SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the feasibility of achieving 6000 Newton metres of torque using two in-line hydraulic motors operating at speeds of 1800 or 1500 RPM. Participants emphasize the importance of ensuring that the shaft can handle the required torque. The Baldor HPM3710T hydraulic motor is mentioned as a potential option, though it is noted that it appears to be a smaller electric motor. Key considerations include the hydraulic fluid pressure and the power supply capacity of 1.2 MW.
