Lubrication free air motors<br />
<strong>Atlas</strong> <strong>Copco</strong>’s lubrication free air motors are<br />
equipped with low-friction vanes, sealed bearings<br />
and vented cylinder plates. Since they<br />
release no lubricants into the air, they offer a<br />
viable drive solution for sensitive processes<br />
and hygienic environments where oil contamination<br />
would be at best a problem and, at<br />
worst, a catastrophe.<br />
LZB 33 high torque –<br />
low speed air motors<br />
Accomplishing high torques generally calls for<br />
very large motors with correspondingly high air<br />
consumption. The LZB 33 high torque/low speed<br />
air motors are based on the combination of LZB<br />
33, the work horse in <strong>Atlas</strong> <strong>Copco</strong>´s air<br />
motor program, and the gears<br />
used in the large LZB 42-54<br />
motors. This gives a compact<br />
motor/gear package. The gears<br />
are dimensioned to stand being loaded at full stall torque<br />
indefinitely. Competing low speed air motors often have to<br />
limit their output torques to prevent gear breakage.<br />
LZB 22LR and 33LR –<br />
low speed air motors<br />
When there is a need for low speed only, the LR<br />
motors offer a complete and low price solution<br />
compared to the high torque LZB 33 airmotors.<br />
<strong>Motors</strong> with brake<br />
The most popular vane motors, LZB 33, are<br />
available with parking brake. This brake is located<br />
between the motor and the gear. It is a disc brake<br />
that is spring activated when the motor is not<br />
running. When the motor is started the brake is<br />
released by a built in pneumatic piston. The<br />
brake is used when it is important<br />
that the output shaft must not<br />
turn when the motor isn’t<br />
running and a torque is applied<br />
on the shaft.<br />

LZL Vane motors – 1.3 kW to 6.5 kW<br />
Type LZL <strong>Atlas</strong> <strong>Copco</strong> vane motors have been designed to<br />
offer outstanding starting and low speed performance. These<br />
general purpose motors are powerful, rugged and hard wearing,<br />

Helical gear units<br />
<strong>Atlas</strong> <strong>Copco</strong> helical gear units are normally fitted to Type LZL<br />
vane motors. Standard units are highly efficient, providing<br />
speeds of 500 r/min down to 15 r/min at torques of up to<br />
4500 Nm. The gear unit is flange-coupled to the motor and<br />
the shafts are joined by a flexible coupling, Figure 11.<br />
