Designed for machinery, fixtures, and production equipment requiring higher-speed pneumatic rotary power, the Ingersoll Rand 8617-A Non-Reversible Multi-Vane Air Motor delivers 0.10 HP with a 5,000 RPM free speed. Its 3/8"-24 threaded spindle provides a defined mounting interface for compatible driven components, while the single gear reduction supports this model's higher-speed operating characteristics.
At maximum horsepower, the 8617-A operates at 2,500 RPM and produces 0.21 lb-ft (0.3 Nm) of torque, with stall torque rated at 0.42 lb-ft (0.6 Nm). Free-speed air consumption is 9.5 SCFM (4.5 L/s), giving equipment designers and maintenance teams a practical value for sizing the compressed-air supply.

FAQs:
- Q: What is the free speed of the Ingersoll Rand 8617-A?
A: The 8617-A has a free speed of 5,000 RPM. At maximum horsepower, its specified load speed is 2,500 RPM. - Q: How much torque does the 8617-A produce?
A: The motor produces 0.21 lb-ft (0.3 Nm) at maximum horsepower and has a stall torque rating of 0.42 lb-ft (0.6 Nm). - Q: What spindle configuration does the 8617-A use?
A: The 8617-A uses a 3/8"-24 threaded spindle. The mating component should be compatible with this spindle size and thread configuration. - Q: What is the air consumption of the 8617-A?
A: Ingersoll Rand specifies free-speed air consumption at 9.5 SCFM (4.5 L/s). This value should be considered when sizing the compressed-air supply for the installation. - Q: How does the 8617-A differ from the 8616-A?
A: Both are non-reversible 0.10 HP motors with 3/8"-24 threaded spindles. The 8617-A uses single gear reduction and runs at 5,000 RPM free speed, while the 8616-A uses double gear reduction and runs at 1,000 RPM, resulting in different speed and torque characteristics.
