The first of the Thorx family of cam lobe motors is the CLM 8 S motor. Designed for construction machinery with chain drives, such as skid steer loaders, the compact motor offers better performance, higher efficiency, and longer lifetime than other cam lobe motors.
The Thorx motor features newly developed two-speed technology, which offers 70% shock reduction when shifting speeds compared to other cam lobe motors. The technology delivers smoother speed changeover with a consistent, quick response time, even at low temperatures, resulting in good machine handling and better operator comfort. The motor also produces less noise when shifting, further improving comfort.
Compact construction is another considerable advantage of the Thorx CLM 8 S motor. By integrating the parking brake rather than bolting it to the rear, the motor is shorter in length than similar products. The smaller size results in easier integration and assembly while enabling the use of larger, longer-lasting chains.
Thorx motors utilize a proven brake design that has been optimized to withstand 100 dynamic emergency stops throughout a machine’s lifetime. The Thorx CLM 8 S motor offers 5% higher efficiency than other cam lobe motors, with better starting efficiency and performance at low rotations per minute and improved mechanical efficiency at high speed.
