Parker Hannifin P1V-S series stainless steel air motors

The P1V-S series is a range of air motors with all external components made of stainless steel, which means that they can be used in food-grade applications and in all other applications where there is a risk of corrosion.

The range contains seven different sizes, with powers ranging from 20 to 1200 W and speeds from 5 to 24,000 rpm. The air motor and planetary reduction gear are built into a polished stainless steel housing, which is sealed by a fluor rubber O-ring. The output shaft, which is made of polished stainless steel, is also sealed by a fluor rubber seal.

Consideration for achieving a clean, hygienic design was given early on in the development of this range of air motors. Thanks to the cylindrical shape, there are no pockets which can accumulate dirt or bacteria. Additionally, the two halves of the motor body are sealed with an O-ring to prevent contamination. The choice of materials reflects the fact that aggressive cleaning materials are used in food-grade applications. The P1V-S series is designed to be operated in intermittent intervals under non-lubrication conditions. For this reason, no particles of lubricant escape with the exhaust air and the service costs are reduced. This means that the motors can be used directly in food-grade applications. The planetary gear, which has one or more reduction stages, is lubricated with an USDA-H1 standard grease, approved for use in food-grade applications.
