Pro-source HX8AM-V-8 Air Actuated Motor 5-1/4 Hp

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE HX8AM-V-8 is a vane-type air actuated motor rated at 5-1/4 horsepower with a maximum speed of 2500 RPM and a minimum speed of 300 RPM. It runs on compressed air at up to 100 psi and delivers 11 foot-pounds of torque. The shaft is 3/4 inch in diameter with a 1.34-inch length and a keyed configuration. Shaft rotation is reversible, making it adaptable to a wide range of pneumatic drive applications. This motor is installed by industrial maintenance technicians and mechanical contractors working in facilities that rely on compressed-air-powered equipment.

The HX8AM-V-8 suits applications where electric motors are impractical or unsafe, such as environments with flammable vapors, wet conditions, or variable-speed drive requirements. Its face mount style and 1/2-inch NPT thread inlet allow integration into existing pneumatic systems. With an 8-vane rotor design and a maximum air flow of 175 SCFM, it is suited for industrial machinery, conveyor drives, hoists, and similar rotary-drive tasks requiring consistent torque output across a wide speed range.

Key Features

• 5-1/4 HP output with a reversible shaft for bidirectional operation
• Speed range of 300 to 2500 RPM for flexible application matching
• 100 psi maximum working pressure with 1/2-inch NPT inlet
• Keyed 3/4-inch diameter shaft for positive, slip-free drive coupling
• 8-vane rotor design for smooth torque delivery
• Face mount style for direct integration with machinery frames and gearboxes

Compatibility

Designed as a pneumatic vane motor for industrial compressed-air systems requiring a face-mount, reversible-shaft configuration with a 1/2-inch NPT air inlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified industrial mechanic or pneumatic systems technician. Depressurize and lock out the air supply line before connecting or disconnecting the motor. Ensure the supply air is clean, dry, and lubricated per the system requirements to protect vane integrity and extend service life. Verify that supply line pressure does not exceed 100 psi and that the inlet fitting is compatible with the 1/2-inch NPT port before commissioning.
