing life.
The allowable radial shaft loads are a function of the load position, the load orientation,
and the operating pressures of the hydraulic unit. All external shaft loads have an effect
on bearing life. In motor applications where external shaft loads cannot be avoided,
the impact on bearing life can be mini mized by orienting the load to the 180 degree
position (see Direction of external shaft load, next page).
The recommended maximum radial load (R
e
) is based on an external moment (M
e
) and
the distance (L) from the mounting ange to the load, (see table at below). The loads
in the table reect a worst case external load orientation (0 degrees), a continuously
applied working pressure of 140 bar (2000 psi), 20 bar (285 psi) charge pressure,
1800 min
-1
(rpm), and a bearing life (ß
10
) of 2000 hours. Avoid thrust loads in either
direction.
The recommended maximum allowable radial load is calculated as: R
e
= M
e
/ L
If continuously applied external radial loads exceed the recommended maximum
allowable, or thrust loads are known to occur, contact Sauer-Danfoss for an evaluation of
unit bearing life. Optional high capacity bearings are available.
Tapered output shafts or clamp-type couplings are recommended for applications
where radial shaft side loads are present.

Operating parameters
PRESSURE RATINGS The table, Operating parameters, page 10, gives maximum and continuous pressure
ratings for each displacement. Not all displacements operate under the same pressure
limits. Denitions of the operating pressure limits appear below.
System pressure is the differential pressure between system ports A and B. It is the
dominant operating variable affecting hydraulic unit life. High system pressure, which
results from high load, reduces expected life. System pressure must remain at or below
continuous working pressure during normal operation to achieve expected life.
Continuous working pressure is the average, regularly occurring operating pressure.
Operating at or below this pressure should yield satisfactory product life.
Maximum (peak) working pressure is the highest intermittent pressure allowed.
Maximum machine load should never exceed this pressure. For all applications, the load
should move below this pressure.
All pressure limits are differential pressures referenced to low loop (charge) pressure.
Subtract low loop pressure from gauge readings to compute the differential.

SPEED RATINGS The table, Operating parameters, page 10, gives rated and maximum speeds for each
displacement. Not all displacements operate under the same speed limits. Denitions of
these speed limits appear below.
Rated speed is the maximum recommended operating speed at full power condition.
Operating at or below this speed should yield satisfactory product life. In vehicle propel
applications, maximum motor speed during unloaded, on-road travel over level ground
should not exceed this limit.
Maximum speed is the highest operating speed permitted. Exceeding maximum speed
reduces motor life and can cause loss of hydrostatic power and braking capacity. Never
exceed the maximum speed limit under any operating conditions.
W Warning
Unintended vehicle or machine movement hazard.
The loss of hydrostatic drive line power, in any mode of operation (forward, neutral, or
reverse) may cause the system to lose hydrostatic braking capacity. You must provide a
braking system, redundant to the hydrostatic transmission, sufcient to stop and hold
the vehicle or machine in the event of hydrostatic drive power loss.

Series 40 Axial Piston Motors
Technical Information
System design parameters
FILTRATION To prevent damage to the system, including premature wear, uid entering the motor
must be free of contaminants. Series 40 motors require system ltration capable of
maintaining uid cleanliness at ISO 4406-1999 class 22/18/13 or better.
Consider these factors when selecting a system lter:
• Cleanliness specications
• Contaminant ingression rates
• Flow capacity
• Desired maintenance interval
The lter may be located either on the inlet (suction ltration) or discharge (charge
pressure l tration) side of the charge pump. Series 40 pumps are available with
provisions for either suction or charge pressure ltration to lter the uid entering the
charge circuit (see next page).
Typically, a lter with a beta ratio of β
10
= 1.5 to 2.0 is adequate. However, open circuit
systems supplied from a common reservoir may have considerably higher requirements.
Because each system is unique, only a thorough testing and evaluation program can
fully validate the ltration system. For more information, see Sauer-Danfoss publication
520L0467, Design Guidelines for Hydraulic Fluid Cleanliness.
BYPASS VALVE In some applications it is desirable to bypass uid around the variable displacement
pump, for example; to allow a vehicle to move short distances at low speeds without
running the prime mover. This is done by opening a manually operated bypass valve.
This valve connects both sides of the pump/motor circuit and allows the motor to turn.
During normal operation, this valve must be fully closed .
Bypass valves are available in Series 40 pumps. See Sauer-Danfoss publication:
520L0635, Series 40 Pumps Technical Information.
Bypass valves are intended for moving a machine or vehicle for very short distances at
very slow speeds. They are NOT intended as tow valves.

Technical Information
System design parameters
LOOP FLUSHING VALVE Series 40 motors may incorporate an integral loop ushing valve. Installations that
require additional uid to be removed from the main hydraulic circuit because of uid
cooling or cleanliness requirements, will benet from loop ushing. A loop ushing valve
will remove heat and contaminants from the main loop at a rate faster than otherwise
possible. Contact your Sauer-Danfoss representative for production availability on
specic frame size motors.
Series 40 loop ushing valves include a loop ushing relief valve with integral orice. The
ushing ow is a function of the pump charge relief valve, and the orice size.
Loop ushing ows of 3 to 7 l/min [0.75 to 2 US gal/min] are adequate for most
applications. Contact your Sauer-Danfoss representative for assistance.
W WARNING
Incorrect charge pressure settings may result in the inability to build required system
pressure and/or inadequate loop ushing ows. Maintain correct charge pressure under
all conditions.

System design parameters
W Warning
Unintended vehicle or machine movement hazard.
The loss of hydrostatic drive line power, in any mode of operation (forward, neutral, or
reverse) may cause the system to lose hydrostatic braking capacity. You must provide a
braking system, redundant to the hydrostatic transmission, sufcient to stop and hold
the vehicle or machine in the event of hydrostatic drive power loss.
REDUNDANT BRAKING
SYSTEM REQUIREMENT
RESERVOIR The reservoir provides clean uid, dissipates heat, and removes entrained air from the
hydraulic uid. It allows for uid volume changes associated with uid expansion and
cylinder differential volumes. Minimum reservoir capacity depends on the volume
needed to perform these functions. Typically, a capacity of one half the charge pump
ow (per minute) is satisfactory for a closed reservoir. Open circuit systems sharing a
common reservoir will require greater uid capacity.
Locate the reservoir outlet (suction line) near the bottom, allowing clearance for settling
foreign particles. Use a 100 - 125 µm screen covering the outlet port. Place the reservoir
inlet (return lines) below the lowest expected uid level, as far away from the outlet as
possible. Use a bafe (or bafes) between the reser voir inlet and outlet ports to reduce
aeration and uid surging.
OVERPRESSURE
PROTECTION
Series 40 motors (as well as other system components) have pressure limits. Relief valves
or pressure limiters should be present in the high pressure circuit to protect components
from excessive pressures.
Series 40 motors are available with a range of high pressure relief valve settings.
C Caution
High pressure relief valves are intended for transient overpressure protection and are not
intended for continuous pressure control. Operation over relief valves for extended peri-
ods of time may result in severe heat build up. High ows over relief valves may result
in pressure levels exceed ing the nominal valve setting and potential damage to system
compo nents.

Features and options
DISPLACEMENT LIMITERS M35, M44, and M46 variable motors have minimum displacement limiters. Minimum
unit dis placement is obtained with the adjuster screw at its maximum extension from
the end cap or displacement control piston cover. All motors are shipped with the
displacement limiter set for minimum motor displacement.
The M35 and M44 MV minimum displacement limiter is located in the end cap. The
M46 MV minimum displacement limiter is located in the displacement control piston
cavity. The length and conguration of this limiter will depend upon the control option
installed in the motor.
M46 MV units may have an optional mechanical maximum displacement limiter
located in the displacement control piston cover. The maximum displace ment limit can
be adjusted by loosening the sealing lock nut, adjusting displacement by rotating the
screw with a screwdriver, then locking the adjuster by torquing the sealing lock nut.
Maximum unit dis placement is obtained with the adjuster screw standing at its
maximum height out of the displacement control piston cover. All motors are shipped
with the limiter set for maximum motor displacement.
WWARNING
Undesirable output
speed hazard.
Take care adjusting
displacement limiters.
Too low of a minimum
displacement setting
can result in higher than
expected output speed.
Retorque the sealing
locknut after every
adjustment to prevent
an unexpected changes
and to prevent external
leakage.

Series 40 Axial Piston Motors
Technical Information
Features and options
SPEED SENSOR OPTION Series 40 motors are available with a speed sensor option for direct measurement of
motor output speed. You can use this sensor may to sense the direction and speed of
motor rotation.
A special magnetic speed ring is pressed onto the outside diameter of the cylinder
block. A hall effect pulse pickup is located in the motor housing. The sensor accepts
supply voltage and outputs a digital pulse signal in response to the speed of the ring.
The output changes its high/low state as the north and south poles of the permanently
magnetized speed ring pass by the face of the sensor. The digital signal is generated at
frequencies suitable for microprocessor based controls.
This sensor will operate with a supply voltage of 4.5 to 15 Vdc, and requires a current of
12 mA at 5.0 Vdc (minimum) under no load. Maximum operating current is 20 mA at 5
Vdc (maximum). Maximum operating frequency is 15 kHz. Output voltage in High State
(VOH) is sensor supply voltage minus 0.5 Vdc, minimum. Output voltage in Low State
(VOL) is 0.5 Vdc, maximum. The sensor is available with a Packard Weather-Pack
TM
or 4-
pin sealed connector.
Contact your Sauer-Danfoss representative for production availability on specic motor
frame sizes, or for special speed sensor options.

DIRECT DISPLACEMENT
CONTROL (DDC)
The direct displacement control is available on either side of the M35 and M44 variable
motors. It pro vides a simple, positive method of displacement control. Movement of
the control shaft causes a propor tional swashplate movement, thus varying the motors
displacement from full to minimum displacement.
Neutral position is not factory set, nor is there any internal neutral return mechanism.
The application must include provisions for all control linkage and neutral return
functionality.
External Control Handle Requirements
Maximum allowable trunnion torque is 79.1 N•m [700 lbf•in]. Minimum torque necessary
to hold the swash plate per 70 bar of differential system pressure is 11.3 N•m [100 lbf•in].
Maximum trunnion angle is 16° for M35 and M44.

Series 40 Axial Piston Motors
Technical Information
Control options
TWO-POSITION
HYDRAULIC CONTROL
Series 40 M46 variable displacement motors are equipped with a hydraulically controlled
swashplate. The motor is spring biased toward maximum displacement. A hydraulic
piston is used to shift the swashplate from maximum to minimum displacement. A single
or two-line control can regulate the servo piston.
With the standard single-line control option, hydraulic pressure is supplied to the
control port (X1) to shift the motor to minimum displacement. The opposite end of the
displacement control piston internally drains to the motor case. The swashplate shifts
with a minimum pressure of 13.8 bar [200 psi]. The bias spring returns the motor to
maximum displacement when control pressure is removed.
The single-line control generally uses a customer supplied 2-position, 3-way control
valve. Hydraulic pressure on the control piston must not exceed 27.6 bar [400 psi].
In applications which encounter frequent shifting on-the-go as part of the normal duty
cycle, we recommend the optional two-line control. Applications with routine shifting
from work range to travel range may not require the two-line control. to command
minimum displacement, port control pressure to port X1 and drain port X2. To command
maximum displacement, port control pressure to port X2 and drain port X1.
The two-line control generally uses a customer supplied 2-position, 4-way control valve.
Hydraulic pressure on the control piston must not exceed 27.6 bar (400 psi).
Orices in either (or both) the control valve supply and drain lines optimize the shift rate
for either the single or two-line control. Contact your Sauer-Danfoss representative for
additional information.
