5  About this product

5.1  Performance description

An axial piston fixed motor converts hydrostatic flow into mechanical rotation. It is 
designed for mobile and stationary applications.
Refer to data sheets 91071 and 91072, and the order confirmation for the technical 
data, operating conditions and operating limits of the axial piston unit.

5.2  Product description

The fixed motor is available in the A2FM standard version and the A2FE plug-in 
version. The A2FM/A2FE is a fixed motor with an axial tapered piston rotary group 
with a bent-axis design for hydrostatic drives in open and closed circuits. The A2FMT 
is a fixed motor with an axial tapered piston rotary group with a bent-axis design 
for closed-circuit hydrostatic drum drives in concrete mixer trucks. In axial piston 
units with a bent-axis design, the pistons (2) are arranged at an angle to the drive 
shaft (1). The pistons rest directly on the drive shaft where they generate torque 
depending on the pressure.
In an open circuit, the hydraulic fluid flows from the reservoir to the hydraulic pump, 
where it is transported to the hydraulic motor. The hydraulic fluid flows from the 
hydraulic motor directly back to the reservoir. The output direction the hydraulic 
motor can be changed with a directional valve.
In the closed circuit, the hydraulic fluid flows from the hydraulic pump to the 
hydraulic motor, then directly back to the hydraulic pump. The output direction of 
the hydraulic motor can be changed, e.g. by reversing the flow direction in the 
hydraulic pump.
