CHAR-LYNN
CHAR-LYNN is a brand of hydraulic components, primarily known for its low-speed, high-torque hydraulic motors and cartridge valves. The brand originated in the United States and has been a part of the Eaton (now Danfoss Power Solutions) portfolio for decades, though it continues to be marketed under the CHAR-LYNN name for specific product lines. The core product families include the H Series and S Series rotary actuators (hydraulic motors), solenoid-operated cartridge valves, and associated seal kits. These components are used in applications requiring precise rotary motion control, such as agricultural machinery, construction equipment, industrial material handling, and mobile hydraulics. CHAR-LYNN motors are characterized by their gerotor or geroller design, which provides smooth operation at low speeds with high torque output. The H Series motors typically offer higher pressure ratings (up to 2,050 psi in the listed SKUs) and higher maximum RPM (up to 953 RPM), while the S Series motors are designed for lower speed applications (up to 304 RPM) with pressure ratings up to 1,850 psi. Both series are available with SAE A 2-Bolt or 4-Bolt mounting flanges, with displacements ranging from 3.6 cu in/rev to 73.74 cu cm/rev. The cartridge valves, such as the SV1-16-CM model, are two-way, normally closed solenoid valves with a C-16-2 cavity size and nitrile seals, suitable for hydraulic systems requiring reliable on/off control. Seal kits are available for maintenance and repair, with part numbers like 61334-000 and 9901156-000. 3G Electric stocks over 338 SKUs of CHAR-LYNN products, providing datasheets and logistics support for global procurement. Engineers and maintenance managers can select from a range of displacements, pressure ratings, and mounting configurations to match specific system requirements. The brand's long history in the hydraulics industry means replacement parts and technical documentation are widely available, supporting both new installations and legacy equipment.
