Energy losses in the hydraulic rotational motor definitions and relations for evaluation of the efficiency of motor and hydrostatic drive

The evaluation methods of energy losses and efficiency of the hydraulic rotational motors for the hydrostatic drives, used so far in the scientific research and in the industrial practice, give wrong results because the parameters that the losses and efficiencies are a function of are themselves dependent on those losses. The aim of the paper is to define the motor operating parameters, developed powers, energy losses and efficiencies and also to show the respective relations. Conclusions are drawn, based on the analyses of presented definitions and relations, on the motor energy investigations.
