Cleco A2R301M A2 Series Reversible Axial Piston Air Motor | 0.6 HP | 1,170 RPM | 8 (ft-lbs) Stall Torque | Rear Exhaust

When a compact drive package needs reversible rotation without relying on an electric motor, the Cleco A2R301M A2 Series Reversible Axial Piston Air Motor provides 0.6 HP power output with a 1,170 RPM free speed for machinery, fixtures, and powered equipment requiring controlled rotary motion. Its axial piston design uses piston-driven air power to deliver smooth torque in either direction, while the 8 ft-lbs stall torque rating helps the motor hold up when the load stops rotation instead of burning out like many electric motors under stall conditions.

The A2R301M is part of Cleco’s A2 Series axial piston motor family and is configured with reversible operation, a 7/8" keyed spindle, 4.1:1 gear ratio, and rear exhaust. Rear exhaust routes spent air away from the mounting area, making this motor useful for machinery integrations where airflow direction, spindle style, and speed selection matter as much as output power.

Type: Reversible Axial Piston Air Motor | Series: A2 Series | Model: A2R301M | Spindle Type: Keyed | Spindle Size: 7/8" | Power: 0.6 HP / 0.45 kW | Free Speed: 1,170 RPM | Speed at Max HP: 575 RPM | Stall Torque: 8 ft-lbs | Gear Ratio: 4.1:1 | Air Consumption: 21.2 SCFM | Length: 12.12" | Control: Reversible | Exhaust: Rear

Features:

• Axial piston air motor construction provides smooth rotary output for powered machinery and fixture-driven applications.
• Reversible operation allows clockwise or counterclockwise rotation where bidirectional drive control is required.
• 0.6 HP / 0.45 kW output supports compact pneumatic drive installations without requiring an electric motor package.
• 1,170 RPM free speed offers a faster A2 Series option for applications that need speed more than high stall torque.
• 8 ft-lbs stall torque gives the motor usable load-holding capability when rotation is stopped by resistance.
• 7/8" keyed spindle provides a positive mechanical drive interface for couplings, pulleys, sprockets, and other compatible driven components.
• Rear exhaust directs spent air away from the front spindle area to help simplify installation layout.
• 4.1:1 gear ratio balances output speed and torque for mid-speed pneumatic drive applications.

Applications:

• Industrial automation and machinery — driving compact mechanisms, indexing devices, rotating fixtures, and production equipment where pneumatic power is preferred.
• Packaging and material handling equipment — powering small conveyors, feed systems, rollers, and reversible motion assemblies.
• Mixing, winding, and take-up systems — providing controlled rotary motion where stall-tolerant pneumatic operation is useful.
• Plant maintenance and MRO — replacing or specifying air-driven rotary power in equipment exposed to repeated starts, stops, or overload conditions.
• OEM machine building — integrating a compact reversible motor into pneumatic systems where electrical components may be less practical.

FAQs:

• Q: What does axial piston air motor mean?
  A: An axial piston air motor uses pistons arranged along the motor axis to convert compressed air into rotary motion. This design is commonly selected when the application needs smooth torque, reversible operation, and stall tolerance.
• Q: Can the A2R301M run in both directions?
  A: Yes. The A2R301M is a reversible air motor, allowing the output spindle to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise when installed with the proper pneumatic controls.
• Q: What is stall torque?
  A: Stall torque is the torque available when the motor is stopped by load resistance. The A2R301M is rated at 8 ft-lbs stall torque, which helps buyers compare it against slower, higher-torque A2 Series models.
• Q: How much air does this motor require?
  A: The manufacturer lists air consumption at 21.2 SCFM. The air supply, regulator, hose, and fittings should be sized to maintain the required flow during operation.
• Q: Is this the best A2 Series model for high-torque applications?
  A: This model is the faster 1,170 RPM option in the A2 Series and has an 8 ft-lbs stall torque rating. For lower-speed, higher-torque applications, compare it against other A2 Series models with larger gear reductions.
