Overview
This HTS classification, 8412.29.80.15, specifically designates "Gear type" hydraulic power engines and motors. These devices utilize meshing gears to convert hydraulic fluid pressure into rotational mechanical energy. The core principle of their operation relies on the displacement of fluid by the rotating teeth of intermeshing gears, thereby producing torque and enabling rotary motion.
This category is distinguished from its siblings by its specific mechanism of action. While 8412.29.80.30 covers radial piston types, and 8412.29.80.45 covers axial piston types, this "Gear type" classification is for hydraulic motors where the primary power transmission relies on the interaction of gears. The sibling category 8412.29.80.60, "Other," would encompass hydraulic rotary motors that do not fall under gear, radial piston, or axial piston designs.
As a leaf node within the HTS, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, its scope is precisely defined by the "Gear type" descriptor. Examples of goods that would fall under this category include vane-type hydraulic motors where a rotating element with vanes meshes to displace fluid, or gerotor-type hydraulic motors. Classification within this code hinges on the identification of the specific gear-driven mechanism as the means of converting hydraulic energy into rotary output.
