Abstract
Cam-lobe hydraulic motors are widely used in high-end equipment due to their low speed and high output torque.The motion structure composed of piston assemblies and cam ring is the key component that converts hydraulic power into mechanical rotational speed, which directly affects the hydraulic motor rotational speed pulsation.Yet, there is little research on the low-pulsation motion structure design.For that, this study proposed the low-pulsation design approach of motion structure to achieve the hydraulic motor with good speed stability.In general, the piston assembly number and the action number design should ensure that the total angle distribution coefficient is not less than 2, but it should be greater than 3 when the asymmetric distribution coefficient is 2. Finally, several hydraulic motors are used to validate the effectiveness of the low-pulsation design.This study can provide theory guidelines for the low-pulsation motion structure design.
