Redesign provides variable gear connection
POWER LINE air motors are distinctive for their high power density
Motors should be small and light - yet they must also achieve high torque values! DEPRAG are currently lauching their enhanced POWER LINE air motors on the market and the name says it all. With their unbeaten low power-weight ratio these powerful air motors score top marks. They reach the high torque value required the instant they start. The engineers put the pneumatic motor on the test bench and gave it a complete design overhaul. From this rigorous process emerged an air motor that is a shining light of economy: an attractive price and fast delivery lead times speak for themselves.
The 54, 55 and 65 motors have been completely redesigned. The designers have standardised the structure with the aim of enabling a more effective, and thus more economical, manufacturing process for these drives. DEPRAG’s product manager, Dagmar Dübbelde, said: “With this redesign we have achieved our aim and we are passing on the benefits directly to our customers. We are now able to offer our POWER LINE air motors at a very attractive price”.
The high speeds produced by air motors often require different gears in order to adjust speed to torque. So, in their redesign of the POWER LINE vane motors the engineers at DEPRAG also addressed this aspect. The drives have been equipped with a standardised IEC flange connection, as used in electromotors and commercial gear connections. The IEC flange now allows easier connection to different gear types. These may be planetary gears, spur gears, worm gears, bevel gears or other gear types. Dagmar Dübbelde added: “From now on our standard range includes these air motors without a gear. We can then be flexible in the way we implement the speed or torque adjustment, using standard gears from a wide variety of manufacturers. It means we are also able to improve delivery lead times for our customers.”
