SM Series Air Motors

The SM Series Air Motors is an industrial pneumatic air motor built to deliver dependable rotary power in applications where electric motors are impractical or unsafe. Direct drive vane air motors with mechanical vane extension makes these motors ideal for low pressure operation and ideal replacements for electric motors. Comes in the face, flange, foot and nema mounting options and can handle variable speeds and torques.

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.
