An air motor, also known as a pneumatic motor, is a device that converts compressed air energy into mechanical work through either linear or rotary motion. These motors are commonly utilized in applications where electric sparks pose a risk, such as in chemical plants or oil refineries; their use is also favored in environments where electric power is not available or reliable.
Air motors are known for their rugged construction and ability to operate in extreme conditions, including high temperatures, wet processes, and dusty or corrosive environments. The use of air motors has expanded largely due to their safety advantages in hazardous environments and their high power-to-weight ratio compared to conventional electric motors.
Additionally, increasing automation in various industries, which creates a demand for reliable and safe machinery to operate in challenging conditions, provides scope for the adoption of air motors. However, air motors can be less energy-efficient than electric motors, as they tend to use more energy to produce equivalent mechanical work. This is largely because compressed air can be an expensive form of energy due to its generation and treatment requirements. Addressing this involves optimizing the operation of air motors and the systems that supply them with air, focusing on improving air compression technologies, and enhancing the overall design of pneumatic systems for better energy conservation. Nevertheless, focusing on innovations with adjustable speed air motors and those with better efficiency curves presents an opportunistic view for market growth. Moreover, industries increasingly prioritize intrinsic safety due to stringent regulatory standards and environmental considerations that are expected to bolster the adoption of air motors.
