The BMRB brake orbital hydraulic motor is a BMR shaft-distribution motor with an integrated spring-applied, hydraulically released brake. It comes in seven dimensioned displacements between 100 and 400 cc/rev, with 300 Nm brake torque and brake release starting at 21 bar.
It is used in industrial and mobile machinery drives that need a spring-applied brake. Holding and operating duty are confirmed for each machine before quotation.
Olive Branch Hydraulics manufactures hydraulic motors and pumps in Hebei, China. We supply EXW Hebei.
All data comes from our printed 2026 catalogue, pages 28-29. H is measured from the mounting face to the rear of the motor, not to the shaft tip.

BMRB370 (BMRB 370, BMRB-370) is listed in the ordering chart, but the catalogue gives no H or H1 for it. We quote it as a configuration enquiry against a confirmed drawing.
| Code | Type | Specification |
|---|---|---|
| F1 | Flange | Square, four holes Ø11, pilot Ø80 mm |
| F2 | Flange | Diamond, two holes Ø13.5, pilot Ø82.55 mm |
| A1 | Shaft | Ø25 parallel, key 8×7×32 |
| A2 | Shaft | Ø25 spline, 25×21×6 |
| A3 | Shaft | Ø20 parallel, key 6×6×32 |
| A4 | Shaft | SAE 6B spline |
| A5 | Shaft | Ø25.4 parallel, key 6.35×6.35×32 |
| P1 | Ports | G1/2 + G1/4 |
| P2 | Ports | 7/8-14 O-ring + 7/16-20 UNF |
| P3 | Ports | 1/2-14 NPTF + G1/4 |
| P4 | Ports | M18×1.5 + M14×1.5 |
| P5 | Ports | M22×1.5 + M14×1.5 |
Flange, shaft and pilot dimensions follow the BMR reference noted on page 28. The confirmed BMRB drawing issued with your quotation is what governs final compatibility.
We manufacture in Hebei and supply EXW Hebei. Configuration and commercial terms are confirmed in writing in each quotation.
Not automatically. BMR-BK01, BMRBK01, BM2 brake, B-MR and OMR brake are related product terms, not guaranteed exact interchanges. Send the full nameplate and original part code, and we will check flange, shaft, ports and length against the BMRB drawing.
It depends on your load, gear ratio and duty. 300 Nm is the catalogue brake torque, and holding-duty suitability requires the load and service factor. Dynamic braking must not be approved solely from this brake-torque figure.
Release starts at 21 bar and is complete at 33 bar. Each release takes 4.5 ml of oil.
The catalogue does not establish that combined continuous duty point. 200 bar is the maximum working pressure and 68 L/min is the maximum continuous flow; torque and speed for your displacement are confirmed per quotation.
BMRB370 is listed for configuration enquiry. The catalogue publishes no H or H1 for BMRB370, so fit is confirmed on a drawing issued with the quotation.
We supply EXW Hebei, China. MOQ, quantity tiers, lead time and packaging are confirmed in the written quotation for your configuration.
Send the displacement, flange, shaft and port codes, the quantity and your destination market, or simply a photo of the full nameplate. We will return an EXW Hebei quotation together with the confirmed BMRB drawing for that configuration.
Danfoss 2016 technical information page 45 identifies these OMR F G1 brake-motor codes. They are original-part identifiers for a replacement enquiry, not Olive Branch Hydraulics SKUs or confirmed BMRB interchanges. The source configuration uses a 25 mm cylindrical shaft, G1/2 side ports and G1/4 drain.
| Original OMR F nominal size | Original reference code |
|---|---|
| 100 | 151-6462 |
| 125 | 151-6463 |
| 160 | 151-6464 |
| 200 | 151-6465 |
| 250 | 151-6466 |
| 315 | 151-6467 |
| 375 | 151-6468 |
The original Danfoss brake is rated differently from the 300 Nm BMRB brake. Match the complete configuration, installed dimensions, control circuit, drain, shaft load and holding duty. OMR F 375 does not establish BMRB370 or BMRB400 equivalence; no BMRB400 original numeric code is inferred from this table. Plain BMR or OMR codes without a brake designation do not identify the brake assembly.
The unwatermarked BMR-BK01 photograph from Hymon Hydraulics is an independent series structure reference showing a keyed shaft, two-bolt flange, S-type ports and integrated rear brake. It does not prove the exact supplied displacement or configuration. Our 2026 catalogue pages 28–29 provide the BMRB brake dimensions and ordering options; the upper BMRH chart on page 29 belongs to a separate H-port motor series.
