 Hydraulic Motors
• The most common internal gear motor has a gerotor design
 Gerotor Motors
• Uses an internal gear that rides inside a gear
• The rotor has 1 tooth less than the external
gear
• The rotor is offset to the center
of the motor and travels in a orbital
fashion
 Hydraulic Motors
• Basic vane motor

AXIAL PISTON MOTOR
SWASH PLATE AXIAL PISTON MOTOR
 In-Line Piston Motor

• The most efficient type of high speed

motor
• Can be fixed displacement or variable
displacement
• Requires a case drain for
internal leakage
• Tight tolerances require high
filtration

Radial Piston Motor
 Radial Piston Motor

• Newest type of motor

• Uses pistons which are placed around a
crankshaft
• Produce higher torque than
gerotor motors
• Require special valves on the
shaft
