This nomograph enables the average

volumetric efficiency, crankcase (drain)
leakage and “winch slip”/shaft creep
speed to be estimated.

Example (follow chain dotted line):

Given:
1. Pressure .....................150 bar (2175 psi)
2. Speed .................................................20 r/min
3. Viscosity ........................50 cSt (232 SUS)
To obtain:
4. Volumetric efficiency .....................97.0%
5. Crankcase leakage ...................4.5 l/min
(275 in3/min)
6. Shaft creep speed ..................0.63 r/min

The shaft creep speed occurs when the

load attempts to rotate the motor
against closed ports as may occur, for
example, in winch applications.

applications beyond this limit. Note that
high back pressures reduce the Notes:
effective torque output of the motor. 1. The casing pressure at all times must not
exceed either the motor inlet or outlet pressure.
BOOST PRESSURE
When operating as a motor the outlet
pressure should equal or exceed the
crankcase pressure. If pumping occurs
(i.e. overrunning loads) then a positive
pressure, “P”, is required at the motor
inlet ports. Calculate “P”, according to
port connection type being used, from:

P (bar) = 1 + N2 + C bar
Dbar

P (psi) = 14.5 + N2 + C psi

Dpsi

Where:
N = speed, r/min
C = crankcase pressure
D = see table

Port D value
connection type
No symbol at Dbar = 1000
model code Dpsi = 69

The flow rate of oil needed for the

make-up system can be estimated from
the crankcase leakage figure (see
Volumetric Efficiency graph on page 6).
Allowance should be made for other
system losses and also for “fair wear
and tear” during the life of the motor,
pump and other system components.
