Piston air motors stand out in manufacturing for many reasons. Adding a stainless steel version to our PZB family will significantly expand the role of these products and their adoption.
The piston air motor improves operational efficiency and offers unique low-speed and high-starting torque features. The main reason they’re so much more efficient is because piston air motors create much less friction than vane air motors. Naturally, the pistons move at a much lower speed, so it will be much easier to control the speed, making it unnecessary to add a gear package.
PZB piston pneumatic motors offer a remarkable savings advantage, consuming 20-40% less energy than vane pneumatic motors. Their extended lifespan will optimize the operational process and reduce the time it takes to complete applications. This lubrication-free piston design also allows for an extended lifetime.
Another great benefit of PZB technology compared to other vane motor technologies is the life between service intervals. The PZB has four to six times more operation hours before service than a regular air motor, which results in a sizeable savings for customers. Usually, the standard motor has 1,000 to 2,000 hours before service, whereas with a PZB, we recommend service before 6,000 hours.
In an era where environmental consciousness is crucial, a commitment to sustainability is not just a choice but a responsibility. Embracing sustainability is a pledge to safeguard our planet for future generations and create a harmonious balance between economic prosperity and environmental well-being. Atlas Copco’s PZB piston air motors are an example of the many innovations Atlas Copco is bringing to market to help our customers achieve their sustainability goals.
To sum it up
The PZB range of piston air motors is efficient and has unique features such as low-speed and high-starting torque, which add value in many applications. Their additional operational advantages make them a more practical choice compared to vane motors.
