Hydraulic power in the field
Hydraulic power in the field
(OP)
any tips on this please.
We have a petrol engine driven hydraulic pump delivering 120 litres per minute @ 1500 psi.
Would it be possible to run a hydraulic motor piped up to this, which in turn would run another pump delivering say 5 litres per minute @ 10,000 psi.
How would we figure out the motor ratings if this were possible.
We have a requirement to run 2 systems independently in the field, one powering a winch & then a hydraulic torque wrench. Unfortunately the winch is low pressure & high flow & the wrench is totally opposite. If we can run such a combination it means we can utilise the one power unit & thus save on weight.

Or you can use a hydraulic intensifier. Here is an example: http
Most intensifiers do not require the flow rate you have avaiable. You can use a flow control to reduce the flow rate to the intensifier.
Patricia, this is a fluid power problem, not an electric motor control problem.
