DANFOSS H1 PUMPS AND MOTORS
Danfoss H1 Hydraulic Pumps & Motors – High-Efficiency Hydrostatic Power Solutions
Hydrostatic pumps and motors are at the heart of advanced mobile and industrial hydraulic systems, efficiently converting mechanical power to fluid power and back again. The Danfoss Power Solutions H1 series represents a proven family of high-performance piston pumps and motors engineered to deliver exceptional efficiency, robust reliability, and flexible control options for demanding applications.
At Neilson Hydraulics, we supply Danfoss H1 pumps and motors , offering technical support and product selection expertise.
What is the Danfoss H1 Family?
The Danfoss H1 family includes:
- Variable displacement axial piston pumps
- Variable and fixed displacement bent-axis motors
Both product types are designed around advanced hydrostatic technology to improve machine performance, efficiency, and total cost of ownership.

H1 Axial Piston Pumps – Versatile, High-Performance Power Units
Danfoss H1 pumps are variable displacement axial piston pumps built on a cradle swash-plate design for closed-circuit hydrostatic systems. These units offer a broad range of displacement sizes — from approximately 45 cm³/rev up to around 280 cm³/rev — making them suitable for a wide spectrum of mobile machinery and industrial equipment.
Key Advantages
- Wide displacement range — 14+ pump sizes available for application flexibility.
- PLUS+1® electronic control compatibility — supports electronic displacement control, feedback systems, and modern machine control architectures.
- Efficient hydrostatic design — integral servo control and optimized charge pump reduce control losses and improve total hydraulic system efficiency.
- Compact, lightweight package — easy integration and reduced space claim in machinery design.
Whether specified as a single pump or tandem configuration, H1 pumps are engineered for responsive control, high-power density, and reliable performance in closed-circuit systems on vehicles and industrial machines.

H1 Motors – Efficient Bent-Axis Hydraulic Drive Units
The H1 motor family includes both variable displacement bent-axis motors and the latest fixed displacement H1F motors designed for closed- and open-circuit hydrostatic drives.
Core Benefits of H1 Motors
- Proven H1 technology heritage — field-tested reliability and broad application history.
- High efficiency up to ~95 % (for fixed displacement models), reducing heat generation and improving fuel economy or energy usage in hydraulic systems.
- Compact design — power-dense construction enables machine designers to optimise space without compromising performance.
- Open- and closed-circuit suitability — flexible integration across different hydrostatic system topologies.
H1 motors are ideal for track drives, winches, variable-speed drives, and other high-power actuators where robust torque and efficient operation are critical.
Efficiency, Control & Productivity with H1
The H1 family has been engineered to improve overall hydraulic system efficiency, reduce wasted energy, and increase productivity. Advanced features include reduced mechanical losses, intelligent control options (including SIL 2 Automotive Control on some variants), and improved fuel economy for off-highway vehicles and machinery.
These capabilities make H1 components well-suited for demanding sectors such as construction, agriculture, material handling, and other mobile hydraulics applications where high performance and reliable operation are essential.
