• Industrial air motors (pneumatic motors) are used in environments where electric motors cannot be used (e.g. in potentially explosive or corrosive environments)
• Motors can work in areas with high temperatures up to 120°C (250°F)
• Main Applications: mixing of paint, thinner, chemicals, also as pneumatic fiber cutting motor

Working principle

The air motor (pneumatic motor) does work by converting compressed air to mechanical work through rotary motion. The rotary motion is generated either by a vanes or piston. Our air motors are rotary vane type, i.e. a slotted rotor is mounted on the drive shaft whereby each of the four slots has a freely sliding rectangular vane. Rotational speed is between 500-6,000 RPM for the direct drive multi vane air motors, depending on the model and motor size. The 2AM type air motor (0.56 kW / 0.75 hp) can be additionally equipped with a gear reducer which increases the torque and can bring the speed down to 15 RPM.

Application

Air motors are widely used in the hand-held tool industry and for agitators, mixers and stirrers in hazardous environments and more volatile atmospheres. Compared to electric motors, air motors do not require a speed controller (only a simple air regulator), have cool running characteristics, generate less heat and can be used in high temperature environments (up to 120°C / 250°F).
