Heat Treatment Technique
Long life-span, consistency and robustness are the attributes of a modern high performance air vane motor. Consistent, regulated air pressure induces the rotor of a 120 W air vane motor to rotate 11,000 times a minute within an eccentric cylinder under load. When, for example, after 1,000 hours of operation the vanes in the drive need to be changed for the first time then the rotor has already turned on its axis 660 million times. The steel for such a heavily stressed machine component must be particularly resilient. Special hardening procedures improve the microstructure of the steel material and increase its mechanical durability.
DEPRAG SCHULZ GmbH & Co., based in Amberg, Germany, is an international supplier for quality air motors, automation, screwdriving technology and air tools to major conglomerates and industries. The company has decades of experience in processing steel as a raw material.
