Calculations for LMP for certain RPM of hydraulic motor

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The calculation of liters per minute (LPM) for a hydraulic motor at a specific RPM is determined solely by the motor's displacement and the desired RPM. The pressure of the oil in the circuit does not influence the flow rate calculation, as hydraulic oil is treated as incompressible in practical applications. Torque is directly influenced by the pressure, confirming that while RPM is a function of LPM, pressure plays a critical role in torque generation.

If I want the output of a hydraulic motor to be of a specific RPM, then knowing the pressure of the oil in the circuit, how does one calculate the LPM of the pump corresponding to that RPM?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
The flow in LPM is set by the RPM of the motor and its displacement. The pressure does not enter into the calculation, as the oil is incompressible for all practical purposes.
 
So RPM of the motor depends only on the LPM of the oil?
And pressure is the deciding factor in the torque, right?
