Speed ​​control
Adjustment of the intake valve and exhaust valve: The speed of the PNEUMATIC MOTOR SERIES is mainly achieved by controlling the opening of the intake valve and the exhaust valve. By adjusting the opening of the intake valve, the flow of compressed air entering the pneumatic motor can be controlled. The flow of compressed air directly affects the speed of the pneumatic motor. When the speed of the pneumatic motor needs to be increased, the opening of the intake valve can be increased to allow more compressed air to enter the PNEUMATIC MOTOR, thereby driving the blades or pistons and other components to rotate at a higher speed. Conversely, if the opening of the intake valve is reduced, the flow of compressed air entering the motor will decrease, and the speed will also decrease accordingly. When adjusting the intake valve, it is necessary to ensure that the pressure of the compressed air is stable and the intake pipe is unobstructed to ensure that the compressed air can enter the motor smoothly. The opening of the exhaust valve will also affect the speed of the pneumatic motor. By adjusting the opening of the exhaust valve, the exhaust speed of the gas inside the motor can be controlled, thereby affecting the speed of the motor. When the speed of the pneumatic motor needs to be reduced, the opening of the exhaust valve can be appropriately increased to allow the gas inside the motor to be discharged faster, thereby slowing down the speed of the motor. Conversely, reducing the opening of the exhaust valve can extend the residence time of the gas and increase the speed of the motor. When adjusting the exhaust valve, be careful not to open or close the exhaust valve excessively to avoid damaging the motor or affecting its normal operation.
Application of control valve: Most PNEUMATIC MOTOR SERIES can change the direction of intake and exhaust through the control valve to achieve forward and reverse rotation of the output shaft. In situations where the speed direction needs to be changed frequently, the instantaneous reversing of the control valve can be used to achieve fast and accurate speed control. In addition, some advanced pneumatic motors are also equipped with an automatic reversing system that can automatically adjust the speed direction according to work requirements.
Feedback control system: For situations where high speed control accuracy is required, a feedback control system can be used. The system monitors the speed of the pneumatic motor in real time, compares the actual speed with the set value, and automatically adjusts the opening of the intake valve according to the comparison result to achieve accurate speed control.

Output power control
Intake pressure regulation: The output power of the PNEUMATIC MOTOR SERIES is closely related to the intake pressure. By adjusting the air source pressure, the output power of the pneumatic motor can be roughly controlled. When the output power needs to be increased, the air source pressure can be increased; conversely, reducing the air source pressure can reduce the output power.
Flow control valve: The flow control valve is another commonly used output power control method. By adjusting the opening of the flow control valve, the flow of compressed air entering the pneumatic motor can be controlled, thereby affecting its output power. When the output power needs to be increased, the opening of the flow control valve can be increased; conversely, reducing the opening can reduce the output power.
Power controller: For occasions where more precise control of the output power is required, a power controller can be used. The power controller is an electrical device used to control the output power of an electrical appliance. By setting the upper and lower limits of the output power, the power controller can automatically control the output power of the pneumatic motor to keep it within a certain range. In addition, the power controller can also automatically adjust the output power according to the work requirements to meet different work requirements.
