Air Motor Installation and Operating Instructions
Operating Recommendations
1. Huco Air Motors are designed and built to be safe and reliable
when properly used. Advice and approval should be sought from
authorized Huco Dynatork personnel before any of our products
are used in circumstances other than recommended herein.
2. Compressed air is the only medium to be used.
3. Air pressure should not exceed 6.9 bar (100 lb/in2)
4. Motors requiring lubrication must have a lubricator fitted to the air
supply. Recommended lubricants are shown opposite.
5. Each motor should be supplied with air that is adequately filtered
to remove fluids and particles above 40 microns.
6. An operating temperature range of -10˚C to +80˚C (14˚F to 176˚F)
is recommended.
7 . Motors should be sited and mounted to avoid
excessive vibration.
8. Safety or system integrity should not depend upon the
assumption that leakages cannot or will not occur.
9. Actual response times for air motors can vary according to
ambient conditions and service life.
10. Adequate regular maintenance is essential to ensure continuous
satisfactory and safe performance.
Installation
1. Huco Air Motors are precision machines and are susceptible
to damage by dirt particles. Cleanliness is essential during
installation and service.
2. To prevent ingress of dirt or grit do not remove the red protective
caps (Item 8) from the ports until installed.
3. When the motor has been mounted and the shaft connected, air
supply tubes should be fitted to the ports ensuring that no dirt or
grit can enter the ports.

Indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, could result
in minor or moderate personal injury.
Indicates information considered important, but not hazard-
related (e.g. messages relating to property damage).
• Perform periodic inspections. Equipment may fail prematurely and
could become unsafe if not properly inspected and maintained. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in mild or moderate personal
injury.
Commissioning
1. Set air pressure to zero.
2. Set any speed restrictor valves to the fully open position
3. Slowly increase air pressure until the shaft rotates under load.
4. For low load applications, increase air pressure by a further 1 –
1.25 bar (15 – 20 lb/in2). This may not be necessary for high-load
applications.
5. Adjust the speed restrictor to give the required speed.
6. The air motor will now be running at the optimum and most
efficient setting.
NOTICE: It is bad practice to apply excessive line air pressure and
then have a tight restriction on the exhaust port. This can cause
excessive wear on the base of the pistons.
