ZF 0501.338.916 MOTOR | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 0501.338.916 MOTOR is a genuine OEM hydraulic motor designed for integration within ZF construction machinery transmissions. This component converts hydraulic pressure into mechanical rotational force, driving the transmission’s output shaft to propel heavy equipment. Positioned inside the transmission housing, it interfaces directly with the 4699101079: HOUSING assembly, which encloses and protects the motor from debris and thermal stress. The SKU 0501.338.916 ensures exact fitment for ZF powertrains, eliminating guesswork during rebuilds or replacements.

Symptoms of Failure

When the ZF 0501.338.916 motor begins to degrade, operators may notice these specific failure indicators:

• Intermittent drive loss or hesitation – The motor fails to maintain consistent torque, causing the machine to stall or surge during operation, especially under load.
• Hydraulic oil leaks around the motor seal – Worn internal seals allow pressurized fluid to escape, often pooling near the 0501329881: HOUSING COVER joint.
• Excessive noise or vibration – Grinding or whining sounds from the transmission indicate bearing wear or internal scoring within the motor assembly.
• Overheating of the transmission fluid – A failing motor generates excess friction, raising oil temperatures and accelerating degradation of the 0634306309: O-RING seals.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This genuine ZF motor is engineered for use in the following transmission models commonly found in construction machinery:

• ZF WG180 – Used in wheel loaders and graders
• ZF WG200 – Applied in heavy-duty dump trucks and excavators
• ZF WG150 – Found in compact construction equipment
• ZF WG310 – Designed for large-scale mining vehicles

Always verify your transmission serial number before ordering. The motor works in conjunction with the 0637885612: BREATHER to equalize internal pressure, preventing contamination ingress.
