I'm in the process of designing a system that will have a gasoline engine, pump (gear pump), two hydraulic motors and two directional valves (3 position, 4 way valve). The goal is to be able to run either motor in either direction at the same time, one at a time, both stopped, etc... (any...

I'm sourcing a valve to control a hydraulic motor. The motor is for wheel drive, so I need to be able to vary the speed smoothly (not just on/off) and it needs to be reversible. What should I look for in the valve specs. From what I gathered it needs to be 3 position, 4 port, but what defines it...

What happens if I have a hydraulic pump that can not source the maximum GPM needed for a hydraulic motor (wheel motor). EX: 12GPM pump w/ a 20GPM motor? A) Will work just fine but will not achieve maximum speed. B) Will work just fine but will not achieve maximum torque. C) Will not work, like a...

I am totally new to the hydraulics world but do have an engineering background. So the question is, how big of a pump can I drive with a 600cc motorcycle engine (~100hp). Here is a link to the dyno chart HP/RPM/Torque 2005 Honda CBR 600 RR Dyno Results Graphs Hosepower - DragTimes.com The pump...
