Technical Details for the RM012 Series


Globe's RM012 compact piston air motors distinguish themselves with several unique features not commonly found in other air motors. One standout characteristic is the combination of low speed and high torque, all achieved without the need for a gearbox. These motors find application in scenarios where traditional air motors are not typically employed. The RM012 has a number of different material options, including Inox & Plastic.

The motors offer several advantages, including simple and inexpensive variable speed and torque control, indefinite stalling under load, and instant reversibility with a control valve. Additionally, they are resistant to harsh conditions, cool-running due to expanding air, compact and lightweight compared to electric motors, and operate without shock start-up.

Applications for Globe's compact piston air motors include mixing equipment, winding equipment, conveyor belts, hose reels, turntables, packing machines, and cap screwing machines. The oil-free and silicone-free motors are suitable for mixing applications, and special versions are available for the food and chemical industry.
