Modec air motors have been a reliable alternative to electric motors for over 30 years, particularly in industries like chemical, petrochemical, and automotive. These motors are known for their robustness, flexibility, and high-quality standards, being assembled in France with parts from selected suppliers.
Air motors are preferred for their reliability, ability to operate without lubrication, and resistance to electromagnetic fields. They are compact, easy to maintain, and suitable for various industries, including nuclear, marine, pharmaceutical, and oil & gas.
Modec air motors are versatile, finding applications in industries such as textile, nuclear, marine, pharmaceutical, printing, food & beverage, and oil & gas. They are appreciated for their adaptability to harsh environments and specific industry requirements.
The air motor operates using a vane system within a stator, where pressurized air causes the rotor to turn, generating motion. The motor's power depends on air pressure and flow, with speed and torque being inversely related.
Choosing the right air motor involves understanding the specific application requirements, such as speed and torque, rather than focusing solely on power. Adjustments can be made through air flow and pressure control to meet specific needs.

The Power / Weight output of an air motor is 5 to 6 times higher than that of an electric motor. This makes it ideal for portable applications and / or in cases of space constraints. No spark, no hot spot, hence no risk of fire or explosion in sensitive environments. Air motors deliver a wide speed span that automatically adapts to the required load. All our motors can be ATEX certified on request. Rotation direction, speed and torque are easy to control and adjust, even while motor is running. Remote control is easy to implement. Air motors work in any position. Operating temperature range:...

HOW DOES IT WORK ? Torque (Nm) An air motor gets its mechanical power from a gas expansion (usually compressed air). Its main characteristics are safety, reliability & compactness. It is easy to use, transport and store. Air motor power first depends on the air (or any other inert gas) supply pressure and flow. For a given supply, there is an inverse relation between speed and torque. Changing the injection point will make the rotor turn the other way around. Thus, changing rotation from clockwise to counterclockwise is possible by simply changing the injection point on the motor. Modec geared...

4 HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT MOTOR ? A common mistake when choosing an air motor is to focus on its main performances only, without considering the application requirements and the type of work expected from the motor. A TOUCH OF MAGIC IN A BOX Thanks to the integrated gearbox, modec geared air motors deliver speed and torque ranges which are appropriate to different applications’ requirements. And this while keeping a maximum compactness and a close to 100% efficiency. A planetary gearbox is a quite simple mechanism: One or more satellites orbit around the rotor output pinion and drive the output...

READY TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT MOTOR ? GET THE RIGHT WORKING RANGE Torque (Nm) To be sure that the motor is adequate, you need not only the right power, but also the right reduction ratio. Simply plot the working point of the application (speed and torque) on the torque/speed curve of each selected motor as shown. If this point is below the torque/speed curve, the motor will be able to do the job. But if the point is above the curve, the motor will not fit your needs. CHOICE OF THE POWER RANGE Once you know the speed and torque required for your application, you can calculate the power required and...

6 AIR MOTORS STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE INGRESS PROTECTION INDEX (IP) With a collected exhaust, our motors can be considered equivalent to IP52. Modec air motors must be stored in a dry environment to avoid any corrosion of mechanical parts. Before storing a motor, introduce 10 drops of modec oil into the supply port and run the motor for a few seconds. Before restarting the motor after a long storage period or before using it for the first time, introduce 10 drops of modec oil into the inlet port. Maintenance must be carried out by skilled technicians trained by modec, in compliance with the instructions...
