48 Series Air Motors

The 48 Series Air Motors is a compressed-air-driven power tool designed for high-torque, variable-speed industrial duty where explosion-proof and overload-safe operation matters. With a spur gear and vane motor design, the 48 Series is great for demanding high torque applications. This foot-mounted air motor can handle instant starting and reversing, as well as variable speeds and torques. It also comes with increased side loading capabilities.

Pneumatic air motors convert compressed air into smooth rotary motion without the fire risk, sparking, or overheating concerns of electric drives, which makes them the standard choice for hazardous-location work such as engine barring, mixing, conveying, and winching. Because they stall safely under overload rather than burning out, air motors also tend to outlast electric alternatives in continuous-duty or start-stop production environments.

Variable speed and torque are controlled simply through air supply pressure and volume, giving operators fine control without complex electronics. Reversible operation, compact housings, and simple maintenance make this equipment a practical fit for barring diesel and gas engines, driving winches and hoists, and powering other rotary equipment on the plant floor or in the field.
