Categories: News

– Output powers from 0.1 to 10.0 kW. – Direct motors or with planetary gearbox – Single direction of rotation or reversible – With or without brake – Direct control or via pendant control – Wide load speed range from 13 to 4,500 rpm – Flange mounting, or with feet – Customizable output shaft: keyway – splined – screw On request with ATEX certification, Group I or II

MAIN FEATURES:

• Operating pressure 4-6 bar • Robust and compact, versatile (can operate in any environmental condition: underwater as well as in explosion-risk environments) • Resistant to dirt, dust, humidity, temperature variations • Insensitive to overloads • Motor cooling intrinsic to operation: expanding air acts as coolant • 100% continuous duty cycle, no rest intervals required • Capability to operate not only with compressed air, but also with other gases • Easily modulable speed, simply by adjusting the air flow • Spark-free • Long operating life

VANE AIR MOTOR:

• Rotors with radial or tangential vane slots • Vanes made of durable plastic or steel • With or without automatic vane expulsion system • Mounting choice with flange or feet • Output shaft in central or asymmetrical position • On request with silencer and oil-separator filter

PLANETARY GEARBOX:

• Single or multi-stage reduction • Reduction ratio from i=2 to i=350 • Straight-tooth, helical, or involute gears • Straight or right-angle shaft output • Shaft with standard couplings easily adaptable to existing setups

BRAKE:

• Disc brake with counteracting springs, normally closed • Opening triggered by the presence of supply air and simultaneous motor start • Automatic brake activation in case of pressure drop or motor shutdown • Emergency STOP

CONTROLS:

• Direct on-motor control, manual lever without automatic return • Direct on-motor control, manual lever with automatic motor shutoff upon release • Direct controls as above, but remotely positionable • Pneumatic pendant control for remote operation, with automatic motor shutoff upon release and Emergency STOP

APPLICATIONS:

• lifting • traction • primary drive in special environments (humid, explosion or fire hazard, dusty, hot…) • emergency motor • starting or barring motors • machine tools…

FIELDS OF APPLICATION:

• offshore • mining • chemical and petroleum industry… • foundry • paper mill • cement plant • shipyard • construction site • power plants…
