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...

Installation Correct installation is your responsibility! Make sure you have the proper installation conditions. WARNING - Injury hazard 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. 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...

In order to guarantee the maximum performance and service life of these motors it is essential that the following points are strictly observed and obeyed. » Mount the unit to the construction. Care should be taken, when fitting drive components to the shaft, that excessive force is not used. This will upset the shaft alignments which has been kept to a minimum in order to give high motor performance. » Use the proper sized fasteners. » Axial loads must be kept to a minimum. » Silencer supplied with motor » Max. radial load midway along shaft as shown in graph below: Ground the motor to the earth...

Installation Air supply » Air supply to the motor should always be taken from non-hazardous area. » Remove the plastic shipping plugs from the ports. Save the plugs for the future, during shutdown. » Please make sure that the temperature of the air used for air supply to the air motor don’t exceed the following temperatures, -20°C to +40°C. » Install a filter (64 micron) to make sure the air is clean and dry and install an air pressure regulator to control motor speed and torque. » A lubricator must be placed inside the main airline near the motor. Choose a lubricator suitable for the flow required....

» 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. 8 ■ GLOBE AIRMOTORS MANUAL | VA4J&X | VS4C | VA4C | ATEX certified

Operation Correct operation is your responsibility! Make sure you have the proper operation conditions. WARNING - Injury hazard Wear eye protection: Air stream from product may contain solid or liquid materials that can result in eye or skin damage. Wear hearing protection: The noise level from the air motor may exceed 85 dB(A) Do not use combustible gases to drive this air motor Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or property damage. WARNING: POTENTIAL ELECTROSTATIC CHARGING HAZARD Before use clean only with damp cloth. Avoid electrostatic charging mechanisms stronger...

» 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 no load....

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. 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 curve becomes flatter....
