Designed for industrial equipment requiring high-torque pneumatic rotary power, the Ingersoll Rand 48RA017 Reversible Multi-Vane Air Motor delivers 3.1 HP with a 511 RPM operating speed, 86 ft-lbs starting torque, and 117 ft-lbs stall torque. The reversible multi-vane design allows clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, providing flexibility for applications requiring controlled speed, high torque output, and reliable compressed-air-powered operation.
The 48RA017 air motor is designed for industrial machinery and OEM applications where pneumatic power is preferred. Its lower operating speed and increased torque characteristics make it suitable for equipment requiring greater turning force during startup and operation, including pumps, mixers, conveyors, winches, and other rotary drive systems. Pneumatic operation allows speed adjustment through air regulation while maintaining dependable torque performance.

FAQs:
- Q: What does reversible operation mean on the 48RA017 air motor?
A: Reversible operation allows the motor shaft to rotate in both directions, making it suitable for equipment requiring forward and reverse rotation. - Q: What is the advantage of the 48RA017 compared with higher-speed air motors?
A: The 48RA017 operates at a lower speed while providing higher torque output, making it suitable for applications requiring greater turning force. - Q: What is the difference between starting torque and stall torque?
A: Starting torque is the available torque when the motor begins rotating from rest, while stall torque is the torque available when the motor is stopped while operating under air pressure. - Q: Can the speed of the 48RA017 be adjusted?
A: Yes, air motor speed can typically be controlled by regulating compressed air flow to match application requirements.
