GAST 6AM-NRV-11A Air Motor 4 Hp, 3000 Rpm

Gast 6AM-NRV-11A air motor is a pneumatic device used in the manufacturing, automation and material handling industries, enhancing productivity and efficiency. It converts compressed air into mechanical energy, offering reliable and adjustable power. This motor is suitable for driving machinery, agitators, conveyor systems and more.

Working Mechanism:

• This Gast 6AM-NRV-11A air motor operates on a pneumatic principle, using compressed air as its energy source.
• When compressed air is supplied to the motor, it enters the motor's chambers and causes the vanes to move within a cylindrical housing.
• This vane is pushed by the air, creating a rotating motion.
• As the vane rotates, it transfers this energy to the output shaft, which can be used to drive machinery or perform other mechanical work.

Features:

• This air motor can deliver a maximum of 4 hp, providing robust mechanical power.
• It is equipped with four vanes to optimise its performance.
• This air motor features a keyed output shaft for precise and reliable power transmission.
• It is designed for flange mounting, ensuring stability and ease of installation.
• This air motor produces a maximum sound level of 90 dBA during operation.
• It operates effectively at a maximum pressure of 101.53 psi, ensuring reliable performance.
• This air motor has a 1/2 inch NPT port size and type, facilitating air intake and exhaust.
