Design AND manufacture : made-to measure air motors for high performance machines

Fine-tuning the air motor to your needs

Industrial machines and equipment that are powered by compressed air motors can be quite complex entities used for very specific applications. As a result, they often require a very exact motor function which the mass-market air motors cannot always provide.

Of course it’s possible to compromise and work with a standard pneumatic motor that sort of gets the job done, but why make do when it’s possible to fine-tune a motor that meets your specific needs?

Professional technical expertise

An air motor designer and manufacturer like Modec can offer this made-to-measure service. When you have a team of qualified mechanical engineers and a dedicated in-house design office, it is possible to exchange directly with a client’s engineers to fully understand the end application and how the air motor needs to perform. This understanding is key to selecting, developing or adapting a motor that will facilitate the best possible performance.

For distributor partners, working with a company that has this level of technical expertise can be reassuring. Most distributors operate in the bigger markets and so, for the most part, have no need for in-house technical specialists. However, if a client on occasion requires a motor that can respond to a more complex need, the distributor knows it has access to qualified engineers capable of coming up with a solution.

Rapid response

As a manufacturer, Modec has a further advantage – the company has its own production assembly line which means that not only can the team come up with a solution, it can do so quickly. In general, orders are turned around within three days.

Operating at the niche high end of the air motor market, the company stocks a wide range of components and therefore nearly always has the necessary parts to hand to build or adapt a motor that provides the desired functionality. Should they need to order a special component, the majority of parts are produced nearby, in the Rhône Valley, so even this will be dispatched within one or two days.

Improved performance all round

For the end client – whether the order is direct to the manufacturer or via a distributor – this level of reactivity can be critical when it comes to reducing production downtime and the knock-on effect to the core business.

For the distributor partner, this type of fast, professional response from a high-end air motor manufacturer ensures they can, in turn, provide an excellent service to their clients without the cost and financial risk of keeping specialist, slow-moving components in stock.
