Working Mechanism

  • Rotary vane air motors use compressed air to create rotational movement. They have a housing, a rotating part with slots, blades or vanes, an air inlet and an exhaust.
  • When compressed air enters the motor through the inlet, it pushes against the blades, making them move outward and touch the inside of the motor housing.
  • This contact creates a pushing force that makes the rotating part spin in a circular motion.

Features

  • They feature cast iron construction for better heat dissipation and structural rigidity.
  • These gast vane air motors can be operated at temperatures ranging from 0 to 250 degrees F.
  • They are equipped with a discharge muffler for reducing excessive noise.
  • These rotary vane air motors are powered by high-pressure compressed air for rotating shafts in the counterclockwise direction.
  • They are available in speed ratings of 2000, 2500, 3000 and 6000 RPM.
  • These units offer flow rates upto 175 cfm.
