Technical Information - Two Speed Motor
DISPLACEMENT CHANGEWhen a motor is shifted from full to partial displacement themotor is changed to 50%, 35%, or 28% of its originaldisplacement depending on its shift ratio.
STANDARD SHIFT RATIOThe standard 15 Series displacements of 15, 13, 9.5, 8, 7,and 6 CID are available in the 15 Series Two Speed with ashift ratio of 2:1. For example, a 15 CID motor shifted topartial displacement becomes a 7.5 CID motor.
SPECIAL SHIFT RATIOSThere are two special displacements available in the 15Series Two Speed which offer higher shift ratios, the 10.5and the 11.5 CID. The 10.5 CID motor has a shift ratio of3.5:1, which when shifted becomes a 3 CID motor. The 11.5CID motor has a shift ratio of 2.875:1, which when shiftedbecomes a 4 CID motor.
SHIFTING METHODSelecting between full and partial displacement isaccomplished by shifting the two-position spool valveincorporated in the motor. Motors are available in eithersingle or double pilot configurations.
SINGLE PILOTSingle pilot motors require a pilot line to be connected to port"C". When port "C" is pressurized the spool shifts the motorto partial displacement. When port "C" is vented to tank, aninternal spring shifts the spool, returning the motor to fulldisplacement.
DOUBLE PILOTDouble pilot motors require two pilot lines. One line isconnected to port "C" while the other line is connected toport "D". The motor is in full displacement when port "D" ispressurized and port "C" is vented to tank. The motor is inpartial displacement when port "C" is pressurized and port"D" is vented to tank.
OPEN DURING CROSSOVER SPOOLSOpen during crossover spools allow port "A" to be directlyconnected to port "B" when the spool is shifting between fulland partial displacement. Motors with -62 or -65 designationsare open during crossover.WARNING! IN SOME WINCH APPLICATIONS, OPENDURING CROSSOVER SPOOLS (-62 or -65) ARE NOTRECOMMMENDED.
CLOSED DURING CROSSOVER SPOOLSClosed during crossover spools do not allow port "A" to bedirectly connected to port "B" when the spool is shiftingbetween full and partial displacement. Motors with -63 or -67designations are closed during crossover. These motorscontain an internal factory preset relief valve. This valveprotects the motor during shifting only and is not a systemrelief valve.
PILOT PRESSUREA minimum of 100 PSI over case drain pressure is required toshift the spool. The maximum allowable pressure to port "C" or"D" is 3,500 PSI.
SHIFT ON THE RUNThe 15 Series Two Speed Motor may be shifted on the runwhile loaded or unloaded.
MAXIMUM SPEEDMaximum rated speed is the same for either full or partialdisplacement as stated in the performance data.
CASE DRAIN AND CROSS PORT LEAKAGEThe combined case drain and cross port leakage of the 15Series Two Speed Motor is approximately 1 GPM per 1,000PSI. This will vary with the oil viscosity.

Technical Information - All Styles
VANE CROSSING VANEThe Rineer patented vane crossing vane design producesmuch higher volumetric and mechanical efficiencies than ispossible with a standard vane type design. This designprovides a sealing vane between cavities to improvemechanical and volumetric efficiencies.
STARTING AND STALL TORQUEThe Rineer motor produces torque curves which are virtuallyflat, with starting and stall torque equal to approximately 90-94% of theoretical torque.
MORE POWER STROKES PER REVOLUTIONThe 15 Series has four stator cavities and 10 rotor vanes.Each rotor vane works in each stator cavity once perrevolution, which results in 40 power strokes per revolution.This helps produce higher mechanical efficiency and flattertorque curves.
BEARING LOADINGThe bearings in the 15 Series can accept radial load per theradial capacity chart. Thrust load is not recommended undermost conditions. Consult with a Rineer Application Engineerfor optional bearing configurations to match your application.
SEALSBuna N seals are supplied as standard on the Rineer 15series motors. Viton seals may be ordered as an option.
ROTATING GROUP - 1S or 1HUnder most operating conditions, 1S (standard rotatinggroup parts) should be used. Under some high speedconditons 1H can be specified.
ROTATIONThe 15 Series Motor rotates equally well in either directionand smoothly throughout its entire pressure and speedrange. Looking into the end of the shaft, rotation is clockwisewhen oil is supplied to port "A".
HORSEPOWER LIMITATIONMaximum horsepower limitations may vary with differentapplications. When using the 15 Series Motor above 75HP, consult a Rineer Application Engineer.
FILTRATION25 micron minimum.
FLUIDWe suggest premium grade fluids containing high quality rust,oxidation and foam inhibitors, along with anti-wear additives.For best performance, minimum viscosity should bemaintained at 100 SSU or higher. Fluid temperature should notexceed 180O F. Elevated fluid temperature will adversely affectseal life while accelerating oxidation and fluid breakdown. Fireresistant fluids may be used with certain limitations. ContactRineer for additional information.
CASE DRAINThe 15 Series Motor is designed for either internal or externalcase drain. Two case drain ports are supplied. When usinginternal case drain, simply plug the two ports. When usingexternal case drain, use the port at the highest elevation. Werecommend case drain pressure of 35 PSI or less when usingthe standard seals.
CASE DRAIN CIRCULATIONFluid should be circulated through the case when atemperature differential exists between the motor and thesystem in excess of 50O F. Should this occur, contact aRineer Application Engineer.
MOUNTINGThe mounting position is unrestricted. The shafts, pilots, andmounting faces should be within .002 TIR.
INTERMITTENT CONDITIONSIntermittent conditions are to be less than 10% of every minute.

Technical Information - Retractable Shaft Motor
RETRACTING THE SHAFTThe shaft is spring loaded into the engaged position. Pullingon the knob attached to the shaft at the rear of the motor willmove the shaft 1.25 inches into the motor.CAUTION: Retracting the shaft must be done when themotor and driven mechanism are not in operation andare unloaded.
RETAINING SHAFT IN RETRACTED POSITIONThe shaft is retained in the retracted position by inserting a2.0 inch wide spacer between the rear housing and the knobattached to the shaft. Depending on the application andmounting position of the motor, the spacer design may vary.Spacers are not supplied with the motor.
RE-ENGAGING THE SHAFTThis is accomplished by releasing the shaft, then rotating itclockwise until the splines of the shaft line up and engage thesplines of the driven mechanism.CAUTION: Re-engaging the shaft must be done when themotor and driven mechanism are not in operation and areunloaded.
BEARING LOADINGThe 15 series Retractable is not suitable for applications whichrequire radial or axial loading of the shaft.
MOUNTINGThe mounting position is unrestricted. CAUTION: The shaftextension and knob at the rear of the motor rotates whenthe motor is in operation.

1) Remove the rotor.2) Remove both the rotor and stator vanes.3) Note: On motors manufactured prior to 1987, rotor vane slots and rotor vanes should be numbered so that vanes can be reassembled in the same vane slot.
Inspect all springs and seals. We recommend replacement of all seals and springs whenever the motor has been disassembled.
Inspect all parts and replace any parts which obviously show excessive wear or damage.
VANES: Normal wear results in slight flattening of vane tips which does not impair motor performance. Replace vane if radius is reduced by 50%.Clearance between the rotor vane and rotor vane slot varies with the vane selection. The design allows the vane to "lean" slightly in the slot, providing the required mechanical seal.
Note: Measure the rotor and stator length to the fourth decimal point and supply measurement when ordering rotor, stator, or vanes.
STATOR: Normal wear results in polishing of cam form which does not impair motor performances.Noticeable wear may be apparent along the corner of one side of the staor vane slot. This does not necessarily require replacement of the stator, but may slightly affect volumetric efficiency.
ROTOR: Normal wear results in polishing of rotor faces which does not impair motor performance.Examine the rotor vane slots closely. Polishing down in the slots is normal, but if there is any indication of a "pocket" forming in the wall of the slot, the rotor should be replaced.
PLATES: Normal wear results in marking of timing plates which does not impair motor performance.Replacement of the timing plate is required if any smearing, galling, or heat cracks are present.

Pilot-to-open check valve with standard pilotCapacity:
30gpm (120 L/min.)
Functional Group:Products : Cartridges : Pilot-to-Open Check Valve : 3-Port, Non-Vented : StandardPilot, Steel Seat
Model:
CKEB
Product DescriptionThis valve is a pilot to open check valve. It has a non-sealed pilot, a steel seat, and is non-vented. It allows free flow from the valve (port 2) to the load (port 1) and blocks flow in theopposite direction. Pressure at the pilot (port 3) will open the valve from port 1 to port 2. Pilotpressure needed at port 3 to open the valve is directly proportional to the load pressure at port1. Pressure at port 2 directly opposes pilot pressure.
Technical Features Provides hose break protection,
prevents loads from drifting andpositively locks pressurized loads.
Standard unsealed pilot allows airtrapped in the pilot line to be purgedfrom the circuit.
Extremely low leakage. The seat andpoppet are heat treated for long life. Ifthe load drifts due to the valve, the seathas probably been damaged bycontamination and the valve should bereplaced.
Optional external porting out of the hexend of the cartridge is available forexternal piloting. In this configuration,port 3 is blocked. See Control optionsE, and P.
Pilot-to-open check cartridges arelocking valves, not motion controlvalves. For motion control applications,
This 3 port pilot-to-open check valveand 3 port counterbalance valves arephysically interchangeable (i.e. same

Pilot-to-open, spring biased closed, unbalancedpoppet logic element
Capacity:60 gpm (240 L/min.)
Functional Group:Products : Cartridges : Corrosion Resistant : Logic Element : Unbalanced Poppet,Pilot-to-open, Switching Element, Spring biased closed, External Pilot Port 3pilot source
Model:
LKHC
Product DescriptionThese unbalanced poppet, logic valves are 2-way switching elements that arespring-biased closed. Pressure at either work port 1 or 2 will further bias thevalve to the closed position while pressure at port 3 will tend to open it. Theforce generated at port 3 must be greater than the sum of the forces acting atport 1 and port 2 plus the spring force for the valve to open. NOTE: The pilotarea (port 3) is 1.8 times the area at port 1 and 2.25 times the area at port 2.
Technical Features Because these valves are unbalanced,
operation is pressure dependent.Opening and closing of the poppet arefunctions of the force balances on threeareas: 1) Port 1 = 100%, Port 2 = 80%,and Port 3 = 180%.
These valves are pressure responsiveat all three ports, therefore it isessential to consider all aspects ofsystem operation through a completecycle. Pressure changes at any oneport may cause a valve to switch from aclosed to an open position, or viceversa. All possible pressure changes inthe complete circuit must be consideredto assure a safe, functional systemdesign.

Pilot operated, balanced piston relief valve Capacity:12 gpm (45 L/min.)
Functional Group:Products : Cartridges : Relief : 2 Port : Pilot Operated, Balanced Piston
Model:RPCC-KAN
Product DescriptionPilot-operated, balanced-piston relief cartridges are normally closed pressureregulating valves. When the pressure at the inlet (port 1) reaches the valvesetting, the valve starts to open to tank (port 2), throttling flow to regulate thepressure. These valves are accurate, have low pressure rise vs. flow, they aresmooth and quiet, and are moderately fast.
Download
Technical FeaturesWill accept maximum pressure at port 2; suitablefor use in cross port relief circuits. If used in crossport relief circuits, consider spool leakage.
The main stage orifice is protected againstcontamination.
Minimum setting is 75 psi (5 bar) for all springranges.
All 2-port relief cartridges (except pilot reliefs) arephysically and functionally interchangeable (sameflow path, same cavity for a given frame size).
Not suitable for use in load holding applicationsdue to spool leakage.
Incorporates the Sun floating style construction tominimize the possibility of internal parts bindingdue to excessive installation torque and/orcavity/cartridge machining variations.
Back pressure on the tank port (port 2) is directlyadditive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio.
