Ingersoll Rand SM1AMAL-A SM Series Direct Drive Vane Air Motor is designed for clean, consistent pneumatic rotary power in applications where oil contamination must be avoided. This 0.45 HP lube-free air motor provides a 15,000 RPM free speed, 0.4 lb-ft starting torque, and 0.57 lb-ft stall torque. The SM Series combines lube-free airline operation with a self-regulating cooling system that helps maintain optimal temperatures, even in hot or humid environments.
The SM1AMAL-A is the Left-Hand Bias version of the SM Series and is designed for responsive pneumatic operation with easy throttling and quick start-and-stop response. Its compact design supports versatile equipment integration, while the SM Series mounting options include Foot, Flange, Hub, and NEMA configurations. The series is also ATEX- and CE-certified for operation in hazardous locations.
