When should you use high-pressure motors? High-pressure motors are able to accomplish more in a smaller package compared to medium-pressure technology. When it comes to enhancing performance of both mobile and stationary hydraulic systems, high-pressure technology can be used to reduce package size, improve starting torque, and reduce system costs. At the end of the day, this means that skid steer loaders (SSL and CTL), drilling equipment, grinders and mixers, material handling and other mobile equipment can get more done, generate less emissions and use less fuel. Switching from medium to highpressure models is typically driven by three factors: •
• •
Equipment size: as machines become more compact and nimble, higher pressure products allow the same capability in a smaller envelope. Capability gains: applications where more capable motors yield more productive or efficient machinery Future compatibility: supporting future upgrades and changes
With a design to handle high backpressure, high-pressure motors such as Eaton’s HP30 can be used in series circuits without limitations on duty cycle or pressure ratings.
Key advantages of high-pressure motors There are many factors that impact the decision on the type of motor to select. New high-pressure motor technology is delivering benefits across a variety of aspects, making high-pressure motors the right choice for a range of hydraulic systems.
