AI Thread Summary
Achieving 6000 Newton meters of torque at 1800 or 1500 RPM using two in-line hydraulic motors is feasible if the shaft can handle the torque. The discussion emphasizes the need for clarification on hydraulic fluid pressure and type, as well as the power supply requirements, specifically a 1.2 MW capacity. There is also a mention of a specific motor model, Baldor HPM3710T, though it was noted that it is a small electric motor. The overall consensus suggests that while two motors can theoretically meet the torque requirement, practical considerations regarding the system's design and components are crucial. Proper engineering assessments are necessary to ensure successful implementation.

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?

Check this motor Baldor HPM3710T.
Its hydraulic motor.

Provided the shaft can handle the torque.
