Description

Ingersoll Rand T480 air engine barring motor is a premium, heavy-duty engine barring mechanism designed for heavy industry, marine, and power generation sectors. It allows the operator to rotate and position massive industrial engines with ultimate precision and safety. The system is specifically engineered to handle diesel engines with displacements up to 500 liters and gas engines up to 1000 liters, ensuring a smooth and controlled rotation of the flywheel during maintenance.

This engine barring motor significantly increases workplace safety and allows the entire process to be controlled by a single person. This accelerates valve adjustments, diagnostic checks, and other routine service tasks. The T480 model features an integrated disc brake that is always engaged whenever the motor is stopped, ensuring even more secure engine positioning and preventing any unwanted flywheel rollback. Versions equipped with an ergonomic remote control (Pendant control) enable the operator to position the engine from a safe distance, avoiding direct contact with moving components.

Key Features

• Exceptional Torque: At an operating pressure of 90 psi (6 bar), it delivers a powerful torque of over 438 Nm, guaranteeing smooth and steady rotation of even the heaviest flywheels.
• Integrated Disc Brake: The automatic braking system engages instantly when the barring motor is stopped, holding the flywheel firmly in place and making precise engine tuning easier.
• Safe Remote Operation: The ergonomic and responsive pendant control allows the operator to start, stop, and change the rotation direction directly from the workspace.
• Full Reversibility: The bi-directional vane air motor ensures highly accurate forward and backward positioning under full power.
• Robust and Heavy-Duty Construction: The rugged, wear-resistant design ensures maximum service life and trouble-free operation even in the harshest industrial, marine, and offshore environments.
• Explosion-Proof (ATEX Certified): 100% air-driven operation completely eliminates electrical components and the risk of sparks, which is critical in oil, gas, and chemical industries.
