AIR MOTORS

|
HT-050
175 RPM, 22 lb-ft
torque
The HT-050 motor is primarily used for open-stone and large
aggregate systems. |
Ingersoll-Rand
and Atlas Copco multi-vane air motors have been selected
because of their dependability, low maintenance and excellent
design. The motors are compact, lightweight with a high
power output. Other features include cool running characteristics
that minimize the effects of hot, wet or dusty conditions.
Instant starting and stoping eliminate the delays of motor
acceleration or deceleration periods, preventing electrical
sparks and producing safe operation in hazardous conditions.
It will not overheat or burn out even when overloaded or
run to stall. No hydrocarbon release makes the HoverTrowel
ideal for food, beverage and other sensitive industrial
areas.
HoverTrowel's
standard motor for common epoxy systems is the HT-167. Other
motors are available for some flooring systems with unique
physical properties and characteristics. The motors produce
a range of rpm and torque loads to suit the needs of most
of the polymer toppings on the market today. Distinct mortar
systems will continue to be evaluated to determine the best
suited motor.

|
HT-167
53 RPM, 78 lb-ft torque
The HT-167 is used
for most standard hand and power trowel systems. |

|
HT-188
52 RPM, 128 lb-ft torque
The HT-188 is used for very resin rich systems, as well as
the cementatious toppings on the market. This motor will perform
well on all systems, making it extremely versatile. |
 |
HT-AC
65
RPM, 185 lb-ft torque
The HT-AC is used
for very resin rich systems, as well as the cementatious toppings
on the market. This motor will perform well on all systems,
making it extremely versatile. |

As air pressure changes, the performance characteristics will change by the percentages given above. Example: Knowing the performance characteristics of a Model M004RHR050AR3 reversible ungoverned Air Motor at 90 psig (620 kPa) it is a simple matter to determine its characteristics at another air pressure. Using the percentages from the table for 60 psig (414 kPa), the performance becomes:

Air Supply or Exhaust Regulation
Reducing or restricting the amount of air supplied to the motor has a similar effect to reducing the air pressure. Choking or restricting the exhaust has a somewhat different effect, with the speed decreasing much more than the torque. The effects of changes in pressure, air supply and exhaust regulation are summarized below. Exact variations in performance with "choked" motors are not tabulated; however, "on the job" tests will usually produce the desired results; sometimes from a combination of pressure adjustments and inlet and exhaust restrictions.
