for Hazardous Areas

The -50C configuration fits the 4AM motor with a NEMA 56C C-face flange, the standard North-American interface for small gear reducers, pump heads and bell housings. Performance is the full 4AM frame rating: 1.27 kW at 3,000 rpm, 6.33 Nm maximum torque and about 36.8 L/s of air at 7 bar.

As a reversible (RV) model the motor has two 1/4" NPT ports and is controlled with a 4-way valve; speed is set by supply pressure. The motor can be stalled or overloaded indefinitely, runs cool, and is CE / ATEX II 2 GD c T4 marked for Zone 1 and 2.
