The pneumatic or air motor drive has these advantages:

• Service supply is piping rather than wiring
• Iinstallation can usaully be completed by plant personnel
• Problems are usually easier to diagnose
• Compact drive package

The pneumatic motor drive has some potential problems. They are:

• Large volumes of compressed air are required
• Additional compressed air supply equipment may be necessary
• Unmuffled exhaust can be very loud
• Subject to pressure supply variations
• System pressure drop should be kept to a minimum
• Require clean compressed air & regular maintenance

Our Engineering Department is very knowledgeable.  We offer free assistance to determine if your compressed air system has the capacity for a pneumatic drive.
