EATON Bent Axis Piston Motor - Variable Displacement E-MOPI-MC005-E1  March 2011 3
Bent Axis Motor – BAV7

The new BAV7 series bent axis motors are designed for
operation in both open and closed circuit. Incorporating
the lens shaped proven design valve plate, high quality
components and manufacturing techniques allow the BAV7
series motors to operate up at 430 bar (6235 psi) continuous
and 480 bar (6960 psi) peak pressures. Fully laboratory
tested and field proven, these motors provide maximum
efficiency and long life even in the most demanding
conditions. Heavy duty bearings permit high radial and axial
loads. The versatile design includes a variety of control and
mounting options that will adapt the BAV7 series motors to
any industrial or mobile application.
Typical Applications:
A full range of options are available to tailor these units • Earth moving machines and construction equipment
to your application needs. To optimize vehicle operating
characteristics, an array of control options are available • Agricultural and forestry vehicles
on variable displacement models; automatic, operator • Marine and off-shore equipment
selectable, hydraulic pressure response and proportional, • Industrial conveying, mixing & other stationary in-plant uses
electric proportional, manual.

Fluid and Filtration Guidelines

1. Types of fluid 2. Viscosity index 3. Viscosity grades 5. Filtering Grade

The table below shows the
main categories of hydrau-
lic fluid as referenced in
ISO 6743-4. Under normal
operating conditions, Eaton
Hydraulics recommends
mineral oil-based fluids with
anticorrosive and anti-wear
additives (HL or HM grade)
for its bent-axis piston units.
Flame resistant fluids (HF
grade) and organic fluids
(HE grade) may not be fully
compatible with materials
and may therefore reduce
the maximum pressure and
speed specification of Bent
Axis piston units. Customers
are advised to contact Eaton
Hydraulics before using
flame-resistant or organic
fluids.
Mineral Oil-Based Fluids
HH Additive-free
HL Anticorrosive, antioxiadant
HM HL and anti-wear additives
HV HM additives and
viscosity controls
The optimum viscosity of
the hydraulic fluid at normal
system operating tem-
perature (temperature of
the tank for open circuits or
temperature of the circuit
for closed circuits) must fall
between the minimum and
maximum values shown
below. The minimum viscos-
ity shown is permitted in
extreme conditions and for
short intervals. This value
refers to a maximum fluid
temperature of 90°C (tem-
perature at case drain).
The maximum viscosity for
short intervals and during
cold starts is shown below.
The temperature of the fluid
should not exceed a maxi-
mum of +115°C or mini-
mum of -25°C.
Variable and Fixed
Displacement Fluids
Optimum 15-40 (cSt)
Minimum 10 (cSt)
Maximum 1000 (cSt)

hydraulic fluids are divided filtering grade ßx is the

fall within the optimum vis-
cosity range above.
4. Contamination Grades
Efficient filtering is essential
for hydraulic systems to
operate properly. A good
quality fluid extends the
working life of hydraulic
parts and makes the system
more reliable.

Example: A filter with a filtering ratio of ß20 ≥ 100 is able

to capture all particles greater than or equal to 20 μm. Eaton
Hydraulics recommends filters with the following Bx ratios
for its Bent Axis piston motors:

1. Filling the Case
The case of bent axis piston
motors must be pre-filled
with hydraulic oil before the
system is started for the
first time.
Use the case drain connec-
tion at the highest point to
ensure the case remains
full at all times. See figure
below.
Caution: Starting the motor
with little or no oil in the
case causes immediate and
permanent damage to the
piston unit.

All hoses connected to tank
(case drain lines) should be
immersed at least 200 mm
[8 in.] below the minimum
oil level and at least 150 mm
[6 in.] from the bottom of
the tank.

Installation Position
Motors may be installed
both above and below the
level of the fluid in the tank,
(lowest level of the oil when
the system is operating).
When motors are used in
open circuit applications,
the oil level is affected by
the number and size of any
hydraulic cylinders used
in the system. For mobile
installations it is important to
take into account the slope
of the ground and the effect
of centrifugal forces on the
oil level.

Installation Above the Tank
Particular care should be
taken when installing units
above the tank. Special case
drain hoses must always be
used to prevent the case
from being siphoned out.
Always use the highest
case drain port available
and ensure that the line
is designed such that the
motor case remains full at
all times.
It is recommended to
position a pre-loaded check
valve in the cased drain
line (maximum pressure
when open: 0.5 bar [8 psi])
to prevent oil from draining
from the motor case when
the system is not in use.
S2
R
S1
The oil level of the units
should be checked at regular
intervals. It is essential to
check the level if the system
is out of service for extend-
ed periods of time, since the
force of gravity causes oil to
drain from the case.
Installation Below the Tank
Installation below the mini-
mum level of the fluid (or
immersed in fluid) does not
create particular problems.
Gearbox mount motors
should not be installed verti-
cally with the shaft turned
upwards.

Flushing
If Bent Axis piston motors
are to be installed with shaft
turned upwards, or run at
high oil temperature inside
the tank (>50° C), or if units
are used for a long operation
time at high pressures(>250
bar), it is recommended
to flush the motor with
the optional flushing valve
(model code position 23,24)
and selecting the desired
flow rate.
Application information
Installation Guidelines (Continued)
System Start-up
Before starting system for
the first time, fill system
components with new and
filtered oil. In addition, clean
the reservoir and fill with the
same type of oil. We recom-
mend flushing the circuit.
Verify that charge pressure
is correct (closed circuits).
Check reservoir level and
top-off if necessary.
Figure 5 - Closed circuit cleaning
Closed Circuit Cleaning
Procedure
Hydrostatic transmission
circuits must be cleaned
without load for a period
of one hour. Afterwards,
remove system pressure
hoses from port connections
A and B on the motor and
connect them together
so as to short circuit the
pump. Insert a filter in series
(working pressure: 50 bar
EATON Bent Axis Piston Motor - Variable Displacement E-MOPI-MC005-E1  March 2011
[750 psi]) on the connection
A of the pump. Make sure
the direction of rotation of
the pump ensures the flow
as shown by the arrows.
If necessary insert a non-
return valve. A 10 mm filter
in series is recommended.
Maintenance
Replace filter after first 50
hours of operation, and then
every 500 hours.
Change oil after first
500 hours of operation.
Subsequently change oil
every 2,000 hours.
Maintenance intervals
should be reduced when the
filter indicator shows that
the filter is dirty or when
the system is operated
in an especially dusty
environment.
