Air Motors A jb Wr jjjH
0 From 1/3 to 3 HP, Thomas rotary vane air motors provide reliable power for hundreds of demanding OEM and industrial applications. These
compact and lightweight models (2-28 lbs.) feature variable speed operation from 300-10,000 RPM. Interchangeable with most competitive
models, Thomas rotary vane air motors can operate in any position and are available in four mounts: hub mount, face mount, base mount, and
NEMA mount.
0 In addition, all models can operate in clockwise or counter-clockwise rotations and most models can be instantly reversed with the turn of a
four-way valve. Bum-out and stall-proof without damage if subjected to overloading. Thomas air motors also feature smooth air-cushioned
starting and quiet operation.
0 Four-vane models provide maximum efficiency for most standard applications, and optional eight-vane models minimize blow-by for spe
cial inching and stalied-condition applications. The rotary vanes are made of a special material that resists moisture absorption and swelling
allowing them to perform well at high ambient temperatures and safely in wet or harsh environments. Plus, springloading of the vanes
provides maximum sealing and torque at low speeds.
