Atlas Copco air motors - IAG

Introduction to Atlas Copco
air motors and gear units
LZB Vane motors – 0.1 kW to 1.2 kW
Type LZB Atlas Copco vane motors are compact in design, light in
weight, and available with a host of different gear ratios to meet a
variety of speed and torque requirements. They are particularly
suited to be built into hand held machines, or indeed any industrial
equipment.
Planetary gear units
Atlas Copco planetary gear units are particularly suited for use with
LZB vane motors. The gear and motor components can be accommodated
within a single, extremely compact housing where they
provide high torque capacity for their size and exceptional efficiency,

Stainless steel air motors
Atlas Copco’s stainless steel motors enlarge the field of applications
to areas where the environment is corrosive. This can be in
the food processing industries where corroding detergents are used
or in the chemical industry where the atmosphere as such is corrosive.
Atlas Copco’s stainless steel motors have a “clean“ design. Their
smooth surfaces are cylindrical with no pockets where dirt can
collect. The motors are easy to clean.
The motors have double seals in Viton at the shaft end to prevent
water from entering the gears.
Explosion proof
Our air motors are available in explosion proof certified versions,
in compliance with the European Union.s ATEX Directive on
equipment for potentially explosive environments.
Ex-Certified air motors are ideal in hazardous environments, where
sparks or high outer temperatures might otherwise ignite explosive
gases, vapour or dust.
