Pneumatic Motors Pneumatic motors are compact, air powered devices that convert compressed air into rotational motion for a range of automation tasks. They provide intuitive, immediate on/off control, require minimal maintenance, and avoid electrical hazards in sensitive environments. Key benefits - Compact form factor suitable for tight spaces - Spark-free operation for hazardous or damp environments - Simple speed control through air flow and valve control - Low maintenance with sealed design and durable materials - Flexible mounting with standard fittings Function and compatibility - Converts compressed air into continuous rotation to drive tools, clamps, indexing devices, and rotary heads - Compatible with standard pneumatic air systems and common fittings; multiple shaft sizes and mounting patterns available - Integrates with rotary tooling, fixtures, and packaging or assembly machinery Size and materials - Offered in a range of sizes to fit space and torque requirements - Housing materials typically include durable metals; sealed components protect against dust and moisture - Internal components selected for reliability and long service life in industrial environments Performance - Provides steady torque and rotational speed under typical operating conditions - Performance adjusted by air pressure and flow; responsive ramp and stop actions - Requires clean, dry compressed air for best life and performance Use scenarios - Scenario 1: Indexing and part positioning on automated assembly lines; rotates a table or tool head between stations with repeatable timing - Scenario 2: Compact tooling and processing heads in small machines; drives drilling, grinding, or milling heads where electrical sparks must be avoided - Scenario 3: Lab automation and test rigs; rotates sample carriers or fixtures with adjustable speed for testing or handling tasks Model-specific notes - Torque, speed, mounting patterns, and other specifications vary by unit; refer to the product datasheet for exact details
