5M Compact Vane Motor
The 5M compact vane motor is a high-performance pneumatic vane air motor designed for industrial applications where compressed air is preferred over electricity. The 5M delivers reliable, safe, and durable power for wet, corrosive, or explosive environments and is part of the GLOBE-Archimedes Compact Vane Motor range.

GLOBE Airmotors manufactures the 5M with a focus on safety, low maintenance, and longevity. Standard case and end plate are AISI 303 stainless steel, with a fully stainless-steel build available for aggressive environments and the foodstuffs industry — same performance and dimensions as the standard version. A
TEX certificate available for explosive atmospheres (II cat. 2 G&D T3), making the 5M a trusted choice across industries.

Key features and product attributes of the 5M include:

• Product group: GLOBE-Archimedes Compact Vane Motor
• Power source: compressed air (pneumatic vane air motor)
• ATEX: Certificate available for hazardous environments (II cat. 2 G&D T3)
• Case and end plate: AISI 303 stainless steel
• Optional stainless steel shaft (AISI 303)
• Reversible and uni-directional motors available
• Non-reversible motors: standard CCW rotation (counterclockwise, facing the shaft); CW rotation available.
• Optional protruding bearing for safe alignment when mounting to other equipment or an interfacing flange.
• Optional internal brake device (single-stage, two-stage, and three-stage models) to prevent the exit shaft from rotating when the motor is static

• Mounting forms: flange, front-face thread, housing thread
• Max power: 0.67 kW (0.90 HP)

Applications and benefits
The 5M excels in industrial settings that demand robust, explosion-safe motors: food processing (wet or corrosive conditions), chemical plants, painting booths, and hand-held or space-constrained machinery.

Benefits include:

• Safe operation in explosive, wet, or corrosive environments
• Durable build for heavy-duty cycles
• Stalls under load without overheating or burning out
• Low maintenance reduces downtime and life-cycle costs
• Instantly reversible with a simple control valve, and controllable across a wide speed range
• Compact and lightweight
