Internal curve motors (ICMs) are used in construction and port machinery owing to their low speed and strong torque. The internal leakage of an ICM has a direct impact on its working performance: however, research on the internal leakage of ICMs is unclear. A method, based on the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) transient simulation of an ICM, for obtaining the transient pressure in the plunger chamber and combining the mathematical model of internal leakage is calculated, and the internal leakage is proposed. We one-factor analyzed the internal leakage of the ICM and the effect of the valve pair and plunger pair leakage, and conducted multifactor analysis on the effect of the interaction between those two factors on the internal leakage of the ICM. The results show that the internal leakage mechanisms affecting the ICM were, in descending order of impact, the inlet pressure, oil temperature, and rotational speed, and a significant interaction existed between the inlet pressure and oil temperature, whereas the influence of rotational speed was not significant.
