The compact P1V-M is suitable for use in harsh environments, under extremes of vibration and operating at temperatures between -20 and +110ºC. Similarly, as there are no electrical connections, the air motor can be used in hazardous environments hence the ATEX (II 2 GD C IIC T4) certification.

The P1V-M is capable of providing output shaft free speeds from 32 to a maximum of 10,500rpm, with torque up to 120Nm. The P1V-M can be used as a replacement for traditional electric motors and, thanks to its ability to be loaded until it stalls, the P1V-M can be stopped and started continuously without damage. The direction of rotation is reversible simply by changing the direction of airflow.
