What is a piston motor and for which hydraulic application do you need it?

Hydraulic piston motors are used to drive mobile and construction equipment, winches, ship-cranes, and all kinds of heavy-duty hydraulic equipment for offshore and onshore operations. Piston motors are hydraulic motors with a high speed and displacement range that operate under maximum pressure of up to 450 bar. The largest axial piston motor has a displacement of 1 litre (1,000 ml/rev) and radial piston motors are available with well over 8 litres displacement volume.

For applications that require a significant amount of power, a hydraulic piston motor is the best option.

Hydraulic piston motors combine high speeds with large displacement volumes at higher operating pressures. If your operation requires a significant amount of power, a hydraulic piston motor is the best option. Whether your heavy-duty installation needs high torques or high speeds determines the choice of either a radial piston or axial piston motor. You will find the highest possible torques generated by one hydraulic motor, which is the radial piston motor.
