HM Model Reference
HMR4-1000 — HM's closest model in the 10,700 Nm class
This reference sits in the 10,700 Nm class. The closest HM model is HMR4-1000 — Helical, L30-style heavy-duty — 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.

What carries over
- HM torque class (10,700 Nm) at HM's 210 bar rating.
- Helical, L30-style heavy-duty architecture.
- Rotation: 180/360° available on the HMR4 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.

L30 series
| Segment | Field | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| L30 | Series | L30 series — frame size and mounting family |
| 95 | Model size | Size 95 — rated drive torque is set by this number (thousand in-lb class in the L/T key) |
| E | Measurement system | English system — SAE/UNF threads, SAE ports |
| FT | Housing / mounting | Foot mount |
| 360 | Rotation | Standard 360° rotation |
| S1 | Shaft / flanges | Cantilever — shaft flange only (single) |
| C | Valve | Counterbalance valve fitted |
| H | Seals and bearings | Standard seals and bearings |
Full ordering key and how to read a tag: identifying a rotary actuator.
What the 360° sweep changes on this build
A full-turn build: the output sweeps a complete revolution. The hose loop and its clamping have to survive the whole sweep, which is why a full-turn unit is checked as a hose-routing question as well as a torque question.
- Check the hose loop clears the housing through the full revolution, not just at the rest position.
- Confirm the duty actually needs a complete turn — a half-turn build of the same size is the usual choice where it does not.
- Rotation stops, if the machine has them, sit outside the actuator and still have to be checked.
When this sweep is the right build
- Duties that genuinely index through a full revolution — rod handling, turret positioning, continuous swing.
- Linkages where the return path is part of the cycle rather than a reversal of the same half turn.
- Machines already built around a full-turn hose loop, where a half-turn unit would leave the routing over-travelled.
Confirming the sweep on the machine
- Turn the linkage through a full revolution by hand and watch the hose loop — a unit that binds at three quarters of a turn is a routing problem, not a torque problem.
- Check whether the machine has an external rotation stop; if it does, the sweep on the tag is not the limit the linkage actually uses.
How the sweep sits in the order code
The sweep is the fifth segment of the code. Going to the half-turn build of the same size changes that segment and the internal stop tube; flange, shaft and valve stay as they are. Where a machine only needs two positions, the half-turn build is the shorter hose route and the smaller envelope.
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.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What does the L30-95-E-FT-360-S1-C-H replace?+
L30-95-E-FT-360-S1-C-H is a 360° Helac L-series helical rotary actuator configuration derived from the Parker/Helac HY34-1001 ordering key and Helac L30 catalog, pp. 12 & 14. It is assembled per the catalog ordering rules rather than read from a specific nameplate, so the exact configuration and compatibility are confirmed against the original unit tag and mounting drawings; our alternative is matched only after that review. Send your tag code or a drawing and we confirm the exact build before quoting.
Is L30-95-E-FT-360-S1-C-H a confirmed factory order code?+
This configuration is derived from the Parker/Helac HY34-1001 ordering key (L30 frame, 95 = 9,500 in-lb class, E English/SAE, FT foot mount, 360° rotation, S1 single/cantilever flange, C counterbalance valve, H standard seals & bearings) and the published L30 performance data. It is a configuration assembled per the catalog rules, not an independently verified factory order code read from a nameplate. The exact configuration and compatibility are confirmed against the original unit tag and mounting drawings before we quote.
What is the difference between the 180° and 360° L30-95 builds?+
They share the same L30 frame and output torque (~10,735 Nm at 207 bar) but are different effective builds: the 360° unit displaces about 5,358.6 cm³ and weighs 204.1 kg, while the 180° unit displaces about 2,687.5 cm³ and weighs 163.3 kg; the straddle (double-flange) moment rating is also higher for the longer 360° body. They suit different travel, cycle-time and mounting-geometry requirements, so choose by the required rotation and confirm against the drawing rather than treating them as interchangeable.
Can I use the HKS M-DA-H-F10 200 / M-DA-H-F5 200 as a direct replacement?+
The HKS M-DA-H F10/M-DA-H-F5 200 is at a similar torque level, but it is built to HKS’s own frame and mounting dimensions, so a similar rating does not guarantee a fit. Send us your unit tag and mounting drawing — we overlay the flange, shaft, ports and rotation and confirm whether it is a suitable option for your machine.
Which mounting styles are available for the L30-95?+
The L30-95 base is offered in FT foot mount, FF front flange and RF rear flange housings, with S1 single-flange (cantilever) or S2 double-flange (straddle) shaft arrangements. This page covers the E-FT-360-S1-C-H build; send your tag code or a mounting drawing and we confirm the matching housing, flange and port arrangement.
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.
