Designed for demanding hydraulic applications, the Vickers 45M185A 1A20 is an M Series vane motor manufactured under the Eaton Vickers brand. Built from cast iron with Buna-N seals, it is suited for continuous-duty use in elevator scraper drives, hydrostatic drives, and auxiliary hydraulic circuits where consistent torque output and quiet operation are required.
The 45M Series design emphasizes reliable, long-lasting performance in mobile and industrial hydraulic systems. Quiet running characteristics make it a practical choice where noise is a consideration alongside functional requirements. The Buna-N seal construction provides compatibility with standard hydraulic fluids across a broad range of service conditions.

got a hydraulic setup where noise is a big deal. is the 45M185A 1A20 one of the quieter motors or is it pretty loud
Answer by: Customer Support on Dec 29, 2025, 1:13 PM
Quiet running is one of the stated characteristics of the 45M Series vane motor design, so it is a solid pick when you need consistent torque output without a lot of motor noise in the mix.

We run elevator scrapers pretty much around the clock out on the job, is this motor built to hold up under that kind of continuous use, or is it more of a light-duty unit?
Answer by: Customer Support on Nov 5, 2025, 11:36 AM
Continuous-duty operation is exactly what the 45M Series was built for. The cast iron construction handles the kind of sustained workload you're describing, and the motor is specifically listed for elevator scraper drive applications, so it's not a stretch to run it hard. Quiet operation is also part of what this series delivers, which tends to matter when equipment is running all shift long.
