A. General
Vickers high performance vane motors, when properly installed in a hydraulic circuit, convert hydraulic power into rotary mechanical power. They are positive-displacement, balanced cartridge units, with drive speed dependent on the motor size and gpm delivery to the inlet port. The units are capable of operating at high speeds and high pressures, or higher speeds at lower pressures. These motors may be operated in either direction of rotation, reversed or stalled under load conditions without damage.
All motors covered in this manual are basically identical in construction. The motors are designed so that the maximum torque capability can be changed within a series by changing the cartridge or the cam ring.
B. Assembly and Construction
Basic motor construction is illustrated in Figure 1. The unit consists principally of a body, cover, drive cartridge and shaft. Rotary motion is developed in the cartridge, which principally consists of a ring, rotor, ten vanes and two pressure plates. The rotor is splined and mates with the output shaft, which is supported by a ball bearing in the body and a bushing bearing in the cover pressure plate.
The vanes slide radially in the rotor slots and follow the elliptical cam contour of the ring as the rotor turns. These vanes are held against the ring by a combination of spring and centrifugal forces.
Port connections are located in the body and cover. Direction of shaft rotation is governed by the direction of fluid flow through these ports. Pressure is sealed from one port to the other by a Teflon sealing ring in the body on the periphery of the ring. Drainage is ported through an external connection in the cover.
The cartridge is bolted together and can be serviced as a complete assembly. Locating pins position the ring with respect to the pressure plates, and in like manner, two torque pins position the cartridge in the cover. The cover can be assembled in four positions with respect to the body. Changing of the port positions is accomplished by rotating the cover and cartridge.
C. Mounting
The motors are body face mounted, or are available with an optional foot mounting (see Section IV). The body mounting is a standard SAE 2-bolt type.
D. Applications
Vickers high performance vane motors are rated in poundinches of torque per 100 psi. Horsepower output is proportional to drive speed so long as pressure is constant. For application information, refer to the appropriate installation drawing (Table 1) or consult Vickers application engineering personnel.

Section III – Principles of Operation
A. General
Rotation of the motor shaft is caused by differential pressure across the motor exerting a force against the vanes. This force is in effect tangential to the rotor and causes the rotor to turn, carrying the motor shaft with it.
If fluid is directed into the motor through the body port (see
Figure 2), shaft rotation, as viewed from the shaft end, is clockwise. When the oil supply is directed to the cover port, rotation is counterclockwise, as viewed from the shaft end.
Changing the direction of fluid flow thus changes the direction of motor rotation. This is usually accomplished by the use of a suitable directional control valve. With either port open to pressure, the other port becomes the return port.
Cover
Body
B. Cartridge Action
Oil entering the inlet port (see Figure 2) is divided by internal coring and is directed into chambers between the vanes through kidney slots A and A1 (see Figure 3). The chambers between vane 1 and vane 3 are supplied with high-pressure oil from ports A and A1. The chambers between vane 3 and vane 5 are at a lower pressure because they are open to discharge ports B and B1 which are connected to the tank.
This clockwise rotation of the rotor and vane assembly results from the difference in pressure across vane 3. The maximum pressure in ports A and A1 is a function of the load the motor must turn. It can be readily seen from Figure 3 that if the direction of flow is reversed, B and B1 will become pressure chambers and the direction of shaft rotation will be reversed.

C. Hydraulic Balance
Regardless of whether A and A1 or B and B1 are high-pressure chambers, equal pressure will always be present in any two chambers 180 degrees apart. Thus, hydraulic loads against the shaft cancel each other out and the unit is in hydraulic balance.
D. Vane Balance
The vanes are ported through radial holes so that pressure at the outer edges which are against the ring is essentially equal to the inner edges. Thus, the vanes are balanced hydraulically and are held out against the ring by a combination of spring and centrifugal forces.
5
E. Dual Alternate Pressure Plates
The cartridge side plates used in these motors are an exclusive dual-alternate pressure plate design (refer to Figure 4).
Two basically identical plates are used. The plate subjected to high pressure functions as the pressure plate. High pressure acting on the outer annulus of this plate moves the complete cartridge – ring, rotor and both plates – axially away from the high-pressure housing causing the cartridge to seat against the low-pressure housing (points ‘B’ in Figure 4).
Construction of the plates is such that the lower pressurized plate contacts its housing on an annulus close to the axis of rotation.
Since the periphery of the low-pressure plate is not restrained from further movement, a load applied through the ring deflects it in the direction of the hydraulic load (points
‘A’). This action deflects that portion of the plate near the rotating axis inward towards the rotor face (points ‘B’). Thus, one side plate is deflected towards the rotor by high system pressure; the other plate is deflected towards the rotor as a result of peripheral mechanical loading plus the restraining action near its center.
This design concept results in low leakage rates and high operating efficiency. Also inherent in this design is the elimination of the shuttle valve arrangement found in conventional, dual-directional vane motors.

The installation drawings listed in Table 1 show installation dimensions and port positions.
B. Mounting and Drive Connections
Pilot
Shaft
CAUTION
Motor shafts are designed to be installed in flexible couplings with a slip fit or very light press.
Pounding a coupling end onto the shaft can damage the bearings. Shaft tolerances are shown on the installation drawings. (See Table 1)
1. Direct Drive. A pilot on the mounting flange (Figure
5) assures correct mounting and shaft alignment, provided the pilot is firmly seated in the accessory pad. Care should be exercised in tightening all flange mounting screws to prevent misalignment.
This mounting is a standard SAE 2-bolt type. If gaskets are used between flanges, they should be installed carefully so as to lie flat. Shaft keys and couplings must be properly seated to avoid slipping and possible shearing.
Proper coupling alignment is essential to prolong motor life.
Figure 5
2. Indirect Drive. Belt, chain and gear drives can be used with certain models of these motors. Specific recommendations and data on limitations should be obtained from a Vickers sales engineer.
C. Shaft Rotation and Drive Speeds
Motors can be driven in either direction of rotation without changing their construction or assembly.
Normal operating speed can be as low as 50 to 100 rpm.
Lower drive speeds depend on torque requirements and characteristics of the driven load. For operation below 50 rpm, consult a Vickers sales engineer.
D. Piping and Tubing
1. All pipes fittings, hose and tubing must be thoroughly cleaned before installation. Recommended methods of cleaning are sandblasting, wirebrushing and pickling.
NOTE
For instructions on pickling, refer to instruction sheet 1221-S.
2. To minimize flow resistance and the possibility of leakage, use only as many fittings and connections as necessary for proper installation.
3. The number of bends in hydraulic lines should be kept to a minimum to prevent excessive turbulence and friction of oil flow and to minimize pressure drop in the lines.
Tubing must not be bent too sharply. The recommended radius for bends is three times the inside diameter of the tube.
E. Hydraulic Fluid Recommendations
General Data
Oil in a hydraulic system performs the dual function of lubrication and transmission of power. It constitutes a vital factor in a hydraulic system and careful selection of it should be made with the assistance of a reputable supplier. Proper selection of oil assures satisfactory life and operation of system components with particular emphasis on hydraulic motors. Any oil selected for use with motors is acceptable for use with valves or pumps.
Data sheets for oil selection are available from Vickers
Technical Publications, Troy, Michigan. Order data sheet
M-2950-S for mobile applications.
The oil recommendations noted in the data sheet are based on our experience in industry as a hydraulic component manufacturer.
Where special considerations indicate a need to depart from the recommended oils or operating conditions, see your
Vickers representative.
Cleanliness
Clean fluid is the best insurance for long service life. To insure your hydraulic system is clean, perform the following steps.
1. Clean (flush) entire new system to remove paint, metal chips, welding shot, etc.
2. Filter each change of oil to prevent introduction of contaminants into the system.
3. Provide continuous oil filtration to remove sludge and products of wear and corrosion generated during the life of the system.
4. Provide continuous protection of system from entry of airborne contamination, by sealing the system and/or by proper filtration of the air.
5. Proper oil filling and servicing of filters, breathers, reservoirs, etc., cannot be overemphasized.
6. Good system and reservoir design will insure that aeration of the oil is kept to a minimum.
Sound Level
Noise is indirectly affected by the fluid selection, but the condition of the fluid is of paramount importance in obtaining optimum reduction of system sound levels.
Some of the major factors affecting fluid conditions that cause the loudest noises in a hydraulic system are:
1. Very high viscosities at start-up temperatures can cause motor noises due to cavitation.
2. Running with a moderately high viscosity fluid will slow the release of entrained air. The fluid will not be completely purged of such air in the time it remains in the reservoir and air will be recycled through the system.
3. Aerated fluid can also be caused by ingestion of air through the pipe joints of inlet lines, high velocity discharge lines, cylinder rod packings, or by fluid discharging above the fluid level in the reservoir. Air in the fluid causes a noise similar to cavitation.
4. Contaminated fluids can cause excessive wear of internal motor parts, which may result in increased sound levels.
F. Overload Protection
A relief valve must be installed in the system to limit pressure to a prescribed maximum. This protects the system components from excessive pressure. The setting of the relief valve depends on the work requirements of the system and the maximum pressure ratings of the system components. The relief protection must be designed to prevent any hydraulic surge pressure, whether applied to or generated by the motor, from exceeding the maximum pressure rating of the motor.
In the event of an overrunning load, the motor may be driven as a pump. If such a condition occurs, provision must be made in the circuit to supply the motor enough hydraulic fluid to prevent cavitation.
G. Drain Connection
Drain passages are provided in the motor to carry internal leakage to a drain port in the cover. Never operate the motor unless the drain port is connected to the reservoir. Pressure in the drain line must not be more than 30 psi to avoid internal damage.

H. Port Positions
Covers can be assembled in four positions with respect to bodies, as shown in Figure 6. To change the relative location of the ports, it is necessary only to remove the four cover bolts and rotate the cover to the desired position. cover bolts must be tightened to the torque specified in Figure 10 at reassembly.

The recess in the tool will be deep enough so uniform pressure is applied to the recessed area in the seal channel rather than on the seal lip. The outside diameter of the tool will not interfere with the spring around the seal lip.
The adapter extractor tool is designed to remove the hub adapter from the body after the cartridge is removed (see
Figure 8). The extractor tool engages between the ball bearing and the hub adapter.

B. Inspection
Periodic inspection of oil condition and tubing connections can save time-consuming breakdowns and unnecessary parts replacement. The following should be checked regularly.
1. All hydraulic connections must be kept tight. A loose connection in a pressure line will permit the fluid to leak out.
Loose connections in other lines can permit air to be drawn into the system, resulting in noisy and/or erratic operation.
2. Clean fluid is the best insurance for long service life.
Therefore, the reservoir should be checked periodically for dirt or other contaminants. If the fluid becomes contaminated, the system should be thoroughly drained and the reservoir cleaned before new fluid is added.
3. Filter elements also should be checked and replaced periodically. A clogged filter element results in a higher pressure drop. This can force particles through the filter which would ordinarily be trapped, or can cause the bypass to open, resulting in a partial or complete loss of filtration.
4. Air bubbles in the reservoir can ruin the motor and other components. If bubbles are seen, locate the source of the air and seal the leak.
C. Adding Fluid To The System
When hydraulic fluid is added to replenish the system, it should always be poured through a fine wire screen (200 mesh or finer).
It is important that the fluid be clean and free of any substance which could cause improper operation or wear of the motor or other hydraulic units. Therefore, the use of cloth to strain the fluid should be avoided to prevent lint from getting into the system.
D. Lubrication and Adjustments
Internal lubrication is provided by system oil flow. No periodic adjustments are required, other than to maintain proper shaft alignment with the driving medium.
E. Replacement Parts
Reliable operation throughout the specified operating range is assured only if genuine Vickers parts are used. Part numbers are shown in the parts drawings listed in Table 1.
F. Product Life
The longevity of these products is dependent upon environment, duty cycle, operating parameters and system cleanliness. Since these parameters vary from application to application, the ultimate user must determine and establish the periodic maintenance required to maximize life and detect potential component failure.
G. Troubleshooting
Table 5 lists the common difficulties experienced with vane motors and hydraulic systems. It also indicates the probable causes and remedies for each of the troubles listed.
It should always be remembered that many apparent motor failures are actually due to the failure of other parts of the system. The cause of improper operation is best diagnosed with adequate testing equipment and a thorough understanding of the complete hydraulic system.

Section VI – Overhaul
A. General
Plug all removed units and cap all lines to prevent the entry of dirt into the system during shutdown. During disassembly, pay particular attention to identification of the parts for correct assembly.
Figure 10 is an exploded view which shows the proper relationship of the parts for disassembly and assembly.
Figure 1 can be referred to for the correct assembled relationship.
NOTE
Pre-assembled replacement cartridges are available for rapid field overhaul of these motors. If a replacement cartridge is being used, proceed as in step B-1 following for disassembly and step D-7 and D-8 for reassembly.
B. Disassembly
1. Cover End. Clamp the motor in a vise with protective jaws, cover end up.
Remove the four cover bolts and lift off the cover. Remove the cartridge from the body. If the cartridge is not being replaced as an assembly, remove two screws and separate the pressure plates from the rotor, ring, vanes and springs.
NOTE
Use a standard piston ring compressor of suitable size when disassembling and assembling the cartridge components.
Carefully pull the rotor and vane assembly half way out of ring and install the ring compressor (see Figure 9).
Compress the vanes into the rotor and remove this assembly from ring. Release the ring compressor and disassemble components. Remove the o-ring and back-up rings from the pressure plate and body.
2. Shaft End. Remove the shaft key. Carefully pull the hub adapter from the body with the adapter puller tool (see
Figure 8). Remove spirolox ring next to the shaft bearing from the body, then tap the shaft and bearing assembly out.
If it is necessary to remove the small snap ring and bearing from the shaft, support the bearing inner race in an arbor press, remove snap ring and press bearing off the shaft.
Remove washer and then shaft seal and wiper from the body.
C. Inspection and Repair
1. Discard the shaft seal, wiper, o-rings and back-up rings. Use a new seal kit for reassembly (see parts catalog).
Wash the metal parts in clean petroleum solvent, blow them dry with filtered compressed air and place on a clean surface for inspection.
2. Check for wearing surfaces of the cartridge pressure plates and ring for scoring and wear. Replace any scored or worn parts.
3. Inspect the vanes for burrs, wear and excessive play in the rotor slots. Carefully remove burrs with a medium India stone (Norton abrasives MF724 knife type stone for flat surfaces and MF214 round type stones with 60
_ conical ends for inside corners). Replace the rotor if the slots are worn.
Replace vanes with a new vane and spring kit if the vane tips are worn.
4. Rotate the bearing on the shaft while applying pressure to check for wear, looseness, roughness and pitted or cracked races.
5. Inspect the seal and bushing mating surfaces on the shaft for scoring or wear. Replace the shaft if marks cannot be removed by light polishing.
6. Be sure that any paint or burrs raised on the body and cover mating surfaces are removed before reassembly.
D. Reassembly
NOTE
Coat all parts with clean hydraulic fluid to facilitate reassembly and provide initial lubrication. Use small amounts of petroleum jelly to hold the o-rings in place during assembly. Soak the shaft wiper in oil before reassembly.
1. Shaft Seal Assembly. Install the shaft wiper in the body. Grease the shaft seal and press it into the body with the seal driver (Figure 7). The spring on the shaft seal must be toward the bearing. Place the washer in the body against the shaft seal.
2. Shaft Assembly. Support the bearing inner race and press in the shaft. Install the tru-arc snap ring on the shaft.
Lightly tap the shaft and bearing assembly into the body with a plastic hammer. Install the spirolox ring in the body to secure the bearing and shaft. Thoroughly inspect to insure that spirolox ring is correctly installed.
3. Cartridge Assembly. With the rotor lying on a clean, flat surface, slide the vanes and springs into the rotor slots.
Lift the vanes slightly to insure the springs are positioned in the spring recesses of the rotor. With a piston ring compressor of suitable size, compress the vanes in the slots so the vanes will clear the minor diameter of the ring (Figure 9).

6. Cover End Pressure Plate. Install the cover end pressure plate against the rotor and ring. The porting in this plate will be 90 degrees from the other plate. Carefully install the two cap screws in the cartridge. Tighten the screws to values shown in Figure 9 being certain the peripheral edges of the ring and plates are flush. Tap with a plastic hammer if necessary to effect alignment.
7. O-Rings and Back-Up Rings. Install backup rings first and then o-rings on the pressure plate hubs. Grease with petroleum jelly. Inspect this assembly to insure that the o-ring is positioned in the concave side of the back-up ring.
8. Cartridge Installation. Clamp the body in a vise with protective jaws. Assemble the hub adapter on the cartridge pressure plate (body end). Install back-up ring and then the o-ring on the hub adapter. Grease with petroleum. Install the cartridge on the shaft, with the hub adapter toward the body.
Tap the cartridge into position. Install the retaining ring in the body.
9. Cover Assembly. Install the o-ring in the cover, greasing liberally. Carefully install the cover, being sure the locating pin engages the pin hole in the cover. To check engagement, turn the cover 30 degrees in both directions and be certain the cartridge moves with it. Install four cover bolts and tighten requirement shown in Figure 9.
