Danfoss Power Solutions' Thorx™ cam lobe motors

Equipped with an integrated parking brake, the Thorx motor boasts a 33% shorter length compared to other cam lobe motors, resulting in reduced spatial demands. Additionally, this motor reduces shock during speed transitions by 70%, enhancing machine maneuverability and operator comfort. Its optimized brake technology extends motor service life, lasting 20 to 25 times longer than competing motors. Another significant advantage of the Thorx CLM 8 S motor lies in its compact design. By integrating the parking brake directly, as opposed to attaching it to the rear, this motor achieves a 33% reduction in length compared to similar products, establishing itself as the most space-efficient drive solution in its category. This reduced size simplifies integration and assembly, facilitating the use of larger, more durable chains.

          The integrated parking brake in Thorx motors sets the bar for durability, boasting an extended service life. These motors utilize a well-proven brake design that has been fine-tuned to withstand 100 dynamic emergency stops over the course of a machine's lifetime, a performance that surpasses competitive cam lobe motors by 20 to 25 times. Furthermore, the Thorx CLM 8 S motor outperforms other cam lobe motors by delivering a 5% increase in efficiency. This advantage extends to improved starting efficiency and low RPM performance, as well as enhanced mechanical efficiency at high speeds. As a result, operators can achieve faster travel speeds or utilize less power while maintaining the same speed, all while minimizing energy wastage in the form of excess heat.
