IR’s ARO air motors: Harnessing nature’s power to drive innovation, efficiency

ARO air motors by Ingersoll Rand

Dobco Equipment Ltd. is Canada’s source for industrial solutions by Ingersoll Rand (IR), which has been producing innovative tools and equipment for more than 150 years. The portfolio includes more than 200 models of ARO air motors, which are distinguished by their ability to create power from the natural environment.

Another major benefit of using these air motors by IR is the way they serve customers as a flexible alternative to electric power sources.

No sparks or heat buildup

Efficient solutions, ARO air motors offer key advantages over their electrical counterparts: these models come with a wide variety of options. The diverse range of motors and their variations enable use in many different types of applications. The many benefits of these air motors include their infinitely variable speeds and torques, plus their instant starting, stopping, and reversing. In addition, ARO air motors never overheat or burn out because users can stall over overload them for longs periods of time without any damage.

Other major advantages of these air motors include their cool running characteristics and excellent design flexibility, and they can be used safely in hazardous environments due to the absence of sparks and heat buildup. ARO air motors are relatively simple to maintain as long as the air supply stays clean, dry, and lubricated. Since many of these motors are stackable, additional gear reductions are also possible.

This lineup of ARO air motors ranges from 0.1 to 30 in horsepower, 23 to 26,000 revolutions per minute in speed, and 0.1 to 1,090 pound-feet. Other options, such as reversible and non-reversible models, geared or non-geared versions, and vane or piston configurations, are all available from the Dobco team.

As a preferred distributor of high-quality IR industrial products, Dobco provides a wide-ranging inventory that includes not just the ARO brand of solutions, but also many Zimmerman balancers and lifting devices. Customers depend on the IR-Dobco partnership for assembly tools, torque reaction arms, construction tools, finishing tools, assembly tools, workstation accessories, hoists and trolleys, air winches, diaphragm and piston pumps, pneumatic cylinders and valves, and air-system components.
