GAST Air Motor 2AM-NCW-7A

The 2AM-NCW-7A is the clockwise-only counterpart of the 2AM-NCC-16: a 0.71 kW (0.95 HP), 3,000 rpm hub-mounted GAST air motor with a 12.7 mm flat shaft and 1/4" NPT port.

for Hazardous Areas

GAST builds the 2AM hub-mount motor in both fixed directions so that a drive can be laid out without a reversing valve. The NCW-7A rotates clockwise viewed from the output shaft; the NCC-16 is its counter-clockwise twin. Both use a four-vane rotor, a single 1/4" NPT supply port and a muffled exhaust.

The motor delivers 0.71 kW at 3,000 rpm with 3.16 Nm peak torque and consumes about 14 L/s at full load and 7 bar. It is oil-lubricated (an in-line lubricator at 1 drop per 50–75 cfm is recommended), operates in any orientation and carries CE and ATEX marking for Zone 1 and 2.
