GLOBE RM410 PISTON AIR MOTOR MANUAL| INCLUDING AUXILIARIES | ATEX Certified
Mounting positions
The motor is normally mounted in a horizontal position with the filler / breather plug towards the top
(Fig. 1) It may also be mounted with the shaft vertically downwards (Fig. 2). As supplied the motors
have been run up and tested using protective oil and then drained for transit. It is vital that each
motor is re-filled to the correct oil level as shown below. The RM110 - 310 motors have a dipstick
for vertical mounting (Fig. 2) and the lower mark on this dipstick provides the oil level. Oil levels are
achieved on motors in the horizontal position by filling to the plugs marked 60 (RM110-410 models)
and plug 26 (fitted in housing 3 RM510-610 models). (numbers indicate parts on exploded view)
The vertical oil level position for the RM410, RM510 and RM610 motors is a combined horizontal
drain and vertical level plug (part number 26) To fill motors with oil remove the combined breather
and oil filler plug part number 46. Ensure breatherplug is in the vertical position. It may be neces-
sary to fit an elbow between the breather plug and the motor (see Fig. 2).
Fitting
Mount motor in operating position. Check oil level, (as seen on Fig. 1). Before connecting to the
air supply blow out the air lines to remove any loose scale, swarf or abrasive dust which may be
present. Remove the red plastic dust-caps and the ‘O’ ring seal (45). For unidirectional operation
check the required direction of rotation and connect the air supply line to the appropriate port on the
inlet / exhaust adaptor plate (72) leaving the other port open or pipe downwards if exposed to the
atmosphere. The motor should not be allowed to race. Always operate within the catalogue speed
curves.
Installation
It’s important that no dust or debris can accumulate at the output shaft. This may
damage the shaft seal. The GLOBE Piston Motor is only allowed in horizontal
position or shaft pointing vertical downwards. It is not allowed for the shaft to point
in any angle upwards.
