Here"s how an air motor operates with energy efficiency
Expert answers to questions from technicians
Installation and assembly of Air Motors made easy
Whether as a high torque motor in the agitator system of a paint and coating manufacturer, as a highly durable stainless steel motor in newspaper print production, or as a compact power pack for an innovative roller transport device: An air motor is in many ways the right choice when it comes to specifying a drive system for a manual device or a complex industrial system. Compact and light weight, an air motor represents only 1/3rd of the size and 1/5th of the mass of a standard electric motor with the same power output, offering outstanding power density. Due to numerous model variants, simple construction, favourable performance to weight ratio, large speed range, or the inherent combustion safety feature, air motors can be employed in a wide application spectrum. Their rugged construction and durable performance combined with ease of installation, service and assembly speak for themselves.
Air motors work based upon a simple principle. Compressed air, generated by a compressor, induces the motor to rotate. Here vane motors, turbines and tooth gear motors, differ in their design and application areas. The efficiency of the respective motor type depends critically upon the volume of air and the correct air pressure.
