Can The Air Motor Be Customized?

Apr 27, 2020

The air motor is a prime mover that converts compressed air into mechanical energy to drive the equipment. Do you know that the air motor can be customized? What is the development trend of the air motor market? Let ’s take a look at it together!

First, what kind of components are air motors?

Pneumatic motor is a kind of pneumatic actuator for continuous rotary motion. It is an energy conversion device that converts the pressure energy of compressed air into rotary mechanical energy. Its function is equivalent to an electric motor or hydraulic motor. For rotary motion, vane, piston and gear air motors are widely used in pneumatic transmission. The piston type air motor is mainly composed of: motor housing, connecting rod, crankshaft, piston, cylinder, gas distribution valve, etc.

Compressed air enters the valve spool and rotates. At the same time, the valve spool rotates to send the compressed air to the surrounding cylinders in turn. Due to the expansion of the compressed air in the cylinder, the piston connecting rod and crankshaft are rotated. When pushed to the "bottom dead point", the valve spool also turns to the exhaust position, and the expanded gas is discharged directly from the cylinder through the exhaust port of the valve. At the same time, all the remaining gas in the piston cylinder is discharged from the exhaust port of the distribution valve spool. After this reciprocating cycle, the crankshaft can continuously rotate.

2. Can the air motor be customized?

Now the air motors used in many equipment are not available on the market, so many customers will ask, can we design the air motor we want, can this type of air motor be self-made? What equipment do I need to make? Here, our engineers solve the following problems for everyone. If you want to make a small air motor, the simple tools need to have a remote control car and an air pump. If you only have an air pressure of 4KG, you want to replace the motor with a pneumatic horse. The torque is relatively high, and the speed is a bit slow.

Generally used for the use of pneumatic motors and pneumatic tools, the mechanical output of the machine is likely to be small. If you like the load driven by a 5.5KW motor, it should be a relatively large power transmission. If you use an air conditioner motor with a load, the starting force is equivalent, the starting current is quite large, but there will be unevenness, so we do not recommend you to use it. If you need to customize the pneumatic mixer, please communicate with our company in time.

Third, the development trend of the air motor market

Pneumatic tools, like electronic appliances and hydraulics, are one of the effective technologies for production process automation. They are widely used in various departments. According to statistics, in industrially developed countries, about 30% of fully automated processes Pneumatic tools. The research and application of manufacturing and pneumatic technology started late in China, but there has been great development in the past decade. Pneumatic technology has been gradually applied to various industrial sectors and has played a significant role in production. Pneumatic tools are used like electric tools, and even more convenient to use than electric tools. Pneumatic tool bodies have the advantages of small size, long life, high safety, and more energy saving. As far as the current overall situation is concerned, the varieties and specifications of pneumatic tools are relatively complete.
