Checklist to comply to ATEX: » To check that the air motor is designed for use in hazardous applications read the air motor label: » Hazardous zone » Hazardous category » Equipment group » Temperature class » Maximum surface temperatures » Check the air motor before installation and operation to see if it’s not damaged. » Any products that are driven by the air motor must meet appropriate ATEX approval as well to be used in a hazardous area. » The air motor should be connected to the earth with a maximum earth resistance of 1MΩ. The motor can be earthed by connecting the motor to a base plate/gearbox...

Correct installation is your responsibility! Make sure you have the proper installation conditions. A Install proper guard around the output shaft if needed. Wear eye protection: Airflow from product may contain solid or liquid materials that can result in eye or skin damage. A Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or property damage. It's important that no dust or debris can accumulate at the output shaft. This may damage the shaft seal. If the motor is built in a closed system or construction so that no dust or debris can get in contact with the output shaft the...

Installation Use a puller to remove pulleys, pinions and couplings. Check if the tension on the belt pulley matches the specifications of the manufacture. Do not exceed the maximum radial and axial forces on the shaft. If the motor shaft is connected to the part to be driven without a coupling, check that the radial offset and axial force effect will not cause problems. Use only belts with minimal 100 MΩ electrical leakage resistance to prevent static electrical problems. Air supply » Air supply to the motor should always be taken from non-hazardous area. » Remove the plastic shipping plugs from...

Airline filtration » Use a 64 |jm or finer air filter » The airline filter should be drained regularly and the element examined for signs of clogging. » The airline lubricator should be replenished when needed and set to give the following required drop rate/min: Continuous Operation Intermittent Operation » For normal ambient temperatures 0°C to 32°C. Use oil with viscosity ISO VG 32. » For extremes of ambient temperature consult the manufacturer. Ground the motor to the earth with a maximum earth resistance of 1MQ.

Operation » Check all connections before starting the air motor. It is your responsibility to operate this product at recommended speeds, loads and ambient temperatures (-20°C to +60°C) » Check if the airline filtration and airline lubrication is OK. The airline filter should be drained and/or cleaned regularly and the filter element examined for signs of clogging. » The maximum working pressure is 7 bar (100 PSI). » Clean surface of air motor unit thoroughly of all dustproofing products, contaminants and other impurities. Clean only with damp cloth. » Do not run the air motor at high speeds...

With the regulation of the inlet pressure and the flow rate, the performance can be adapted to the individual application. This is done by pressure or air flow regulation or a combination of both. The compressibility of the air generates a dampening effect in all ranges. This allows that the motor also can be started, while it is loaded. With a load reduction, the motor reacts immediately with an increase in speed. 1. Pressure regulation With pressure regulation the output power can be adjusted. When the supply pressure is decreased, the torque and power is reduced proportionally and the torque...

Maintenance Correct maintenance is your responsibility! Make sure you have the proper maintenance conditions. WARNING - Injury hazard Disconnect air supply and vent all air lines. Wear eye protection: Air stream from product may contain solid or liquid materials that can result in eye or skin damage. Flush this product in a well ventilated area. Do not use kerosene or other combustible solvents to flush this product. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or property damage. » Please ensure that maintenance is carried out by certified staff. You can order your service...
