Parker Hannifin has extended its P1V-M air vane motors range to include two new sizes, 900 and 1200 watts, combined with new ATEX (II 2 GD C IIC T4) certified variants and a non-gearbox derivative. Together with the existing 200, 400 and 600 watt models, the P1V-M series represents the largest power range available on the global market today.
The compact design helps to reduce machine build footprint in a wide range of industries, including machine building, food and beverage, packaging, conveying, chemicals and automotive. The P1V-M is also suitable for use in particularly harsh environments under extremes of vibration and operating at temperatures between -20 and 110°C. As there are no electrical connections, the air motor can be used in hazardous environments, hence the ATEX (II 2 GD C IIC T4) certification.
With its modular design and very attractive price-performance ratio the P1V-M can provide output shaft free speeds from 32 to 10 500 rpm, with torque up to 120 Nm. High levels of torque can be achieved at low speeds. In common with all Parker air motors the P1V-M can be used as a replacement for traditional electric motors, where power for power it offers a more compact and lightweight solution. With the ability to be loaded until it stalls, the P1V-M can be stopped and started continuously without damage, while the direction of rotation is reversible simply by changing the direction of airflow.
