EDEN PRAIRIE, MN – Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation has added a selection of factory nickel-plated models to its Char-Lynn line of spool valve motors. The new motors, available in the Char-Lynn H Series, S Series, and T Series, are ideal for food and beverage industry applications and other freshwater wash-down applications in which corrosion protection is critical.

“The entire body of the motors undergoes an electrolytic-plating process that meets food and beverage industry standards,” said Jason Dalebroux, Eaton Hydraulics Operations product manager – Char-Lynn Motors. “Many customers have been using third-party sources to nickel-plate standard Eaton Char-Lynn motors for these applications. Now they have a source of factory-plated motors covered by the Eaton Char-Lynn standard warranty and with a 15-day delivery lead time.”

Spool valve motors distribute fluid into and out of the Gerotor (H Series) or Geroler? (S and T Series) orbit gearset through valve slots machined into the output shaft. This design combines valving and hydrodynamic journal bearings into a common shaft design. These motors provide high torque at low speeds, and offer instant shaft reversal by simply changing the direction of input/output flow through the motor.
