ARMAK Geared Piston Motors were designed for Applications
ARMAK Geared Piston Motors were initially designed as air motors and can be supplied in the range from 2 - 16 kW.
The basic design principle was kept, and the motors are now supplied also as gas pressure motors to run on non corrosive media with temperatures up to 150 °C and pressures up to 15 bar.
On the Air Motors the torque is developed by one rotating piston and is transferred to the output shaft with a synchronising gear train. Both rotating piston and sealing rotor are turning without physical contact and with an extremely small air gap for high motor efficiency.
On Gas Pressure Motors and Water Motors the rotating piston shaft is the output shaft.
This frictionless operation results in long maintenance free operation without downtime. The totally closed motor housing without breather holes permits applications in wet or dirty surroundings without danger of corrosion in the motor and it is leak proof.
ARMAK Geared Piston Motors are designed for difficult, critical applications.
