Smart Sensor regulates Air-Motor speed

A motor needs to be powerful while still being small and robust. During the selection of an air-motor for the automated technology, especially a small size and low mass are convincing advantages. An air-motor offers notable significance in both areas. When compared with an equivalent electric motor, an air-motor has only one-third of the size and one-fifth of the mass. This advantage is a supreme argument for the use of an air-motor in handheld machines and also in stationary equipment. However until now, there was a deficiency - the speed regulation.

Now, DEPRAG is offering a solution! With the help of a thought-out sensor technology, the powerful air-motor will always hold the desired, preset speed. It is characteristic for an air-motor, that it can be operated in a wide field of changing loads. When operated without load, the motor runs at its rated no-load-speed. If the load increases, the speed of the motor decreases. So, an air-motor can be operated at approx. 15% up to 100% of its nominal speed, depending on its load requirement. For applications, where the torque varies, the speed varies as well.
