Compressed Air
(Pneumatic) Motors

Custom pneumatic motion systems for industrial, hygienic and ATEX environments.
for Demanding Environments

Compact, Configurable
Pneumatic Motors

Rotalink supports OEMs that require compact, robust pneumatic motor solutions as part of wider motion assemblies. Leveraging our modular approach, we integrate compressed-air motors with our gearboxes, housings, feedback devices and custom mechanical packages — creating fully engineered motion systems built for reliability, safety and long service life.

Pneumatic motors are ideal where electric actuation isn’t suitable: hazardous environments, washdown areas, or installations requiring spark-free, high-durability operation. Through our engineering and assembly capability, we deliver motion solutions that fit directly into your product architecture.

Providing Durable
 Low-Maintenance Operation

Compressed air systems bring unique engineering challenges — from operating safely in hazardous or ATEX-classified environments to fitting compact mechanisms inside handheld or portable tools.

Manufacturers must also maintain consistent torque and speed despite fluctuating air supply, ensure long-life, low-maintenance operation, and integrate multiple mechanical components into a single, ready-to-assemble package. Rotalink’s modular platform addresses these demands directly, enabling tailored, production-ready pneumatic assemblies that meet both performance and packaging requirements.

  • Safe, spark-free actuation for ATEX and hazardous zones
  • Compact assemblies designed for tight installation spaces

Typical Applications

Reliable Motion for Pneumatic Applications

Pneumatic motors are used across a wide range of applications, particularly where electric actuation is unsuitable. In industrial automation they power actuators in washdown areas, hazardous-zone tools and compact rotary drives for fixtures and indexing systems. Food and beverage equipment relies on pneumatic motion for hygienic, wet-area actuation, conveyor accessories and dosing functions. In packaging machinery, they drive high-speed rotary tools, cutters, crimpers and torque-controlled adjustments.

Handheld tools benefit from lightweight, low-heat pneumatic drives for mixers, grinders and drivers, while medical and laboratory systems use non-electrical rotary motion for mixing, sampling and safe equipment actuation. Pneumatic motors are also essential in ATEX and hazardous environments, providing non-sparking actuation for valves, pump drives and handling equipment in gas, chemical and solvent areas.
