Hydraulic Pumps & Motors

Power Steering Pumps: 3.5 GPM @ 1,500 PSI 
Example: Mile Marker 12K lb winch use 19.5 cubic in motors for 5.65 feet per minute.

GPM  =  ( RPM * Pump Displacement [Cu.in./Rev] ) / 231
Area of a Cylinder Sq.In.  =  Pi * Diameter^2 / 4
Area (rod end)  =  Area - area of the rod itself
Force of a cylinder = Pressure (PSI) * Net Area (Sq. In.)
Speed of a cylinder, Velocity [Ft./Sec.]  =   231 * Flow Rate (GPM) / ( 12 * 60 * Net Area [Sq.In.] )

The Deck Crain's pump should supply a minimum of 6 GPM at 2,350 PSI

Example Pumps
Northern Tool Hydraulic Clutch Pump, 2.32Cu In, Max 3000psi. 1 1/4in.NPTF in, 1in. NPTF out. 11.6 gpm@1200rpm, $510

1 HP AC => 1.25 GPM at 2,000 PSI
2 HP AC => 1.3   GPM at 2,500 PSI
12 VDC, 80 Amps, 960 watts => 2 GPM @ 500 PSI
