Air vane motor advantages:

- low weight and small size (only 1/5 of the weight and 1/2 of the size of an electric motor of equivalent power)

- safe or use in potentially explosive requirements (air motors fulfill ATEX requirements)

- overload safe - an airmotor can be load to standstill without damage

- sterilisable for repeated use in clean-rooms

- sealed - even for underwater usage

- insensitive to cleaning agents

- suitable for the high standards of the food processing and pharmaceutical industry

- insensitive to acids

- torque increase with higher load

- insensitive to vibrations

- insensitive to heat

- insensitive to dust

- reversible - can be set in both rotational directions

- speed is easy to controll: adjustment of the speed by altering the pressure or air quantity (throttling via valve)

- low installation costs

- maintenance friendly

What is an air vane motor?

Alle vane motors essentially consist of a rotor, which circulates in an exxentrically offset perforation of a rotor cyclinder. Because of this eccentrically offset perforation, the vanes form working-chambers. The expanding of the compressed supply air (the pressure energy) is converted into kinetic energy - this results in a rotation of the rotor.

A typically vanes motor speeds up to approx. 60,000 rpm. In combination with a gear box the speed can be regulated down to 5 rpm.

Air vane motors are safe and robust drive systems, which come into play when a high performance and overload safe drive is required. Always ready for action long after traditional drive technology has stopped spinning!

What is the advantage in running a 3pH motor on a 1pH circuit?

The 3PH motor has no internal contacts for a centrifugal switch and are therefore more durable when switched on and off frequently,


What is the Disadvantage of an air cooled engine compared to a liquid cooled engine?

The dis advantage is that it takes longer to cool the motor as to a liquid cooling it. You can mess up your motor alot quicker also.


What is advantage of series dc motor?

Advantage over?DC motors used to be preferred where precise control and variability of rotation speed were desired, but modern motor design and electronic controls have very largely negated that advantage.A series motor is useful mainly for driving a tram or bus because the torque is proportional to the square of the current. That means that a very large torque is produced for starting up and no gearbox is necessary. The motor is started with a current-limiting resistor which is switched down by the driver or automatically as the speed builds up.
