Formulas For Hydraulic Pumps
TORQUE of a Hydraulic Pump Pxd T = 2x or hp x 63025 T = n T P d hp 63025 = = = = = = torque (lb - in) pressure (lb/in2) displacement, pump (in3/rev) 3.14159 (no units) horsepower Conversion {(lb-ft/min/hp) x (in/ft)/(no units)} {(33,000 x 12)/(2 x )} where 12 is used to convert from inches to feet, (2 x ) is used to convert to angular velocity, and 33,000 is used to convert from (lb - ft)/min to hp speed (rpm) HORSE POWER Required to Drive a Pump hp P 1714 = = = QxP hp = 1714 x .85

horsepower Pressure (lb/in2) Conversion {(in/ft) x {(lb-ft/min)/(hp)}}/(in3/gal) (12 x 33,000)/(231) Where 12 is used to convert from in to ft, 33,000 is to convert from lb-ft/min to hp, and 231 is used to convert from gal to in3 flow rate, pump output (gal/min) 231 x Q n = d

Formulas For Hydraulic Motors

Torque Force
Torque (in lbs) - Pressure (lbs / in2) x Displacement (in3 / rev) 6.28 Pressure (lbs / in2) = {Torque (in lbs) x 6.28} Displacement (in3 / rev) Displacement (in3 / rev) = {Torque (in lbs) x 6.28} Pressure (lbs / in2) Torque of a lever or draw bar (in lbs) = Distance from fixed point (inch) x Force (lbs) Torque of a pinion or wheel (in lbs) = Radius (inch) x Force (lbs)

Motor SHAFT SPEED ROTARY (Pumps & Motors)

Horsepower: Pumps & Motors, Hydraulic Power Thru Pipes, Mechanical

Horsepower = Speed (rev / min) x Torque (ft lbs) 5252 Speed (rev / min) = {Horsepower x 5252} Torque (ft lbs) Torque (ft lbs) = {Horsepower x 5252} Speed (rev / min) Horsepower = GPM x PSI x .000583 same as Horsepower = GPM x PSI 1714 Horsepower = {Pull Force (lbs) x Distance (ft)} {550 x Time (sec)} Rule Of Thumb: 1 Horsepower = 1 GPM @ 1500 PSI Horsepower = Speed (rev / min) x Torque (in lbs) 63025 Speed (rev / min) = {Horsepower x 63025} Torque (in lbs) Torque (in lbs) = {Horsepower x 63025} Speed (rev / min) 1 Horsepower = 550 (ft lbs / sec) or 33,000 (ft lbs / min) 1 Horsepower = 746 watts or 0.746 kW 1 Horsepower = 42.4 (BTU / min) or 2545 (BTU / hour) Flow (in3 / min) = Motor Shaft Speed (rev / min) x Displacement (in3 / rev) Motor Shaft Speed (rev / min) = Flow (in3 / min) Displacment (in3 / rev) Displacement (in3 / rev) = Flow (in3 / min) Motor Shaft Speed (rev / min)
