    * These products have a cylindrical shaft with keyway input.  All others require a spline shaft input.

We offer these without hydraulic or electric motors since most customers prefer to use the same motor brand throughout their machine.   For OEMs with high volume applications we can offer the complete system with hydraulic motor.
