Pneumatic motors are devices that convert compressed air into mechanical energy. They operate by using the pressure of the air to create motion, typically rotating a shaft. These motors are commonly used in various applications, including industrial machinery, power tools, and automated systems due to their simplicity and reliability. One of the key advantages of pneumatic motors is their ability to work in hazardous environments where electric motors might pose a risk. They are also lightweight and can provide high torque at low speeds, making them suitable for tasks that require precise control.
