Hydraulic motors used for heavy material conveyors demand rugged and reliable conveying system controls. These rely on precision-engineered fluid control valves. Bosch Rexroth and Hydraforce offer a range developed to meet the most challenging conveying conditions and applications. Whether it’s coal, ore, salt, or some other material that’s being moved, the conveyor is a key part of the operation. These material transport conveyors span long distances, both overground and underground. Operating in extreme temperatures and dry and dusty or very wet conditions, they must perform reliably and efficiently at all times.
For quarries, ports, power plants, and mines, hydraulic motors offer many advantages over electric drives. A hydraulic motor is more compact than an electric motor of equivalent performance and doesn’t need a gearbox or reducer. This compactness makes them especially attractive underground where they help keep galleries clear for workers and machinery. A hydraulic motor can even be integrated into the head pulley!
