Parker Pneumatichas chosen to use the vane rotor design, because of its simpledesign and reliable operation. The small external dimensions ofvane motors make them suitable for all applications.The principle of the vane motor is that a rotor with a numberof vanes is enclosed in a rotor cylinder. The motor is suppliedwith compressed air through one connection and air escapesfrom the other connection. The air pressure always bears atright angles against a surface. This means that the torque of themotor is a result of the vane surfaces and the air pressure.Optimum working range of motor.Higher speeds = more vane wearLower speeds with high torque = more gearboxweara family of curves as above, from which torque, power and airconsumption can be read off as a function of speed. Power iszero when the motor is stationary and also when running at freespeed (100%) with no load. Maximum power (100%) is normallydeveloped when the motor is braked to approximately half thefree speed (50%).Torque at free speed is zero, but increases as soon as a loadis applied, rising linearly until the motor stalls. As the motor canstop with the vanes in various positions, it is not possible tospecify an exact starting torque. However, a minimum startingtorque is shown in all tables.<strong>Air</strong> consumption is greatest at free speed, and decreases withdecreasing speed, as shown in the above diagram.Please refer to the curve on page 26for these pressures:3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 bar6Parker Hannifin CorporationPneumatic Division - Europe
