Positive-displacement output screen

Hydraulic motor

Inputs

Geometric positive-displacement volume per shaft revolution.
Pressure drop across the motor at the stated point, not a component pressure-rating check.
Steady inlet flow; the system circuit and leakage paths are not modeled.
User-entered percentage used only to screen shaft torque.
User-entered percentage used only to screen shaft speed.

Method

Formula, when it applies, and when it does not

Calculate ideal and actual torque, speed, hydraulic input power, and shaft output from motor displacement, pressure, flow, and efficiencies.

Ttheory = ΔpVd/(2π); Tdeclared = ηmTtheory; nideal = Q/Vd; ndeclar​ed = ηvnideal; Pshaft = Tω

When

  • Positive displacement
  • Steady state
  • User-entered efficiencies
  • No load matching

Don’t

  • This is a steady positive-displacement hydraulic-motor screen using user-entered displacement, pressure, flow, and efficiencies. It does not select a motor, evaluate starting torque, load matching, speed limits, pressure ratings, leakage beyond the declared efficiencies, fluid condition, temperature, cavitation, heat, braking, controls, structural mounting, system transients, or safety/compliance.
