Air Motors/Gearmotors - 7063 Air Motors/Gearmotors

Known industry wide for their rugged construction and reliability, Gast AirMotors and air powered Gearmotors are used in a variety of applications.Lubricated Air Motors come in seven basic models up to 9.5 HP (7,1 kW);motor speeds are variable from 300 to 10,000 RPM. Oilless versions, which requireabsolutely no lubrication, come in three basic models ranging from .18 to .82 HP(0,13 to 0,61 kW) and with motor speeds up to 4,000 RPM. Choose from hub, foot, face, NEMA C-Flange or Metric D Series interface mountings and clockwise,counter-clockwise or reversible rotations. Four and eight vane models are alsoavailable.Air powered Gearmotors are available in right-angle and in-line modelsoffering a maximum torque range of 73 to 5,200 lb. in. (8 to 587 Nm) and gearratios from 10:1 to 60:1 single reduction gear reducers. A full line of recommended accessories is also available.

Why you should look into a Gast Air Motor

• Variable speed. • Minimum maintenance. • Self-sealing vanes.
You can vary motor speed between 300 and 10,000 rpm (depending on modelselection) with a simple valve put inbetween the air source and air motor. You can put a Gast Air Motor in placeswhere they will not get much service,because there’s virtually nothing to service ona Gast Air Motor, providing it is operated on aclean, dry, and lubricated air supply*. Vanes are self-sealing and automatically take up their own wear, thus ensuring con-stant output for thousands of hours of use. • Mounting flexibility. • Non-electrical sparking.
Foot, hub, face, NEMA-C or metric flangemountings are standard equipment for mostair motor sizes. As a non-electrical device, the possibility ofexplosion from igniting flammable gases isreduced. • Will not burn out.
Gast Air Motors can be stalled or overloadedfor long periods without damage. • Four-vane or eight-vane. • Instantly reversible. • Low price.
Four-vane units meet most requirements, but for more precise inching control andminimum blow-by in applications where motor is operating in a stalled condition,specify eight-vane models. A four-way valve in the air line enablesa Gast Air Motor to be instantly reversed. Aturn of the valve causes a completereversal of rotation, even when the motor is running at full speed. Cost is less than other motors of equal horsepower and capabilities. • Operate in all positions.
Mount them sideways, upside-down, or in any position so long as adequatelubrication* is provided and end thrustis kept to design limits. Gearmotors will op- erate in almost any position exceptwith the output shaft up. • Long-life accessories. • Cool running .
To ensure long life, Gast offers accessories designed to extend unit life including air fil-ters that remove water and particles down to 5 microns, and air line lubricators thatsupply a constant flow of lubrication auto-matically*. We can supply a pressure regu- lator that provides precise control of powerand operating speed. Options like thesehelp you get smooth performance withminimum maintenance.*Non-lubricated series does not require alubricator As the air motor turns, expanded air coolsthe motor. Units can be used in ambienttemperatures up to 250 ° F (120 ° C). • Compact and portable. • No-shock starts.
Get maximum horsepower with minimumsize and weight. Because Gast Air Motors go to workwith air-cushioned smoothness, theycut stress on your equipment. 2
