Ingersoll Rand 3800Q Multi-Vane Non-Reversible Air Motor is designed to provide dependable pneumatic rotary power for industrial equipment requiring high output torque at reduced operating speeds. Part of the 3800 Series, this air motor delivers 1.45 HP with a free speed of 375 RPM. Its durable multi-vane design converts compressed air into smooth, continuous rotary motion, while the non-reversible configuration provides reliable single-direction operation for demanding industrial applications such as conveyors, mixers, processing equipment, material handling systems, and OEM machinery.
The 3800Q develops 62 ft-lbs starting torque, providing substantial breakaway force for initiating rotation under heavy loads, and 83.5 ft-lbs stall torque, representing the maximum torque produced when the output shaft is prevented from rotating. This combination of controlled operating speed and increased torque makes the motor well suited for applications requiring dependable pneumatic performance and sustained rotary output.

FAQs:
- Q: Is the Ingersoll Rand 3800Q reversible?
A: No. This model is a non-reversible air motor intended for continuous operation in one rotational direction. - Q: What is a multi-vane air motor?
A: A multi-vane air motor uses sliding vanes inside a rotor to convert compressed air into smooth, continuous rotary motion with consistent power delivery. - Q: What is the rated free speed?
A: The manufacturer specifies a free speed of 375 RPM. - Q: What is the difference between starting torque and stall torque?
A: Starting torque is the torque available to begin rotating a load from rest, while stall torque is the maximum torque developed when the output shaft is prevented from rotating. - Q: What should be verified before installation?
A: Confirm horsepower, free speed, rotation direction, shaft dimensions, mounting arrangement, and compressed-air requirements using the Ingersoll Rand Air Motor Catalog before installation.
