air motor

Pneumatic power source

An air motor is a motor powered by compressed air rather than electricity or combustion.

Air motors are valued in environments where electric sparks would be hazardous or where lightweight, high-torque operation is needed: pneumatic drills, dental equipment, aircraft engine starters.

Also called a pneumatic motor.
