Yes. Hydraulics Online supplies Char‑Lynn hydraulic components globally and provides full export documentation and technical support.

Char-Lynn Hydraulics

Hydraulics Online Motor Expertise: Char-Lynn low, medium and high pressure hydraulic motors with technical support available

Char‑Lynn is one of the most established names in low speed high torque hydraulic motor technology.

The brand was created by hydraulic engineer Lynn Charlson and is now fully supported within Danfoss Power Solutions. Char‑Lynn motors are widely used in mobile machinery, agricultural equipment, construction machinery, forestry equipment and industrial systems that require smooth, reliable torque at low speeds.

Char‑Lynn motors are built around the Orbit Principle, a design approach that delivers high power density, compact size and efficient torque output. The range includes spool valve motors, disc valve motors and VIS (Valve In Star) motors, along with specialised series for high pressure, high flow and compact installations. These motors are available in a wide selection of displacements, mounting options, shaft types and port configurations, making them suitable for a broad range of applications.

Danfoss continues to develop and support the Char‑Lynn product family. Current offerings include the J, H, S and T-series spool valve motors; the 2000, 4000, 6000 and 10,000 series disc valve motors; the Delta series with integrated brake options; and the VIS 40 and VIS 45 motors for compact, high-performance systems. Additional technologies include speed sensors, two speed options and specialised orbital motors for track drives, swing drives and heavy-duty mobile applications.

Hydraulics Online supplies the full range of Char‑Lynn hydraulic motors and provides technical support for both current and legacy units. Whether you need a direct replacement, a modern equivalent or help identifying an older Char‑Lynn motor, our team can assist with expert advice and worldwide delivery.

Char‑Lynn Hydraulic Product Overview
