What does a hydraulic motor do?

Hydraulic motors utilize pressurized fluids from a hydraulic pump to create force, including angular displacement and torque. When the fluid is directed to the hydraulic motor, it exerts pressure on the motor's gears, vanes, or pistons, causing the motor output shaft to turn.

Hydraulic Motor Types

Gear motors

known for their durability and ability to operate at high speeds, making them ideal for rotating equipment.

Vane motors

 are best suited for low-speed applications and are commonly used in industrial equipment like plastic injection molding machines.

Piston motors are typically employed in heavy-duty hydraulic industrial machinery.

These motors can be classified into two main categories: low-speed/high torque (LSHT) and high-speed/low torque (HSLT).
