Product catalog summary
Introduction to Pneumatic Motors
Pneumatic motors are recognized for their robustness and versatility, offering a superior power-to-weight ratio compared to electric motors. They are lightweight, compact, and capable of handling full torque without overheating, making them ideal for environments with potential electrical interference. These motors are ATEX certified for use in explosive environments.
LZL Series Vane Motors
The LZL series is praised for its excellent start-up behavior and performance at low speeds. Designed with minimal moving parts, these motors ensure durability and low air consumption. They are suitable for agitators and mixing plants, featuring oil-free operation, corrosion protection, and low maintenance requirements.
Oil-Free and Stainless Steel Motors
Oil-free LZL motors are reliable without the need for air lubrication, making them ideal for clean environments. Stainless steel versions are available for corrosive applications, particularly in the food and chemical industries, both with ATEX certification.
LZB Series Motors
The LZB motors are compact and efficient, combining pneumatic motors with planetary gears for space-saving solutions. Suitable for agitators and mixing plants, they offer high efficiency and explosion protection, compliant with NSF and FDA standards for food industry applications.
Applications and Case Study
Pneumatic motors are used in precision mixing and dispensing systems, such as those developed by Füll Systembau GmbH, providing a safe and reliable solution in explosive environments.
Pneumatic Motors Overview
Small LZB motors offer advantages like internal cooling by exhaust air, eliminating the need for bulky housing. Designed for agitators and mixing plants, they feature reinforced shaft bearings and oil-free vanes for operation with unlubricated compressed air.
PWIS Freedom
Oil-free operation is crucial to prevent lubricant particles from affecting mixture quality, especially in the automotive industry and industrial coatings where paint-wetting impairment substances (PWIS) can cause defects.
Performance and Efficiency
The LZB motors are noted for their high torque, low air requirements, and ease of regulation. They are user-friendly, requiring minimal training for operation. The LZB-33 series motors are compact and energy-efficient, reducing energy consumption by up to 60% compared to conventional 1000-W power units.
ATEX Certification
The document explains ATEX codes, classifying equipment based on their suitability for explosive atmospheres. The LZB motors are certified under explosion protection class Ex II 2GD c T6 IIC T85 °C, suitable for various hazardous zones.
Technical Specifications
The LZB-33 models offer torque values of 6.0 to 20.9 Nm and rated speeds of 611 to 171 RPM, available in four gear designs. Despite initial skepticism, these motors have proven durable and effective in mixing and agitating applications.

Agitator motors-3

explosive environments play it safe by choosing Pneumatic motors are the most robust and versatile drives available to designers and users today. They offer many advantages and the power-to-weight ratio is one of the main reasons to choose a pneumatic drive. Pneumatic motors have a power density that is significantly above that of almost any other motor: They are about 75% lighter and 85% smaller than asynchronous electric motors of the same power. Our pneumatic motors can be loaded to a standstill without any problems, even at full torque, and can be started and stopped any number of times without...

The LZL series of vane motors offer outstanding start-up behaviour and top performance even at low speeds. As the six vanes of an LZL motor are coupled in pairs and forcibly actuated, they hug the cylinder walls tightly at all times. This means the motor runs smoothly without any jerking, and ensures that air consumption is kept low. The motors are manufactured with very few moving parts and are extremely robust and durable. The models in the LZL 03 and 05 series are available as slow-running versions—specially designed for use in agitator motors and mixing plants—and as high-performance motors...

LZL high — performance motor Data at an operating pressure of 6.3 bar Oil-free motors The oil-free LZL motors are designed for maximum reliability at very low and medium speeds. As they do not need lubrication of the compressed air, the environment remains clean and there is no contamination from aerosols. These motors are ideal for such applications as agitators. To ensure cleanliness and hygiene, they use a double shaft seal. In addition, all components that come in contact with the media being mixed are made of corrosion-resistant material. The innovative design of the cylinder and highly...

The type LZL 05 motors are available in stainless steel versions. They have the same properties as the other lubricant-free motors. All external components including the drive shaft are made of stainless steel. This makes the motors corrosion-resistant and ideal for applications in the food industry, for agitators with corrosive media and the chemical industry. The motors come with explosion certification in compliance with ATEX directive EX II 2GD c T4 IICT110°C. The external components consist of stainless steel of quality ISO 683/Xlll type 17, SS 14 2346, DIN 17440 X 12CrNiS188. The drive...

The LZB 33 offers a power output of 380 watts and the four transmission levels permit torques of up to 40 Newton metres and idle speeds of up to 1180 RPM. Despite this high performance level, the air requirements for these conveniently small power packages with a mass of just 1.02 to 1.5 kg are only 8.1 litres per second. Motors in the LZB 33 series are extremely simple to integrate in components such as mixing containers or agitators: The standard Atlas Copco flange is the first standard solution that is suitable for the most common applications. There are also designs with a compact IEC flange....

Vane motors mix in the drum repository When it comes to dispensing, conveying and mixing paints and coatings, precision is key. The ingredients must be precise to the gram and must be suspended at defined speeds in order to counteract even minor tendencies to separate. Füll Systembau GmbH achieves this by using the new explosion-protected LZB agitator drives from Atlas Copco Tools. "I know that there is no all-purpose solution, but we are always looking for the safest and most efficient and durable solution for our customers". Sebastian Noll is quite uncompromising when he explains the philosophy...

Mixing systems with integrated explosion protection Füll prefers to use pneumatic drives from the LZB series for mixing the coatings in its plants. Unlike conventional electric motors, they are ATEX-certified. "Around 80 percent of our storage tanks and agitators are used in potentially explosive working environments, where there may be highly flammable solvent vapour, for example. With these pneumatic motors, we are on the safe side". The higher investment costs for electric motors when they are operated in potentially explosive environments—plus electrical installation—mean there are good reasons...

Simple handling and minimized energy requirements “By using these drives and through the customer-specific design of our agitators, we reduce their energy consumption by up to 60 percent”, says the very satisfied chemical engineer. In simple terms, this means a maximum consumption of only 8.1 l of compressed air per second in an uncompressed state compared to about 25 l/s for a 1000-W power unit that would otherwise conventionally be used. For a paint dispensing plant, which in some instances may have 24 or even more agitators, this means a significant reduction in operating costs for Füll customers....
