Brake System Overview – Rol Seal

Hydraulic Motor BrakesAll Rol-Seal® motors can be equipped with a rear-mounted, normally-on, wet friction disc brake.

  • Prevents creep under high static loads caused by system leakage
  • Provides positive locking of the motor shaft when required
  • Ideal for applications requiring secure load holding

Brake Specifications

  • Maximum Release Pressure: 3000 PSI
  • Oil Volume: 0.6 in³ for full release
  • Minimum Holding Capacity: Based on model and release pressure
  • Chart data assumes use of mineral-based oil

Minimum Holding Capacity

At 250 PSI Release Pressure

  • Model 222: 940 lb-in
  • Model 223: 1410 lb-in
  • Model 224: 1885 lb-in
  • Model 226: 2820 lb-in
  • Model 228: 3760 lb-in
  • Model 220: 5170 lb-in

At 125 PSI Release Pressure

  • Model 233: 705 lb-in
  • Model 234: 940 lb-in
  • Model 236: 1410 lb-in
  • Model 238: 1885 lb-in
  • Model 230: 2585 lb-in

Brake System Overview – Axial Vane

Optional Brake Feature – Axial Vane Motor

The Von Ruden axial vane motor offers an optional rear-mounted, normally-on, wet friction disc brake.

  • Prevents creep under high static loads caused by system leakage
  • Provides positive locking of the motor shaft when required
  • Designed for applications requiring secure load holding

Performance & Design Considerations

  • Brake torque capacity must not exceed the torque capacity of the driven device
  • Intended for holding applications where stability and safety are critical

Case Drain Requirements

  • Equipped with a case drain connection
  • Drain line must return flow to reservoir
  • Maximum surge pressure: 25 PSI
  • Optional seals available for case drain pressures up to 250 PSI

Brake Specifications

  • WK² (Inertia): 2.6 lb-in²
  • Oil Volume for Release: 0.6 in³
  • Holding capacities based on:
    • No back pressure in release line
    • Use of mineral-based hydraulic oil
  • For high holding torque applications, factory consultation is recommended

Holding Capacities

  • Model 222 / 222S: 940 lb-in / 470 lb-in
  • Model 223 / 223S: 1410 lb-in / 705 lb-in
  • Model 224 / 224S: 1885 lb-in / 940 lb-in
  • Model 225 / 225S: 2355 lb-in / 1177 lb-in
