At Prance Hydraulic, we always aim to make hydraulics better. One part we actually use is what’s called a radial piston hydraulic motor. This motor is able to convert hydraulic pressure to mechanical energy, and assist machinery to accomplish heavy-duty work with accuracy and efficiency.
In the hydraulic world, the radial piston motor is a superhero. It contains strength and speed, to make many machines go. It doesn’t matter if it’s spinning a conveyor belt, operating a robotic arm or driving a forklift: This motor can handle the hard tasks with ease.
Being creative is important in this fast world to be ahead. Radial piston motors enable machines to play (both) smarter and faster, in numerous applications. From factories to construction sites, they are essential to new technologies.
So how does a radial piston motor operate? It converts hydraulic energy into mechanical energy. The motor includes a plurality of pistons disposed in a circular array around a central shaft. The pistons extend and retract when pressured hydraulic fluid enters the motor. That motion is converted to rotating motion, and that turning creates the sort of rotary motion that drives machines.
The fact that radial piston motors are exceedingly efficient is one big advantage. They convert hydraulic energy directly into mechanical energy, reducing the amount of energy lost. This enables radial piston motor machines to work longer and harder without wasting too much resources.
