Information on Hydraulic Pumps/Motors

There are a number of formulas for figuring horsepower. Use the one that best suits your application.
 

Horsepower Calculation Formulas

Horsepower = (Gpm x Psi) / (1714 x E)

Horsepower = (Volts x Amps) / 745.7

 

Horsepower = (T x Rpm) / 5252

The above formulas can be used for estimating horsepower when:

Gpm = Gallons per minute
Psi = Pounds per square inch
E = Percentage of pump/motor efficiency
Rpm = Rotations per minute
T = Torque expressed in foot pounds

Hydraulic Pump Output Flow Calculation

This information is for estimating flow in gallons per minute. It's good to remember that: 1 gallon = 231 cubic inches.

Gallons per minute = (Rpm x d) / 231

The above formula can be used for estimating pump output flow where:
Rpm = Rotations per minute
d = Displacement in cubic inches
