BRITISH MANUFACTURER OF ATEX AIR MOTORS

Armak Ltd was founded in 2007 as a joint venture by Krisch-Dienst GmbH and The Water Hydraulics Co. Ltd. Armak Ltd designs, manufactures, assembles and tests Air, Gas and Steam Motors at it’s manufacturing facility in Hull, East Yorkshire, UK.

 

Armak Ltd currently manufactures Air Motors from 2kW to 16kW, Gas & patented Steam Motors from 2kW to 30kw. The complete range of motors can be supplied with patented valves and control systems, enabling accurate control and operation in all environments. The Air Motors can be supplied in accordance with ATEX Directive 94/4/EC, for use in potentially explosive environments for example in the offshore or mining industry.

 

Armak Ltd engineers have over 30 years experience in supplying complete drive solutions from a single source. All products are supplied globally in accordance with customers exacting requirements and worldwide legislation.

ABOUT US

Armak Ltd has been continually developing a contact free rotary piston design of geared piston motor. The motors simple and compact design gives a longer lifespan with low operating and maintenance costs. The Armak motor range covers an extensive range of applications, they can also directly replace the RM radial piston motor offering greater power output.

 

The torque is developed by one power piston which is transferred to the output shaft by a second contact free rotating piston via a precision synchronized gear train. Both pistons rotate without physical contact resulting in near frictionless operation producing torque efficiencies in excess of 98%.The result being long maintenance free operation without downtime. The totally closed motor housing without breather holes permits applications in wet or dirty surroundings without corrosion inside

the motor.

 

Armak building block design allows simple configurations to suit the individual application criteria. Control valves including Remote, Lever and Emergency stop are all bolt on options, Industry standard Brakes, Gears and Silencers are also available.

Applications and Advantages

 

 ARMAK Geared Piston Motors can be used on numerous applications:

 

• Pneumatic Engineering, as drives for winches and man riders, conveyor systems, mixing applications, ship building, mining,

off-shore applications, general engineering or wherever high safety (explosion hazards, ATEX) is required.  With simple control and ease of installation the Armak Geared Piston Motor is an excellent choice.

 

• In Renewable Energy, converting available heat sources into electric power. Applications include biogas plants, combined heat and power plants, sun mirrors or sun collector systems.

 

ARMAK Geared Piston Motors were initially designed as air motors; they can be supplied from 2kW up to 16 kW.

 

The basic design principle was kept, the motors can also be supplied as gas pressure motors to run on any non-corrosive gaseous media up to 15 bar and 135 °C.

  • Show More/Less

    All versions have the following technical details and advantages:

     

    • Non vibrating even at high speeds

     

    • Frictionless torque produced, resulting in long and maintenance free lifetime

     

    • Completely enclosed motor casing – as air motor there will be no internal corrosion or internal oil sump

     

    • Compact design and freedom of installation

     

    • Large usable speed range and high       start torque

     

    • Metric flange and shaft for mounting of   gear boxes

     

    Air motors have perfect control when combined with the ARMAK lever or remote control valves
