Rotalink supports OEMs that require compact, robust pneumatic motor solutions as part of wider motion assemblies. Leveraging our modular approach, we integrate compressed-air motors with our gearboxes, housings, feedback devices and custom mechanical packages — creating fully engineered motion systems built for reliability, safety and long service life.
Pneumatic motors are ideal where electric actuation isn’t suitable: hazardous environments, washdown areas, or installations requiring spark-free, high-durability operation. Through our engineering and assembly capability, we deliver motion solutions that fit directly into your product architecture.
Compressed air systems bring unique engineering challenges — from operating safely in hazardous or ATEX-classified environments to fitting compact mechanisms inside handheld or portable tools.
Manufacturers must also maintain consistent torque and speed despite fluctuating air supply, ensure long-life, low-maintenance operation, and integrate multiple mechanical components into a single, ready-to-assemble package. Rotalink’s modular platform addresses these demands directly, enabling tailored, production-ready pneumatic assemblies that meet both performance and packaging requirements.
Pneumatic motors are used across a wide range of applications, particularly where electric actuation is unsuitable. In industrial automation they power actuators in washdown areas, hazardous-zone tools and compact rotary drives for fixtures and indexing systems. Food and beverage equipment relies on pneumatic motion for hygienic, wet-area actuation, conveyor accessories and dosing functions. In packaging machinery, they drive high-speed rotary tools, cutters, crimpers and torque-controlled adjustments.
Handheld tools benefit from lightweight, low-heat pneumatic drives for mixers, grinders and drivers, while medical and laboratory systems use non-electrical rotary motion for mixing, sampling and safe equipment actuation. Pneumatic motors are also essential in ATEX and hazardous environments, providing non-sparking actuation for valves, pump drives and handling equipment in gas, chemical and solvent areas.
Rotalink produce products for a wide range of different applications. Our miniature gearmotors are used in everything from vending machines and ATMs to medical equipment and fluid control systems.
