A limited rotation hydraulic motor provides a rotary output motion over a finite angle. This device produces a high instantaneous torque in either direction and requires only a small amount of space and simple mountings.
Rotary motors consist of a chamber or chambers containing the working fluid and a movable surface against which the fluid acts. The movable surface is connected to an output shaft to produce the output motion.
Figure 4.1 shows a direct acting vane-type actuator. In this type, fluid under pressure is directed to one side of the moving vane, causing it to rotate. This type of motor provides about 280° rotation.
Rotary actuators are available with working pressures up to 350 kg/cm3 (4978 psi). They are typically foot mounted, flanged or end mounted. Most designs provide cushioning devices. In a double vane design similar to the one depicted in the figure above, the maximum angle of rotation is reduced to about 100°. However in this case, the torque-carrying capacity is twice that obtained by a single vane design.

Can hydraulic pump can be used as hydraulic motor?
Instead of hydraulic pumps, hydraulic gear motor does not work. Hydraulic pump hydraulic motor blade is used instead.
How do you calculate hydraulic motor torque?
how to calculate hydraulic motor torque
How the correlation between hydraulic motor and hydraulic pump?
Internally, they're pretty much the same. The difference is the operation expected of it - a hydraulic pump converts mechanical energy to fluid energy, whereas a hydraulic motor converts hydraulic energy to mechanical energy.
What is the difference between a hydrostatic and a hydraulic system?
By "Hydrostatic" systems one tends to mean "closed loop hydraulic systems". That is hydraulic systems comprising a pump and motor hwere the pump supplies the motor whose return side supplies the pump. The speed and direction of rotation of the hydraulic motor being changed according to the displacement angle of the variable displacement axial pison pump. "Open loop hydraulic systems" on the other hand comprises various motors often one or more "linear motors" (hydraulic cylinders). When using hydraulic cylinders in hydraulic systems one needs a reservoir to be able to hold the various volume need of the cylinder. (the displacement on the piston side is usually bigger than the rodside). The reservoir needs a "breather" due to the varous displacement needs hence the "open system".
How do you reduce the rpm of a hydraulic motor?
Reduce the output flow of the pump supplying fluid to the motor
