Very compact – much less space required than cylinders
Our hydraulic rotary actuators require considerably less installation space compared to conventional cylinders. This saves valuable space in vehicle design and enables more compact, efficient waste disposal systems – a clear advantage when faced with tight design specifications and complex superstructures.
Can assume bearing support
The integrated bearing function of the rotary actuators ensures stable and precise rotary movement. This eliminates the need for additional bearings or complex mounting elements, simplifying the design and increasing reliability. Moreover, support points required for cylinders are no longer necessary.
Larger rotation angles than cylinders
With our rotary actuators, significantly larger rotation angles are achievable compared to conventional cylinders. This flexibility offers more design freedom for handling and movement control of waste disposal vehicles.
Maintenance-free
Our rotary actuators are designed to be virtually maintenance-free. This reduces downtime and maintenance costs, providing substantial economic relief—especially in demanding applications worldwide.
Robust – no piston rods like cylinders that can be damaged
The absence of exposed piston rods makes our rotary actuators particularly robust and resistant to dirt, shocks, and mechanical stresses. In challenging waste disposal environments, this protection results in a long service life.
Consistent and equal torque in both rotation directions
Our rotary actuators deliver a constant, even torque in both directions—enabling precise, reliable movements without loss of power or imbalance. This enhances control and safety when operating waste disposal vehicles.
High adaptability via custom solutions
For over 55 years, we have been manufacturing rotary actuators precisely tailored to customer specifications—in size, shape, and performance. This ensures perfect integration into your specific vehicle configurations and optimal functionality.
Hydraulic Rotary Actuator M-DA-H F2
Compact, robust, and proven in heavy-duty continuous use.
The M-DA-H F2 was specially designed for the demanding requirements of waste disposal vehicles and has established itself over decades as a reliable partner in this market segment. With its small diameter and extremely compact design, the M-DA-H F2 is ideal for applications where space-saving integration and high performance are critical.
Maintenance-free
Thanks to its maintenance-free design—free of grease fittings or external lubrication points—the M-DA-H F2 significantly reduces maintenance efforts and increases vehicle availability. The hydraulic components are optimised to operate reliably and durably under the harshest conditions typical in waste management. The sealing systems are highly resistant to contaminants, dust, and moisture, ensuring safe and efficient torque transmission even after decades of use.
“German Engineering”
Technically, the M-DA-H F2 impresses with precise gearing quality and uniform torque in both directions, which not only improves controllability but also minimises mechanical stresses on the vehicle frame. The absence of piston rods makes the actuator especially robust against impacts and damage—an indispensable feature in harsh operating environments. Due to its compact design with small diameters, the M-DA-H F2 suits a wide range of design requirements and integrates flexibly into existing systems.
Experience That Matters!
With the M-DA-H F2, you choose a hydraulic rotary actuator that stands out with decades of experience, reliable technology, and highest quality standards—perfectly tailored to the needs of the international market.
