Is a Torque Arm Necessary for Installing a Radial Hydraulic Motor?

AI Thread Summary
A torque arm is generally recommended for the installation of a radial hydraulic motor to prevent excessive stress on the motor and its mounting. Relying solely on the flange connection may lead to misalignment or damage due to torque forces during operation. Specific details about the mounting design are crucial for assessing potential risks and providing accurate feedback. Without a torque arm, there could be increased wear and failure risks over time. Proper installation practices are essential for the longevity and performance of the hydraulic motor.

Hi, is it really needed to use a torque arm for installation of radial hydraulic motor? what if I only used its flange connection to put it in the system? is there any risk?
 
You need to be more specific about your planned mounting design to get any reasonable feedback.

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
