Abstract
Abstract A combined hydraulic motor and speed reducer intended to improve the service life of sealing members and bearings by cooling lubricating oil within a speed reducer case. The hydraulic motor includes a motor case (1) having a peripheral surface in which a pair of supply/discharge ports (18, 17) are formed in a diametrically opposite relationship and extend axially from one end of the motor case (1) so as to open to a speed reducer case (6). Cool lubricating oil is supplied to the interior of the speed reducer case, and at the same time, high temperature lubricating oil is discharged out of the motor. In this way, the lubricating oil within the speed reducer case is maintained at low temperature.
