Hydraulic Motor Torque and Speed

Torque = psi x disp / (2 pi) x mech eff, speed = 231 x gpm / disp x vol eff, HP = T x rpm / 63025. 2000 psi, 2.0 in^3/rev, 10 GPM -> 573 in-lb, 1097 rpm, 9.98 HP; doubling displacement halves speed and doubles torque (same power). A sizing aid; the motor data govern.
