What is a Hydraulic Motor?
A hydraulic motor is part of a hydraulic drive system that uses pressurized fluid to move a cylinder and make a machine function. An electric motor, combustion engine, or some other type of generator, pressurizes hydraulic fluid through a series of valves and pipes to control the system. This fluid physically pushes either a hydraulic cylinder or motor and drives the machinery. The motor itself is the actuator that converts the fluid’s pressure into torque and rotation.
