This force is in effect tangential to the rotor and causes
the rotor to turn, carrying the motor shaft with it.

If fluid is directed into the motor from the body port (see
Figure 2), shaft rotation, as viewed from the head end, is
counterclockwise. When the cover port is used for the inlet,

the direction of fluid flow thus changes the direction of motor
rotation. This is usually accomplished by the use of a
suitable directional control valve. With either port open to
pressure, the other port becomes the return port.
