For the past 45 years, the Char-Lynn®‚ brand has been recognized as the industry leader in low- speed,high-torque (LSHT) hydraulic motor technology. The name Char-Lynn was coined by one of the original pioneers in the hydraulic industry, the late Mr. Lynn Charlson. The hydraulic motor designs developed by Lynn Charlson and his team use what is termed as the Orbit principle. This principal is the center of
the designs pioneered by the Char-Lynn team and
is based on the fact that a gerotor or Geroler®‚ star orbits multiple times (typically 6 to 8 times depending on specific star and ring geometry) for each complete single revolution within the outer ring. This principle is what gives Char-Lynn motors their reliable high
power density and extremely compact size.
