Ingersoll Rand 17RA008 Spur Gear Reversible Multi-Vane Air Motor is designed to provide dependable pneumatic rotary power for industrial applications requiring reversible operation, controlled speed, and increased torque output. This air motor delivers 2.3 HP with a free speed of 760 RPM. Its spur-gear and multi-vane configuration provides a pneumatic drive solution for compatible OEM machinery, production equipment, and rotary applications that require bidirectional operation.
The 17RA008 provides 35 ft-lbs starting torque, offering a reference for the torque available to initiate rotation from rest, and 54.5 ft-lbs stall torque, representing the maximum torque produced when the output shaft is prevented from rotating. The reversible design allows operation in both rotational directions, while the 760 RPM speed provides a balance between rotary speed and torque capability for compatible equipment.
