Custom Overhung Load Adaptors

Custom Overhung Load Adaptors (OHLA®) prevent contamination of hydraulic fluid and eliminate premature hydraulic motor or pump failure due to overhung loads. Zero-Max OHLas are specifically designed to also seal out dirt and grime and to permit the removal of hydraulic motors/pumps for servicing without disrupting other critical components.  Custom Overhung Load Adaptors are offered in SAE and non-SAE standard sizing/mounting options to ensure the proper fit for any industrial application, including those in the forestry, agriculture, drilling, and road construction industries. In addition, Zero-Max OHLAs can be provided with various bearing options to meet a wide range of load and speed requirements.
