Both are low speed, high torque orbital motors and they bolt up the same way. The difference is inside, and it decides how long the motor lasts.
Gerotor (MP, MM, HP, PL series)
What is inside: A gear set slides against the stator. Simpler build, lower cost.
Suited to: Fans, augers, sweeper brushes and conveyors. Lighter duty, intermittent running.
Geroler (MR, MLHR, RL, MH series - including this motor)
What is inside: Hardened rollers sit in the stator pockets, so the contact rolls rather than slides.
Suited to: More torque from the same frame size, much less internal wear, and it holds up running continuously under pressure. Winches, wheel and track drives, augers that work all day.
If you are replacing a motor that kept wearing out in the same job, moving from a gerotor to a geroler at the same displacement is usually the fix.
The M+S MR Series is a roll-Geroler hydraulic motor — the gear set carries rollers on the star instead of fixed lobes, which cuts internal friction, lifts the continuous pressure rating to 175 bar on most sizes and gives noticeably smoother torque at crawl speeds than a plain Gerotor. It is the direct bolt-on replacement for the Danfoss OMR, Bosch Rexroth MGR/GMR, Brevini BRE, White WR (255) and Zhenjiang BMR.
M+S Hydraulic has been engineering hydraulic motors in Europe since 1963. If your machine needs more than a Gerotor can give — higher pressure, longer duty cycles, slow-speed loads — the MR frame is the step up without changing your mounting.

Gerotor or Geroler? If your duty cycle is light and intermittent, the MP Gerotor does the job for less money. The MR earns its premium on machines that run all day, run slow under load, or run near the pressure limit — the rollers are what stops the gear set scuffing in exactly those conditions.
Needle bearings. The MRN needle-bearing version is a factory order for side-loaded shafts — sprockets, pulleys, chain drives. Use the quote form and we will price it same-day.
Case drain. Always connect the case drain to tank with minimal back pressure — a blocked or missing drain line is the number one killer of shaft seals on orbital motors.
Running in. Fill with clean fluid and run at moderate load for 5 to 10 minutes before full pressure.

How orbital drive motors work — and how they fail. Recorded in our own service workshop; we rebuild these for a living.
We ship hydraulic components across Australia from warehouses in Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, and Western Australia. Because we sell solid steel components — cylinders, pumps, motors, fittings, and hose assemblies — freight costs reflect real weight and real distance. We do not hide freight costs in inflated product prices. What you see is what you pay.
Hydraulic components are manufactured from solid steel. A single motor can weigh between 6 and 10 kg depending on displacement. Freight costs vary by product weight, dimensions, and your delivery location. We have negotiated the best available carrier rates for our volume and absorb a portion of freight cost on every order.
Estimated delivery timeframes:
It is our intention to maintain active stock on every listed item at all times. On rare occasions, due to high demand or supply constraints, a size may be temporarily unavailable. If this occurs, you will be notified immediately and offered the choice of a full refund or a short wait for incoming stock — typically 3 to 14 days.
Two things to know before you order. The 200 bar (U) seal cannot be fitted together with needle bearings - pick one or the other, and if both are selected we will ring you before the order ships. And seal kits follow your mount and seal, not just the series: a standard 150 bar MR takes MR-SKD, the square-mount version takes MRQ-SKD, and 200 bar motors take MR-SKU or MRQ-SKU. Give us your full motor code and we will send the right kit.
