Cost is a consideration but the bent axis motors are generally way more expensive than the swash plate motors so I am not sure that cost is a factor - I am still wondering if there is a technical factor we are not aware of???
We are wanting to use a couple of piston motors coupled together to use as a rotary flow divider. Gear type dividers are commonplace and to a lesser extent bent axis motors are used in rotary flow divider applications.
We wish to use axial piston motors (swash plate type), Eaton 73418 motors...
I find the same thing - thats why I am trawling this forum to try to find a solution - it drives me nuts to re-establish the correct print config everytime I start Draftsight
