With reference to our 40+ton rigs, Dando Drilling use a valve with a 140 /Lt slice (i.e.70lt motor) and pressure at 315 bar (4568 PSI). Based on this and with a hydraulic piston motor you will see the following speed and torque:

20:1 Ratio

High torque mode

Torque = 15398 Nm (11317 Lb/ft) @ 43 RPM

High speed mode

Torque = 3850 Nm (2830 Lb/ft) @ 175 RPM

12 ½:1 Ratio

High torque mode

Torque = 9624 Nm (7073 Lb/ft) @ 70 RPM

High speed mode

Torque = 2406 Nm (1768 Lb/ft) @ 280 RPM

Please note: These are the results when fitted to a Dando type circuit and not the actual performance that the Rotary head and hydraulic motors are capable of. The piston motor can run with a pressure of 420 bar (6090PSI) and an RPM of 5000, therefore results will vary depending on your hydraulic capability.

The torque advised below is a max because of the pressure limitation of each motor and the speed is based on 140 Lt.

20:1 Ratio

High torque mode

Torque = 18984 Nm (14000 Lb/ft) @ 15 RPM

High speed mode

Torque = 9492 Nm (7000 Lb/ft) @ 30 RPM

12 ½:1 Ratio

High torque mode

Torque = 12373 Nm (9125 Lb/ft) @ 25 RPM High speed mode:-

Torque = 6186 Nm (4562 Lb/ft) @ 280 RPM

Please note: The 3” Gear motor is limited to 2500psi and is approximately 0.2245 Lt/ rev. The motor is capable of 2000 RPM @ 365 Lt/min and performance can vary infinitely depending on the hydraulic supply system. The above speeds and torque figures are based on these details.
