Would like to use a hydraulic motor to drive/turn a shaft that will require up to 20 hp.
The hydro motor shaft must have a max rpm of 3,500 but I would like to be able to control the rpm.
The device I am trying to drive with this set up is belt driven and requires 15 hp to do it under full load.
A pulley on the hydro motor will connect the belt to the pulley on the drive device.
Not sure about the input/output spec..... please use/suggest what you believe is best.
Doug Hanson asked.......
In no particular order, here are a few questions for you:
What is your final desired output?
20 hp
Then, what drive belt ratios do you have?
Hydro motor pulley is 6.75", drive device pulley is 3.0"
Then what prime move do you have to run your pump?
I don't know what that means.
Then what pump do you have? Existing or must be purchased?
Must be purchased.
Then what system pressure do you want to design around?
The minimum required to accomplish this project.
There a many more questions, but most importantly, How much money do you want to spend?
The minimum amount of course.
