I have no idea what the sizing spec of a hydraulic motor means, so please bear with me.
I want to use a hydraulic motor to rotate the chute on my snowblower. The cheapest high-torque / low-speed hydraulic motor I can find ($80) is a 2.5cu-in motor rated at 1115 RPM at 12GPM (2250psi). My tractor's hydraulics (BX2200) are somewhere in the 5.5-6 GPM range, and probably in the ballpark of 2000psi. If I hook up this motor to a 5.5 GPM source, will it turn at ~500RPM? What is the cu-in rating used for?
If anybody can point me to a site that explains the calculations for specifying a hydraulic motor, please do. I'm an electrical engineer, so the more technical the better. Thanks!
