BMH
Ice Breaker Truck
Hammering road ice at −20 °C — how the BMH reinforced orbital motor survives the shock loads of an ice breaker truck’s rotor drive.

Breaking compacted road ice is pure shock load: the rotor slams into hard ice, unloads on clear patches, and does it all in sub-zero temperatures where seals and bearings are at their weakest.
Motor roles in this machine
- BMH — rotor drive: Reinforced housing and shaft bearing system built for sustained radial shock — 425–910 N·m of breaking torque that keeps coming back. BMH reference →
- Cold-weather duty: Stable performance across the winter operating window, so the truck clears roads when it matters most.
