Air Motor
Description
The air motors in the 323440 series power a
variety or fluid and material pumps. The pump tubes
that connect to these motors can be either divorced or
of a non-divorced design.

Divorced and Non-Divorced

Overview
Pumps that disassemble into separate air motor
and pump tube entities are considered divorced.
These assemblies connect via a coupling arrangement
that is open to atmosphere. The material outlet on
divorced pumps is on the pump tube.
Non-divorced pumps contain a body (shown in
phantom in Figure 2) that fits directly into the base of
the motor. This body allows material distribution
(with the use of an adapter) through an access hole in
the air motor. See Figure 1.
Separation of this design requires the pump tube
to be unthreaded from the motor’s rod.

Accessories Overhaul
Accessory items applicable to the these motors are IMPORTANT: Prior to performing any
illustrated in Figure 3. maintenance procedure, the following safety
precautions must be observed. Personal
injury may occur.

WARNING
Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon sol-
vents such as methylene chloride or 1,1,1-trichlor-
ethane in this motor. An explosion can result
within an enclosed device capable of containing
pressure when aluminum and/or zinc-plated parts
come in contact with halogenated hydrocarbon
solvents.
Release all pressure within the system prior to
performing any overhaul procedure.
• Disconnect the air supply line from the motor.
• Into an appropriate container, operate the
pump’s control valve to discharge remaining
pressure within the system.
Never point a control valve at any portion of your
body or another person. Accidental discharge of
pressure and/or material can result in injury.
Read each step of the instructions carefully. Make
sure a proper understanding is achieved before
proceeding.

NOTE: Refer to Figure 2 for component

identification on all overhaul procedures.
