Vane Motor
A hydraulic motor converts fluid power into mechanical power in the form of rotational motion. Motors take pump’s flow and system pressure as their input and output rotational motion and torque.
Motor displacement is the volume of fluid required to rotate a motor one revolution.
Increasing the displacement of a motor decreases its speed because it requires more fluid to turn it each revolution.
Increasing displacement increases torque. Decreasing motor displacement increase speed while decreasing torque.
If the load resists the rotation of the shaft, pressure builds until sufficient torque overcomes the resistance of the load. If the maximum system pressure is not sufficient to overcome the load, the motor will stall and generate torque, but no motion. Output horsepower can be calculated when both torque and speed are known.
Motors like pumps and all other power transmission devices are not 100% efficient. Motors have both mechanical losses due to friction and volumetric losses due to leakage. The mechanical efficiency of a hydraulic motor is the ratio of actual
torque to the theoretical torque while volumetric efficiency is ratio of theoretical flow to the actual flow at a given speed.
Mechanical, volumetric, and overall efficiencies are all performance characteristics of a motor. This information is general displayed in a graphical format. Data contain in the graph display information for a particular fluid type, temperature and viscosity. An example is standard hydraulic oil at 120 degrees and
100 SUS viscosity.

Procedure
Step #1
Locate and identify the pressure, return and drain hoses attached to the Hydraulic Power Unit.
Connect the pressure, return and drain hoses attached to the hydraulic Power
Unit to the quick disconnects on the DCV located on the Wheel Stand Brake
Install hydraulic tees with Pressure Gauges attached on to the Wheel Stand Brake’s Vane Motor inlet and out ports.
Connect the Wheel Stand Brake’s pneumatic foot pedal’s inlet air hose to lab’s air supply line on the wall.
The wall supply line will have a regulator attached. Set the regulator to 20 P.S.I.
Connect the 120 volts electrical power cord attached to the Wheel Stand Brake’s yellow power box to wall 120 electrical outlet.
Locate the reflective strip of tape located on both the Vane Motor’s coupling and a second strip on the rim of the Wheel Stand Brake’s tire
Turn the by-pass valve on the hydraulic Power Unit fully open.
Turn the swash plate's adjusting handle for maximum angle, hence maximum volume.
Start the hydraulic Power Unit and let run the unit run for approximately 1 minute to warm the hydraulic fluid
Slowly close the by-pass valve on the Power Unit (non-passing).
Readjust the Power Unit’s swashplate plate adjusting handle to set the unit’s output flow to
12 G.P.M.
as indicated on the Digital Flow Meter.

Jog the Wheel Stand Brake Wheels by depressing and releasing quickly the
DCV solenoid pushbutton located on the power box marked with the X
Identify and record the direction of rotation of the Vane motor.
Press and hold briefly the DCV solenoid’s pushbutton again while stepping on
the Wheel Stand Brake’s Foot Pedal, which applies a braking effort to the
wheels. This resistance might or may not stop the rotation of the wheels.
Quickly read and record the data required to complete all five columns on the table
Do not hold the foot pedal as excessive application of the brakes will
heat up the brake pads causing excessive wear to the brake pads.
With both the DCV and Foot Pedal released increase the air supply pressure to
the brake by 1 P.S.I.
Repeat the above procedure and collect the data for the table for this new brake pressure.
Continue to increase the brake pressure in 1-psi increments taking the appropriate readings each increment.
Ensure that the readings are accurately.
Release the foot pedal each time before the air pressure is increased.
Step #2
Repeat the above procedure for a second time, this time adjust recording all
the reads when the power unit’s swashplate plate adjusting handle is set to an
output flow of 6 G.P.M.as indicated on the Digital Flow Meter

When choosing the type of hydraulic motor for use in a hydraulic circuit, always consider the total cost of the motor include its purchase price plus operating cost. Inefficiencies in the hydraulic motor will add sufficiently to the total cost of the motor over its life expectancy of 5 years.
Viscosity of the hydraulic fluid is of major importance for the life of the hydraulic motor. (Lubrication)
All fixed displacement motors manufactured today are of a Balanced Design.

A brake system is tested by rotating a tire and measuring the number of rotations required for the brake system to bring the tire

Recall the discussion on spacecraft from the chapter opener. The following problems consider a rocket launch from Earth’s surface. The force of gravity on the rocket is given by F(d)=−mk/d2, where m is the mass of the rocket, d is the distance of the rocket from the center of Earth, and k is a constant.
172.
As the rocket travels away from Earth’s surface, there is a distance D where the rocket sheds some of its mass, since it no longer needs the excess fuel storage. We can write this function as F(d)=⎨(−m↓1 k / d^2) if d < D
(−m↓2 k / d^2) if d ≥ D
Is there a D value such that this function is continuous, assuming m1≠m2?
