Rotary Actuator Air Motor

Actuators are double acting so they use air to exert force in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions.

Rotary actuator air motor. A rotary actuator is an actuator that produces a rotary motion or torque. Pneumatic rotary vane air motors p1v m series parker pneumatic europe. The most common actuators are electrically powered. The third type of actuator is used to operate flow control valves for process control of gases liquids or steam.

Pneumatic rotary vane actuators are characterized by their compact design. The simplest actuator is purely mechanical where linear motion in one direction gives rise to rotation. Designed to turn heavy loads these rotary air actuators have rack and pinion gears that provide high torque output. A pneumatic motor air motor or compressed air engine is a type of motor which does mechanical work by expanding compressed air pneumatic motors generally convert the compressed air energy to mechanical work through either linear or rotary motion.

These durable motors can operate in extreme temperatures as well as wet and corrosive environments. Parker rotary actuators are recognized for their durability and life expectancy and are used wherever reliability is critical to the application. Flange mounted basic grey cast iron motors with planetary gearbox and optional foot bracket. The motion produced by an actuator may be either continuous rotation as for.

For this reason the compact and lightweight design is a major advantage. These actuators are generally pneumatically operated and are described with process control pneumatics. Frb series rotary actuators available in four 4 sizes rated up to 33 in lbs have rotation angles of 90 180 and 270. The p1v m atex certified air motor is available in five different sizes and power ratings of 200 400 600 900 and 1200 watts.

Our broad product range offers performance features to meet all hydraulic rotary actuator applications. Grainger carries rotary vane air motor options in a wide range of sizes and power levels. Vane drives therefore do not require an additional transmission ratio. The energy of the compressed air is directly converted into a rotational movement via the vane.

Rotary actuators are the hydraulic and pneumatic equivalent of an electric motor. Because air motors operate pneumatically and do not produce electrical sparking they can be a good alternative to explosion proof motors in applications. You can change the shaft rotation by as much as 30 to meet the requirements of your application turn the screw on the end cap to adjust. Parker s experience and expertise contribute to our ability to provide custom designs for customers with unique needs.

Optional position sensing features round profile sensors with surge suppression polarity protection led indicator and extremely fast switching speeds.
