Mechanical
Hi. I need to transfer 12 Hp from a gas engine to a differential transmission, it is too difficult to do it by mechanical means, and so I chose hydraulic drive. I have a gear pump that will couple to the engine, and would like to use a gear pump as a motor to drive the transaxle input. It looks like the transaxle input will be around 1500 RPM. Can I use a gear pump as a motor? I got the hydraulic parts off Ebay and don’t have the specifications, so I will have to wing it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
