An air motor is a type of motor that operates using compressed air instead of electricity or fuel. It converts the energy from compressed air into mechanical energy, allowing it to perform work. Air motors are commonly used in various applications, including tools, machinery, and vehicles, due to their reliability and ability to function in hazardous environments. These motors are often preferred in industries where electrical sparks could pose a risk, such as in the presence of flammable materials. They are also lightweight and can provide high torque at low speeds, making them suitable for tasks requiring precision and control.
