Hydraulic Motor Repair

Hydraulic Motor Repair Options

Finding hydraulic motor repair near me may be your best option for obsolete and hard-to-find hydraulic motors. Repairs on hydraulic motors can be drastically cheaper than replacing the component itself, especially if that component is older, obsolete, or hard to come by, where the cost of a new hydraulic motor will be far greater than the repair cost. 

From our Oklahoma City hydraulic repair facility, Precision Fluid Power provides the best hydraulic motor repair services on components from all major manufacturers, including:

Frequently Asked Questions About Hydraulic Motor Repairs

Who rebuilds hydraulic motors near me?

Precision Fluid Power rebuilds hydraulic motors out of our Oklahoma City facility, and we take in units from customers all over the country. You can ship a motor to us for inspection and repair. Small orbital motor or a large industrial piston motor. We work on both common models and the harder-to-find ones. Every completed repair gets tested and comes with a warranty.

How do you repair a hydraulic motor?

Precision Fluid Power’s hydraulic motor repair process starts with a full inspection to find the source of the problem. A technician checks the bearings, seals, shaft, and internal bore for wear or damage. From there, the motor comes apart so each part gets checked on its own. The repair might call for new seals and bearings or a full internal rebuild, sometimes with machined replacement parts along the way. Once it’s back together, the motor runs through testing before it ships back out.

How do you test a hydraulic motor?

Testing starts with the numbers: required torque, speed, direction of rotation, shaft type, and mounting configuration. The motor then runs under controlled conditions so PFP can check output, leakage, case drain flow, and noise against those specs. This tells us whether the issue is wear inside the motor or something in the rest of the system. Precision Fluid Power tests every motor before the repair starts and again once it’s done.

What is the difference between a gear, piston, and orbital hydraulic motor?

Gear motors use two gears that mesh together to turn fluid flow into rotation. They’re simple and tough, but they lose efficiency at high pressure. Piston motors use a set of pistons that push against a cam or swashplate, and that setup handles higher pressure with less wasted energy plus often gives you variable displacement. Orbital motors work off a gerotor design and deliver strong torque at low speed, which is why manufacturers use them in steering systems and low-speed drives. The right repair approach depends on which type you have.

What are the signs a hydraulic motor needs repair?

Loss of torque is one of the first things people notice, along with speed that’s slower or less steady than usual. Odd noise during operation is another common sign, and heavy case drain flow can point to wear on the inside. Leaks around the shaft seal or housing are worth checking right away, and overheating under load usually means something’s already gone wrong. An inspection from Precision Fluid Power’s best hydraulic motor repair services near you will confirm which parts failed and whether the fix is a simple reseal or a full rebuild.

Can a hydraulic motor be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?

In most cases, repair beats replacement, especially on older motors or models that are hard to find new. Precision Fluid Power rebuilds motors across a long list of manufacturers, including Sauer Sundstrand, Parker, Bosch Rexroth, and Kawasaki-Staffa. A full inspection tells us whether a rebuild makes sense or replacement is the smarter call. Cost and parts availability usually settle the question one way or the other.

How much does it cost to repair a hydraulic motor?

Cost depends on the motor type, its size, and how much damage turns up once it’s opened. A reseal usually costs less than a rebuild that needs new bearings or a repaired bore, sometimes with a machined shaft in the mix. Parts availability affects price too, especially on older or discontinued models. Send in the motor’s nameplate details or a photo of the tag, and we’ll put together an accurate quote.
