Danfoss Gear Motors

Danfoss gear motors cover mobile and industrial applications across three product lines, GearMe, Rugid and Lumi, with aluminium and cast iron construction options and pressure ratings from 210 to 276 bar (3,000 to 4,000 psi).

The range includes standard gear motors, fan drive variants and ultracompact configurations across Group 1, 2 and 3 frame sizes.

Danfoss Gear Motor Series

GearMe – Aluminium Gear Motors: Aluminium gear motors for mobile applications from small to large off-road vehicles. Available in three frame sizes (Group 1, 2 and 3) covering displacements from 2.6 to 90 cm³/r, with pressure ratings up to 250 bar (3,625 psi). High-strength extruded aluminium housings, aluminium rear covers and front flanges. European and SAE flange options available. Fan drive variants are included in the range, covering fan loads up to 7.27 kg (16 lb) on Group 2 and 11.75 kg (26 lb) on Group 3. An ultracompact fan drive option is also available within the GearMe range.
Rugid – Aluminium Gear Motors: Die-cast aluminium gear motors for demanding mobile applications where power density and temperature resistance are a priority. Displacements from 7.0 to 31.7 cm³/r, pressure ratings up to 210 bar (3,000 psi). High efficiency over a wide temperature range. Highly polished shafts and gears improve mechanical efficiency and reduce component wear. Optimised trapped oil relief areas reduce pressure ripple for quieter operation. Integrated valve options available.
Rugid – Cast Iron Gear Motors: Cast iron gear motors for continuous operation in the most demanding environmental and temperature conditions. Displacements from 17.6 to 48.3 cm³/r, pressure ratings up to 276 bar (4,000 psi). The cast iron construction provides greater structural strength than aluminium for high-load applications.
Lumi – Standard Gear Motors: A product line for standard mobile and industrial applications. Cast iron flange and end cover for reliability. Pressure-balanced design adapts automatically to operating conditions to maintain sealing pressure, improving efficiency and minimising energy losses. Suited to applications requiring standard motor performance across a range of configurations.
