HM Model Reference
HMR3-100 — HM's closest model in the 1,075 Nm class
This reference sits in the 1,075 Nm class. The closest HM model is HMR3-100 — Helical, L10-style compact front flange — matched on torque class only. The left column repeats what this reference's own record states, reproduced as published; the right column is HM's own rating. The table shows what carries over and what still has to be checked on your unit.

Left column: this reference's own published figures, reproduced as recorded. Any field the record does not establish is marked “Not verified” and is never filled from HM data. Right column: HM's own rating at HM's stated pressure. Confirm both against the unit nameplate and mounting drawing before ordering.
What carries over
- HM torque class (1,075 Nm) at HM's 210 bar rating.
- Helical, L10-style compact front flange architecture.
- Rotation: 180/360° available on the HMR3 series. A 180/90 code is a 180° unit with the stop set at 90°, not a separate build.
What has to be verified
- Shaft / output flange interface and spline.
- Mounting bolt pattern and pilot register.
- Port size and position, plus valve arrangement (NV / CB / CS).
- Overall envelope and tie-rod clearance.
Comparable performance based on rated torque class for engineering comparison. The mounting interface must be confirmed by our engineering team before quotation.
Code anatomy
What each part of this code means
Every segment below is read from the manufacturer’s published ordering key. Where a segment is not published, we say so instead of guessing — those are the ones to confirm from the tag or the drawing before ordering.
L10-9.5-M-RF-185-S-C-H
L10 series
| Segment | Field | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| L10 | Series | L10 series — frame size and mounting family |
| 9.5 | Model size | Size 9.5 — rated drive torque is set by this number (thousand in-lb class in the L/T key) |
| M | Measurement system | Metric system — metric threads, BSPP ports |
| RF | Housing / mounting | Rear flange |
| 185 | Rotation | Non-standard rotation angle (185°) — special build |
| S | Shaft / flanges | Shaft code not in the published ordering key — confirm against the tag or drawing |
| C | Valve | Counterbalance valve fitted |
| H | Seals and bearings | Standard seals and bearings |

What the 185° sweep changes on this build
A non-standard sweep: 185° sits outside the usual 180° / 360° range, which means the stop tube was cut for that angle. A standard-angle unit will not reproduce it, and the stop positions have to be read off the drawing rather than assumed.
- Read the stop positions off the mounting drawing before ordering — do not infer them from the code alone.
- Ask why the original used this sweep; a non-standard angle usually answers a linkage constraint that a standard unit will not fit.
- Confirm the sweep on the unit tag matches the code, since special builds are sometimes re-stopped in service.
When this sweep is the right build
- Linkages whose geometry was designed around this exact sweep — the stop positions usually answer a clearance or interference constraint.
- Rebuild work where the surrounding mechanism has to stay unchanged, so the sweep cannot be normalised to 180° or 360°.
- OEM builds where the sweep was specified by the machine maker rather than chosen from a catalogue.
Confirming the sweep on the machine
- Measure the swing between the mechanical end stops on the machine, not between the positions the linkage happens to use.
- Compare the measured swing with the code on the tag; special builds are sometimes re-stopped in service.
How the sweep sits in the order code
The sweep is the fifth segment of the code, and here it carries a value outside the standard range. That value is a build instruction, not a selection from a list: it has to travel with the enquiry together with the stop positions, because the stop tube is cut for it.
Where these two builds get mixed up
- A full-turn unit is sometimes quoted where the linkage only swings half a turn, which over-travels the hose loop for no benefit.
- If a full-turn unit will not pass a quarter or half turn under load, the cause is usually hose routing or an external stop, not the actuator.
We do not publish a conversion table between sweeps. If the sweep on your unit differs from the code above, send the tag and the mounting drawing and the build is confirmed against them.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What does the L10-9.5-M-RF-185-S-C-H replace?+
It is the model code for a Helac helical rotary actuator providing 185° rotation in the 26 kg class. It is listed by Atlas under part number 9106178448. Our alternative is matched to the same rotation, 26 kg class and mounting interface.
How do I know this fits my machine?+
The same actuator is recorded on the Boomer 353. Before quoting we confirm the mounting face, port position and rotation against the tag and a photo of your unit, so the replacement matches your exact build.
What other order codes are available in this same series?+
Other catalog configurations of the same actuator family include: L10-9.5-E-RF-180-S1-C-H; L10-9.5-E-RF-360-S1-C-H. These are complete Helac order codes differing in rotation angle, ports, valve or mounting/flange arrangement; they are not interchangeable with the configuration shown on this page. Send the exact code on your unit tag or a mounting drawing and we confirm the matching build before quoting.
Will part 9106178448 fit my Boomer 353?+
Yes. On the Atlas Copco / Epiroc Boomer 353 face-drill rig the rotation actuator is supplied under part number 9106178448, corresponding to the Helac L10-9.5-M-RF-185-S-C-H configuration (185-degree rotation with integral counterbalance valve). Before ordering we confirm the mounting face, port position and rotation against the tag and a photo of your unit.
Why is the exact HM model and price not shown?+
We confirm the HM model per inquiry after verifying the interface and operating parameters with you. This avoids shipping a part that looks right by model name but differs in mounting or rotation. Price is provided with that confirmed quote.
