Dynamic vibration analysis of a swash-plate type water hydraulic motor

This paper presents the study of the dynamic analysis of a swash-plate water hydraulic motor in a modern water hydraulic system. A swash-plate mechanism is modeled as a system with three masses and 14 degrees of freedom (DOF). In order to evaluate the applicability of the dynamic model, the numerical simulation analysis of the dynamic response of the model due to pressure pulsation is presented and compared with experimental results. A series of the dynamic vibration characteristics of the water hydraulic piston motor are studied by the numerical simulation. It is effective for the model to simulate the vibration signal of the casing in the hydraulic motor. The waveform and frequency of the simulated signal is similar to the experimental signal. The simulated signals in other directions show that the vibration signals in all the directions mainly consist of the hydraulic pump and hydraulic motor rotational frequencies.
