SUMMARY

To vary the speed of hydraulic motors powered by a constant output pump, a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is essential. Fixed geometry pumps do not allow for speed adjustments directly, making CVTs the only viable solution for achieving variable motor speeds while maintaining constant pump output. This method ensures efficient operation and adaptability in hydraulic systems.

If your constant output pump is fixed geometry and is being powered by a hydraulic motor that needs to very in speed then really the only way is with a CVT.
