 Producer of high pressure hydraulics
With 50 years of experience in hydraulic design and manufacturing, Brødr.
Bauer-Nilsen AS produces an extensive range of high-pressure hydraulic
equipment for the shipbuilding sector as well as for offshore and land-based
industry. Bauer-Nilsen products include high-torque, slow-speed hydraulic motors,
high-pressure hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic control valves.

HIGH-TORQUE LOW-SPEED HYDRAULIC MOTORS

The Bauer Hydraulics production programme concists of different standard motors size ranging
from 1.8 l/rev to 32.6 l/rev with turning moments up to 138 000 Nm. All motors are radial piston
type with heavy roller bearings on shaft end eccentric. Internal friction is very low and starting
torque high.
Bauer Hydraulics also produces motors with two shaft ends. Two-speed motors are also available.
The two-speed/torque arrangement is obtained either by moving the slide spindle axially (HR 12)
or by a circulation valve (HR 14) for speed control of the motor. The circulation valve (HR 14)
offers a very smooth changing of speed/torque even when the motor is loaded/running.
By introducing larger pistons diameters in existing motor designs, applicable for motors subjected
to moderate fatigue loads, Bauer Hydraulics now has available motors with a better price on
volume ratio. In order to have a higher drainage pressure on large motors, these motors are now
made with a strengthened motor casing. These motors are now better suited to be installed on
large vessels by connecting the drain lines directly to the hydraulic system´s common return line.

HIGH PRESSURE HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS

Double-acting and single-acting cylinders with strokes up to 12000 mm;
diameter 25-600 mm and larger telescopic cylinders are delivered to the
rules of the different classification societies.
A great number of different cylinder designs are available, trunnion or
flange mountings and internal mechanical locking.

HYDRAULIC CONTROL VALVES

Bauer´s design of hydraulic manoeuvring valves combines the effect of a
balanced spindle and seated valves, eliminating leakages through pres-
sure ports and maintaining smooth, easy operation.
This solution is of special value in constant pressure systems, and the
delivery programme includes:
• control valves for series and constant pressure systems
• load control valves for cylinders and hydraulic motors with adjustable
damping
• manoeuvring stations with baseplate valve mounting, sub-plates in
accordance with ISO standard 4001.

HYDRAULIC WINCHES AND JIGGER WINCHES

For doors, containerlifts, ramps and RO-RO ramps we deliver jigger
winches and hydraulic winches with a large range of different sizes and
capacities to meet customer requierements.

two roller bearings, and the eccenter
has a large roller bearing. Mechani-
cal losses in the transmission are
small, and the motor has a high
starting torque. – The oil supply to
the cylinders is directed by a
hydraulically balanced slide system.
The slide therefore runs with very

DIFFERENT MOTOR VERSIONS AND APPLICATIONS

The motor type HMB is produced in 3 different versions:
1. A heavy duty industrial motor with large cylindrical bearings and a 500 l/min slide valve. The cylindrical roller bearings
give longest service life of the different type of bearings that can be mounted in a standard motor. For carrying external
radial loads they have the highest fatigue capacity.
2. Also a heavy duty motor with large cylindrical bearings, but with a 300 l/min slide valve for lower speed.
3. For motors on applications where the shaft has to carry large axial loads, taper roller bearings are recommended.
Cylindrical roller bearings are standard. The HMB motors can also be equipped with two shaft connections
(shaft on both sides).

different principles to obtain the two speed/torque function. One by moving the slide valve spindle (HR12) and the
other by disconnecting cylinders through a circulation valve (HR14 and HR22). All cylinders are engaged when running
at slow speed/ high torque, and some cylinders are disconnected when running with high speed/low torque.
Standard speed/torque ratios obtainable are as follows: 6/3, 9/3, 9/6,14/7 and 18/9. When other speed/torque ratios are
required, please contact us. The ratio 8/4 is infrequently used. Running a motor on 4 cylinders gives a very uneven
torque and angular speed (see diagram page 19.) This might cause uncontrolled vibrations. The circulation valve can also
be used for free-wheeling. In this case, cylinders are disconnected, e.g. 7/0, 9/0, 14/0, 18/0

HYDRAULIC OPERATION MANUAL OPERATION

The two-speed slide valves HR14 and HR22 are
hydraulically operated. High speed is optained by
applying a pilot pressure. Two alternative pilot
pressure settings are available: 20 bar and
60 bar. A 60 bar pilot pressure is however standard.
Slow speed is automatically obtained by zero pilot
pressure.
The slide valve HR12 can also be delivered as
manually operated. The manually operated lever has
two positions. One position gives high speed/low
torque, and other position gives low speed/high
torque. The force needed to change position is low,
approximately 5 kg.

By using the slide valve HR14 we obtain a very smooth changing of speed/torque, even when the motor is loaded and
running. By this arrangement the cross-connected cylinders are emptied and drained to tank, hence we avoid
overheating the oil.

 EFFECT OF PULSATION ON STARTING AND RUNNING TORQUE

The most distinct characteristics given by the above curves are that odd-number cylinders in general have a much
smoother pulsation then even-number cylinder. A pulsation of 29,9% as illustrated in curve for four cylinders is
regarded to give too high vibrations. Consequently, four cylinders are not recommended.
The curves are based on the Bauer HMH motor with cylinder diameter ø145 mm and stroke 110 mm.

positioned at an angle corresponding to the low- and sharp bottoms of the pulsation curves.

 EXTERNAL LOAD ON THE SHAFT END

Calculation formulas for additional

load on shaft and front bearing.

The effect of external radial load on

the shaft end has to be considered
from two points of view:

1. Additional radial load transferred

to the front bearing, P2.

2. Additional material stresses

produced in the shaft by the
bending moment caused by the
external load, K.

CALCULATION OF ADDITIONAL RADIAL LOAD ON FRONT BEARING P2

 INTERNAL PRESSURE LOSSES IN MOTORS AND SLIDE VALVES

The graph below shows the oil pres-

sure required to drive an unloaded
motor at various oil deliveries. The oil
pressure required to drive an unloaded
motor mainly consists of dynamic
pressure losses inside the motor.
The values given in the graphs below
refer to an oil viscosity of approx.
36 cSt. For oils with higher viscosity
the pressure losses will only have a
moderate increase.

Boost pressure
When the motor is working as a
pump (i.e. overrunning loads) it is
important that the motor is supplied
with sufficient oil to avoid cavitation.
The necessary feed pressure at the
oil inlet can be estimated from the
below pressure loss graphs. The
minimum inlet pressure should be 1,6
times the pressure taken from the Using two inlet and two outlet ports A, Aʼ and B, Bʼ the pressure

 OIL LEAKAGE
Drain
The slide valves on the Bauer
motors are of a rigid design giving
little distortion even under pressure.
The leakage values are therefore
relatively small. T P
See below curves indicating the oil
leakage in the different slide valves
and motors.

NOTE
In a closed hydraulic circut the
motor casing leakage has to be
compensated by the delivery of the
booster pump only. The slide valve
leakage remains in the circuit.
The motor casing leakage must
always be drained.

 HYDRAULIC MOTORS FOR WINCHES WITHOUT MECHANICAL BRAKES

The pistons connecting rods on the

Bauer motors are equipped with
retainer rings causing mechanical
return of the pistons in case of
cavitation, and when the motor is
working as a pump. This feature,
together with a low leakage rate,
makes the motors suitable for load
control equipment (e.g. winches)
without mechanical brakes. See
piping diagram to the right.

fig. I

LOAD CONTROL VALVE RECOMMENDATION

When needed, a pilot-pressure

operated valve should be used for
load control on Bauer motors
(see connection diagram fig. I).

A relief valve used as a load control

valve should not be used (indicated
on connection diagram fig. II). On
idle running this arrangement will
have maximum relief valve pres-
sure on both sides of the motor
(pressure and return side). This will
give too high back-pressure in the fig. II

BACK-PRESSURE

In general the back-pressure should Too high back-pressure will reduce

design of some applications results in
continous pressure on both inlet- and
outlet ports. In such cases, the lowest
pressure of the two ports must not
exceed 60 bar on HMB and 45 bar on

back-pressure is desired, e.g. when
motors are working in series, please

bearings. This might disturb the
function of the bearing.
However, the back-pressure must
offer a sufficient margin to avoid
cavitation. For more information
about cavitation, see «Boost

 OIL PRESSURE IN THE MOTOR CASING (DRAIN PRESSURE).
To reduce excessive wear on the
rotating shaft seal, the pressure in
the motor casing (drain pressure)
should normally be kept as low as
possible. For motors working in con-
tinuous service, the pressure should
not exceed 1 bar.
For motors used on anchor winches
and capstans on ships, the drain line
is usually connected the main return
line. This line often has a conside-
rable lenght, which gives a high oil
friction when operating at low tempe-
OIL CIRCULATION THROUGH MOTOR CASING
For motors working continuously at
high pressure or relatively high
speed, the oil temperature in the
casing might get too high. In this
case circulation of some of the return
oil through connection points with
3/4ʼʼ BSP threads is recommended. It
is important that the circulation outlet
is connected to the highest of these
connection points.
HYDRAULIC FLUIDS
MINERAL OILS
A good quality mineral-based oil
which preferably incorporates anti-
wear and anti-foaming additives,
oxidation and corrosion protection
should be used.
VISCOSITY
In an open hydraulic circuit, the
lubrication requirements of the
hydraulic pumps are usually the
deciding factor for the minimum
viscosity of the hydraulic fluid. For
the Bauer motors it has become
normal practice to accept the same
viscosity limitations as required for
the pumps.
Bauer Hydraulic Motors AS, P.O. Box 100, N-5501 Haugesund, Tel.: +47 52 70 77 70, Fax +47 52 70 77 99, E-mail: bauer@bauer.no
ratures. With such an arrangement
the drain pressure in the motor
casing will also increase.
As the operation intervals and rotati-
on speed for these applications are
limited, a drain pressure up to 10 bar
can be accepted. In this case a suit-
able shaft seal must be mounted
(see page 26). As a blow-out protec-
tion of the motor casing against peak
(shock) pressure, the motor is provi-
ded with a pressure relief valve loca-
ted in one of the drain outlets.
To obtain a circulation pressure diffe-
rential (of approx. 0,5 bar) in an
open hydraulic circuit, a slight
restriction or a spring loaded valve
may be installed in the return line of
the motor. In closed circuit systems
the return oil from the booster pump
can be used for casing circulation.
FIRE-RESISTANCE FLUIDS
Synthetic fluids (e.g. phosphate
ester) and water based fluids
(water emulsions and water glycols)
only to be used after consulting the
manufacturer.
As a guidance note we will recom-
mend the following viscosity values:
1. For motors in intermittent service:
- motors for manoeuvring of ship
hatches, viscosity not lower than
12 cSt.
- motors for excavators, winches
and normal equipment, viscocity
not lower than 16 cSt.
2. For motors in continuos service:
- viscosity not lower than 23 cSt.
The relief valve pressure is set to
20 bar for HMB and 15 bar for HMJ,
HMH and HMK.
It is always advisable to mount a
check valve (non-return valve) in
the drain outlet in order to protect
the motor casing from possible
pressure shocks in the main drain
line.
Because of the low internal leakage
rate of the Bauer motors, we recom-
mend oil circulation on motors wor-
king with a continuous effect larger
than 11 kW (15 hk).
All hydraulic fluid must be within the
viscosity limits given below.
FILTRATION
Due to the design, the Bauer motors
are in general less sensitve to impu-
rities and pollution than the hydrau-
lic system in which they operate.
Hence the filtration requirements are
usually limited by the other
components within the hydraulic
system. However, filters of 25
micron or less are recommended.
