Sizing AssumptionsSizing Assumptions
• 2 front wheels have enough torque to lift ½ the weight up a vertical wall
• 3000psi operating pressure• Hydraulic motors in series – equal pressure drop• MATV Weight 300lbs• Wheel diameter 0.3m• Efficiencies all assumed η = 0.9• Max speed 30 km/h• Engine governed at 3600rpm
Required Wheel TorqueRequired Wheel Torque
• Fg = (300lbs)(1/2 weight)(1kg/2.2lbs)(9.81m/s^2)• Fr = (Fg)(Sin30 °)• Tr = (Fr)(0.3m)
• Tr = 50.2 N·m

Sizing Motor DisplacementSizing Motor Displacement
• Tr = (Dm)(P)(ηmm)• Dm = (50.2 N·m) / (6.89x10^6 N/m^2)(0.9)
• Dm = 8.1x10^-6 m^3/rad• Dm = 3.1 in^3/rev
1000psi (per motor)
Sizing Motor FlowrateSizing Motor Flowrate
• Vmax = (30km/h)(1000m/km)(1h/3600s)• V = (ωm)(π)(0.3m)• ωm = 8.84 rev/s
• Qm = (ωm)(Dp) / (ηvm)
• Qm = 4.9x10^-4 m^3/s• Qm = 29.5 L/min
Sizing Pump DisplacementSizing Pump Displacement
• Qp = Qm (Series) – Pump flowrate• Qp = (ωp)(Dp) / (ηvp)
• Dp = (4.9x10-4 m^3/s) / (3600 rev/min)(1min/60sec)(0.9)• Dp = 9.1x10^-6 m^3/rev• Dp = 9.1 cm^3/rev• Dp = 0.55 in^3/rev
Hydraulic pump specificationsHydraulic pump specifications
• Pump type 3070• Nominal Delivery: 32 L/min (29.5 L/min Required)• Displacement: 21.33 cm3/ rev (9.1 cm3/ rev Required)• Maximum Continuous Pressure 3000 Psi• Speed at Maximum Continuous Pressure 3000 rpm
Engine SizingEngine Sizing
• Rolling Resistance• Assume 10% of operating pressure (300psi)
• Tp = (9.1x10^-6 m^3/rev)(1 rev/2π rad)(2.068x10^6 N/m^3) / (0.9)• Tp = 3.33 N·m
• Engine Power• Power = (Tp)(3600 rev/min)(1min/60sec)(2π rad/1 rev)• Power = 1255W• Power = 1.7 HP
• Engine runs 2 pumps• Power = 3.4 HP
