Worth Being Precise: Wheel Motors, Not Pumps
Poclain is a French manufacturer best known for its radial-piston hydraulic wheel motors — genuinely a different product category from the axial-piston pumps that dominate most of our range. The MS/MSE series drives everything from skid steers and drilling rigs to agricultural sprayers and port equipment, and PumpGrid supplies tested Poclain motors for operators across India.
Unlike most brands on this site, Poclain's core product is genuinely a motor, not a pump — the MS/MSE range are radial-piston, cam-lobe direct-drive wheel motors, engineered to deliver high torque directly at the wheel without needing a separate gearbox for speed reduction. This is why Poclain specs are expressed in torque (N.m) and displacement (cc) rather than the pressure/flow figures typical of a main system pump.
The MS/MSE range spans from compact MS02 (172-398cc, up to 2500 N.m) through to heavy-duty MS50-class motors, covering applications from skid steers and trenchers to drilling rigs, agricultural sprayers, and road-milling machines. Given this breadth, identifying your exact frame size and variant from the full nameplate code matters before ordering.
Poclain's full nameplate code (e.g., MS35-2-1B1-T50-2A10-5EJ0) encodes frame size, displacement variant, shaft type, and brake configuration all in one string. WhatsApp us the complete code from your motor's nameplate — a partial code risks an incorrect match.
| Series | Displacement Range | Max Torque | Max Pressure |
|---|---|---|---|
| MS02/MSE02 | 172-398 cc | 2,500 N.m | 400-450 bar |
| MS05/MSE05 | 260-750 cc | 4,770 N.m | 400-450 bar |
| MS08/MSE08 | 467-1,248 cc | 7,945 N.m | 400-450 bar |
| MS11/MSE11 | 730-1,687 cc | 10,700 N.m | 400-450 bar |
| MS18/MSE18 | 1,091-2,812 cc | 17,900 N.m | 400-450 bar |
Larger MS35/MS50-class motors and MG steerable wheel motors also available — WhatsApp your full nameplate code for confirmation.
We confirm your complete motor code before quoting — frame size, displacement variant, shaft type, and brake configuration all matter for correct fitment.
Poclain's radial-piston cam design wears at these specific points — inspected and replaced where wear exceeds spec, restoring torque output.
Every motor is tested at rated pressure with torque output documented on the written test report before dispatch.
Minimum 3-month warranty on all Poclain motors. Fleet operators ordering multiple units get volume pricing — ask at the quote stage.
