Cleco 22M5340-50 Non-Reversible Rotary Vane Air Motor | 0.9 HP | 3,200 RPM | 5.8 (ft-lbs) Stall Torque | Rear Exhaust

Built for dedicated one-direction pneumatic drive applications that need higher speed from a compact motor package, the Cleco 22M5340-50 is a 22 Series non-reversible rotary vane air motor rated at 0.9 HP with a 3,200 RPM free speed. A rotary vane air motor uses sliding vanes inside the motor chamber to convert compressed air into smooth shaft rotation, making it useful for machine-mounted drives, fixtures, packaging equipment, and OEM mechanisms where air power is preferred over an electric motor.

This model provides 5.8 ft-lbs of stall torque, which is the torque available when the motor stops under load, and uses a 7.1:1 gear ratio to balance speed with usable turning force. The 1/2" keyed spindle gives buyers a positive mechanical connection point for compatible couplings, sprockets, pulleys, or hubs, while the rear exhaust configuration routes exhaust air out the back of the motor for installations where side exhaust is not preferred.

Features:

• 0.9 HP rotary vane motor supplies compact pneumatic power for machine-mounted and fixture-driven applications.
• Non-reversible operation is suited to dedicated single-direction drive tasks where reverse rotation is not required.
• 3,200 RPM free speed supports faster rotary output for auxiliary machinery, production equipment, and OEM drive functions.
• 5.8 ft-lbs stall torque helps the motor tolerate load stops without the same burnout concern associated with many electric motors.
• 7.1:1 gear ratio reduces motor speed while multiplying torque for controlled mechanical drive use.
• 1/2" keyed spindle provides a secure drive connection for compatible hubs, couplings, pulleys, or sprockets.
• Flange and base mounting configuration supports secure installation on machine frames, plates, brackets, and fixtures.
• Rear exhaust configuration routes exhaust air out the back of the motor, which may simplify air management in certain machine layouts.

Applications:

• Packaging and production machinery — powering small rotary drive functions, indexing mechanisms, feed systems, and adjustment assemblies.
• Fixture and tooling systems — driving turntables, rollers, clamps, and custom shop-built mechanisms that operate in one direction.
• OEM equipment integration — adding compact pneumatic rotary power to machinery where air control and stall tolerance are useful design factors.
• Conveyor and material handling support — operating auxiliary drive points, rollers, and light machine functions at higher output speed.
• Industrial maintenance and MRO — replacing compatible air motors or building repair fixtures, test stands, and pneumatic drive assemblies.

FAQs:

• Q: What does non-reversible mean on the 22M5340-50?
  A: Non-reversible means the motor is intended to operate in one direction only. It is best used on dedicated drive functions where the mechanism does not need to run backward.
• Q: When should I choose this rear exhaust model?
  A: Choose a rear exhaust configuration when routing exhaust air out the back of the motor works better for the machine layout. This can help keep exhaust away from nearby components, guards, fixtures, or operator-facing areas depending on how the motor is mounted.
• Q: What does 5.8 ft-lbs stall torque tell me?
  A: Stall torque is the turning force available when the motor is loaded until it stops. At 5.8 ft-lbs, this model is better suited to speed-focused rotary drive work than high-torque low-speed applications.
• Q: What air supply does this Cleco air motor require?
  A: The motor is rated at 29 SCFM air consumption and 90 PSI operating pressure. Size the air system so it can maintain that flow at the motor after accounting for hose length, fittings, regulators, filters, lubricators, and other equipment sharing the same supply.
• Q: What connects to the 1/2" keyed spindle?
  A: The 1/2" keyed spindle is used with compatible couplings, hubs, sprockets, pulleys, or other driven components. The keyway helps lock the mating component to the shaft so torque can be transmitted more securely.
