I need a large hydraulic motor

In summary, the conversation is about finding a large hydraulic motor with specific torque and speed requirements. The use of two motors in-line is also discussed as a potential solution. A specific motor, the Baldor HPM3710T, is mentioned but it is noted that it may not be suitable due to its size.

Hi
Would someone please be able to help?
I am based in the UK
We need a large hydraulic motor... 6000 metres of torque with a speed of 1800 or 1500 RPM
If two motors were in-line would this achieve our goal?
Many thanks for your interest.

Is that 6000 Newton metres = 6k N⋅m
Why do you need it, what will it drive? Are you replacing a big electric motor?
What pressure is the hydraulic fluid. What type of fluid will you use?
Do you have a 1.2 MW power supply?

Provided the shaft can handle the torque.
 

What is a hydraulic motor?

A hydraulic motor is a mechanical device that converts hydraulic pressure into rotational motion, usually used to power heavy machinery or equipment.

What is considered a "large" hydraulic motor?

The definition of a large hydraulic motor can vary depending on the industry, but generally, it is considered to be a motor with a displacement of over 500cc.

How does a hydraulic motor work?

A hydraulic motor works by using pressurized fluid to generate torque and rotational motion. The fluid is typically oil-based and is forced into the motor's chambers, causing the motor shaft to rotate.

What are the advantages of using a hydraulic motor?

Some advantages of using a hydraulic motor include high power density, precise speed control, and the ability to handle heavy loads. They also have a long lifespan and require minimal maintenance.

What factors should be considered when choosing a large hydraulic motor?

Some important factors to consider when choosing a large hydraulic motor include the required torque and speed, the type of fluid being used, and the operating environment. It is also essential to consider the motor's efficiency and compatibility with the rest of the hydraulic system.
