• Very compact
• Reduction ration = Z1 / Z2 + 1
• Z1 = nb of teeth of the ring gear

Extreme temperatures
• Modec air motors can be used from -30°C to +150°C. However,
one needs to pay attention to air dryness when temp is very low.
Specific atmospheres
• Our motors work in humid, corrosive, explosive, radioactive,
dusty … atmospheres
• All Modec air motors can be ATEX II 2 G/D c IIC T6/T4 certified
Clean environment
• No rejection : Exhaust collectors and filters
• Lubrication free motors
Liquid environment
• Our motors can be made waterproof on request
