How the air motor is controlled

1. The air to be supplied to the motor must be filtered and depressurized. Directional control valves need to supply air to the motor and rotate the motor when needed. Such valves can be pneumatically controlled, electronically controlled, or mechanically controlled.

2. When the motor is used in applications that do not use bidirectional rotation, it is sufficient to use a 2/2 or 3/2 valve to control it. For motors that can rotate in reverse, a 5/3 or two 3/2 valves are needed to ensure that the motor has a compressed air supply and residual air exhaust.

3. If the motor is not used for directional rotation, the flow regulating valve can be installed in the air supply line to adjust the speed of the motor. If the motor is used for reverse rotation, a flow control valve with an internal one-way function needs to adjust the rotation in each direction. The valve with internal one-way function allows air to be discharged from the residual air vent of the motor to the exhaust port of the control valve and then discharged.
