A hydraulic motor maintains its speed substantially constant in spite of changes of hydraulic fluid pressure and flow. The motor comprises a rotor to which hydraulic fluid is delivered through a nozzle arrangement from an inlet port and exhausted from the rotor to an exit port. A by-pass duct interconnects the passageway for the incoming fluid with the passageway for the outgoing fluid, to by-pass the rotor. A spring-loaded piston is situated in relation to the entrance to the by-pass duct so that when the incoming fluid pressure is relatively high the piston is retracted to expose the by-pass duct to permit some of the hydraulic fluid to by-pass the rotor, and when the fluid pressure and flow rate decrease, the spring moves the piston to close up the entrance to the by-pass duct to reduce or even stop the flow through the by-pass. A manual diverter valve is situated to divert incoming fluid away from the rotor so that all the fluid is diverted directly out of the motor housing.

A constant speed hydraulic motor adapted for incorporation in a hydraulic system in series with a hydraulic pump and a variable hydraulic load, the load variations of which produce variations of fluid pressure and flow rate at the motor, said motor comprising a housing containing: a. a fluid inlet port; b. a fluid exit port; c. a fluid driven rotor; d. a fluid inlet passageway from the inlet port to the rotor; e. a fluid exit passageway from the rotor to the exit port; f. a by-pass duct adapted to provide fluid communication between the fluid inlet passageway and the fluid exit passageway, by-passing the rotor; g. a cylinder in communication with the inlet port; h. a piston in said cylinder movable in a path of travel which enables it to meter fluid flow into said duct, said piston being urged by fluid pressure at the inlet port to move toward a position where it does not greatly impede fluid flow into said duct; and i. means urging said piston to move toward a position where it substantially blocks the fluid flow into said duct; said motor including a cavity within which the rotor is contained, said fluid inlet passageway being located beneath said cavity and having a curved portion conforming substantially with the peripheral portion of the rotor, and nozzle means from said curved portion of the inlet passageway to the rotor cavity for injecting fluid to the rotor, said fluid exit passageway being located above said cavity and having a curved portion conforming substantially with the peripheral portion of the rotor, and passages from said cavity to said curved portion of the passageway for fluid flow from the cavity; whereby when the fluid pressure and flow rate at the inlet port increases, the flow rate through said duct increases, and when the fluid pressure and flow rate at the inlet port decreases, the fluid flow rate through said duct decreases, thus maintaining the flow to the rotor and speed of the rotor substantially constant.
