Connecting an Electric Motor to a Hydraulic Pump with FLEXILOCK

When an electric motor drives a hydraulic pump, the connection needs to suit both pieces of equipment. The motor shaft and mounting face, pump shaft and flange, and space between them all influence the final arrangement.

OEM Dynamics uses FLEXILOCK to develop electric motor to hydraulic pump drive solutions around the requirements of the application. The bell housing provides the connection between the motor and pump mounting faces and encloses the coupling components.

Start with the motor and pump

The first step is to review the motor and pump details together. Shaft dimensions, mounting arrangements and operating requirements help determine the components needed for the connection.

This application led to a FLEXILOCK arrangement comprising a motor interface, enclosed coupling and pump mounting connection. Our video shows how the components come together.
