How to Select the Right Hydraulic Motor for Your Equipment? 6 Key Selection Criteria

As the executive component of hydraulic systems, the precision of hydraulic motor selection directly impacts equipment performance and energy efficiency. As a professional manufacturer with 20 years of expertise in the hydraulic field, Guangdong Haozheng Hydraulic Equipment Co., Ltd. will use bulldozers as an example to analyze the six core technical criteria for hydraulic motor selection.

Six Golden Rules for Hydraulic Motor Selection

1. Accurate Power Requirement Calculation

Calculation Formula:

Power (P) = Torque (T) × Speed (N) / 9550

Practical Application:

• Bulldozer conditions: Consider peak shock loads (recommend 1.5× rated load)

• Haozheng Recommendation: Reserve 20% power margin when selecting plunger motors

2. Dynamic Load Capacity Analysis

Load Type Identification:

Load CharacteristicRecommended Motor TypeHaozheng Product SeriesHeavy shock loadsRadial plunger motorsHZ-RM SeriesContinuous smooth loadsAxial plunger motorsHZ-AM SeriesHigh-speed low-torqueGear motorsHZ-GM Series

Professional Advice: Bulldozer travel mechanisms recommended to use Haozheng A6VM series closed-circuit plunger motors

3. Speed-Torque Characteristic Matching

Key Parameters:

• Starting torque: Should exceed load static friction torque by 30%

• Rated speed: Bulldozer typical value 0-50rpm

• Constant power range: Plunger motors achieve up to 2:1 speed ratio

Haozheng Technical Solution: Plunger motors with Electronic Displacement Control (EDC) enable stepless speed regulation

4. Environmental Adaptability Design

Extreme Condition Solutions:

• High dust: Select IP67 protection motors + add dust covers

• High temperature (>50℃): Equip with oil cooling systems

• High vibration: Use flange mounting + vibration dampers

Haozheng Case Study: Bulldozers at a mining site using HZ-HM series motors achieved 40% longer service life

5. Efficiency Optimization Strategy

Energy Saving Recommendation: Select Haozheng intelligent variable plunger motors for 15-25% comprehensive energy savings

6. Installation Dimension Integration

Space Optimization Techniques:

• Adopt SAE or ISO standard mounting flanges

• Recommend compact plunger motors (e.g., Haozheng HZ-CM series)

• Weight balance: Motor weight ≤ 3% of total equipment weight

Common Selection Misconceptions Corrected

❌ Mistake 1: Selection based solely on price ✅ Haozheng Advice: Calculate total lifecycle cost (including energy consumption, maintenance)

❌ Mistake 2: Ignoring system compatibility ✅ Haozheng Advice: Simultaneously calculate pump-valve-motor system compatibility

❌ Mistake 3: Overlooking maintenance accessibility ✅ Haozheng Advice: Choose modular designed plunger motors
