Small Hydraulic Motors
Small hydraulic motors are mechanisms that convert hydraulic energy into
mechanical energy that can be used to power various machines. Small
hydraulic motors have small stroke lengths, which is the distance that
the piston moves inside the cylinder to achieve its extended state.
When the hydraulic fluid is pumped into the bottom chamber of a small hydraulic cylinder, the piston rod is pushed up, pushing the hydraulic fluid in the other chamber back into the reservoir. This process pressurizes the chamber and extends the piston to its full length, giving the hydraulic cylinder its ability to push. In small hydraulic motors, the piston’s full measurement, or stroke length, may be less than an inch. Although they retain all of the capabilities of larger hydraulic
cylinders, small hydraulic motors are typically used in applications
requiring high precision, as in military operations or robotics. Regardless of the size of a hydraulic motor, there are certain considerations that must always be in thought through while building and before using one. Proper fluids must always be used, and checked for compatibility with the metal material of the motor. All of the relief valves should be checked, as well as the pump and fluid resevoirs. SUch precaustions while ensure that a hydraulic motor will function at it's optimum level for the longest period of time.
