Development of a Seawater Hydraulic Vane Motor for Diver Tools

摘要

A compact efficient hydraulic vane motor capable of operating with pressurized seawater as the working fluid has been successfully developed for use with diver tools. The motor occupies a volume of 23 cu in. and weighs less than five pounds. With 1,000 psi seawater a six GPM flow rates the motor delivered 3.3 hp at 1,585 RPM with 80% overall efficiency. The motor operated for 50 hours without component failure. Results of the design and development effort are presented. (Author)
