Performance and Customization
Air motor performance is influenced by inlet pressure, with options to regulate speed and torque. Atlas Copco provides customization options, including ATEX-certified solutions for enhanced safety, and an online selection tool for quick motor selection.
Industry Applications
Atlas Copco air motors are used in industries such as food processing, chemical and pharmaceutical, maintenance, transportation, pipe processing, and machine tool building, offering features like stainless steel construction, ATEX certification, and high power-to-weight ratios.
Motor Selection and Installation
The document emphasizes selecting a motor that operates efficiently at the desired working point, considering factors like starting torque and stall torque. It outlines recommended dimensions for air lines and the importance of air preparation, including filters, lubricators, and pressure regulators.
Lubrication and Maintenance
Atlas Copco's LZB Vane air motors are designed to operate with lubrication-free vanes, reducing maintenance needs. The document provides a table showing how lubrication affects service life and power output.
Environmental Considerations
The motors are designed for hostile environments, including acidic, explosive, and high-temperature conditions. Consultation with Atlas Copco representatives is recommended for challenging environments.
Control Valves and Modifying Motor Output
Directional control valves are used to start, stop, or change motor rotation. The document explains the use of 3/2 and 5/3 valves for non-reversible and reversible motors, respectively.
Special Features for Specific Applications
Features include lubrication-free design for contamination-critical processes, silicon-free construction for painting applications, and food-grade lubrication for food industries. ATEX certification is mentioned for explosive environments.
Vane Air Motors – LZB Series
The LZB vane air motors are highlighted for their versatility, durability, and adaptability, suitable for various industries. Specifications for different models include power output, speed, and torque.
Conclusion
Atlas Copco's air motors are designed to be reliable, adaptable, and easy to integrate, providing long-term solutions for various industrial applications. Their commitment to innovation and customer support ensures businesses can design with confidence and efficiency.
Technical Specifications and Performance Data
The document provides detailed specifications and performance data for various models of industrial air motors, focusing on vane motors (LZB, LZL) and turbine air motors (TZB). It includes information on performance curves, dimensions, and operational parameters at a standard air pressure of 6.3 bar (91 psi).
ATEX Certification and Compliance
Ensure components have a valid EU Declaration of Conformity and certification from a notified body when necessary. Compatibility with mechanical and electrical interfaces is crucial, and mixing components with conflicting protection concepts should be avoided.
Air Motor Efficiency and Sustainability
Atlas Copco offers advanced vane air motors with a zero-clearance design, requiring 20% less air than standard models. Piston motors further reduce energy needs by 20%, and turbine air motors offer a 40% to 60% reduction in energy consumption.
Stainless Steel Air Motors
Stainless steel construction provides superior resistance to corrosion and wear, simplifying integration in harsh environments. It is ideal for sanitary environments due to its non-porous surface, meeting stringent hygiene standards.
Customized Air Motors
Customized solutions offer seamless integration into existing designs, reducing the need for costly modifications. This approach protects project budgets, ensures easy integration, and saves development time by avoiding major design changes.

Introducing the air motor The air motor is one of the toughest and most versatile power units available to today’s design engineer. It is easy to control over a wide speed range and produces maximum torque at start-up, when it is often most needed. maximum power occurring at around 50% of the free speed. The torque produced at this point is often referred to as ”torque at maximum output.” The performance of an air motor is dependent on the inlet pressure. At a constant inlet pressure, ungoverned air motors exhibit the characteristic linear output torque/speed relationship. Figure 3. The performance...
