Staged switch motor

Hydraulic motor with a larger number of displacement units, which are pooled into two or three groups and can be switched in order to achieve different displacement and therefore different speeds.

The system of staged switching motors is used primarily in the case of multi-stroke hydrostatic motors, but a vane pump construction has also become more common (Figure S 110).
