1 HP electric motor = 1.5 HP hydraulic motor so for a 3 HP electric motor you would need a 4.5 HP hydraulic motor. Also for your information a 1 HP hydraulic motor = 1 2/3 HP gasoline engine.

What size hydraulic motor is needed to be equal to a 16 hp gas engine?

there is no such thing as a hydraulic motor........there is, however, a hydraulic pump. there is such thing as a hydraulic motor. the hydraulic pump will pump oil to the motor and a pressure differential across the motor causes the fluid power to be converted to mechanical power. the power output of the motor is determined by the motor's pressure, flow, displacement, and torque. ________________________________________________________________ I believe the above post is wrong in part and right in part. Choosing a hydraulic motor to replace you 16hp gas engine requires more information than just the horsepower. It would be helpful to know many other factors, such as required torque needed in the application and the rpm. When these play a part in overall horsepower, knowing these pieces of information will help find a motor. When I've purchased motors in the past, I've used this website. They are very thorough and well-priced. www.surpluscenter.com What I took away from the response above, is the person was trying to tell you how to replace a whole hydraulic system. However, its needed in your case, so long as you have a new power source for the hydraulic motor. (IE: a gas engine to power a hydraulic pump, then lines from the hydraulic pump to the hydraulic motor (insert a valve if you wish to control motor speed and/or direction), and then the hydraulic motor. Its important to have a hydraulic tank with enough capacity to hold all the fluid which will be in motion. The more devices in the system, the bigger the tank. Hope this helps!!


Explain how hydraulic pressure is maintained in a hydraulic system?

A power source - such as a combustion engine or electric motor - mechanically actuates a pump which pushes hydraulic fluid through it. This maintains pressure in the hydraulic system.
