Figure 4-10 shows a gear-type motor. Both gears are driven gears, but only one is connected to the output shaft. Operation is essentially the reverse of that of a gear pump. Flow from the pump enters chamber A and flows in either direction around the inside surface of the casing, forcing the gears to rotate […]

The gear pump design can also be used as a motor. The Hydreco Model 1919 motor has a theoretical displacement of 4.53 in3/rev, a maximum pressure rating of 2500 psi, and 3000 rpm maximum speed rating. Efficiencies were calculated for a 36 GPM input flow to the motor (Fig. 5.3). Volumetric efficiency decreases linearly as […]
