Air Turbine Motors® Highlights 450HD Pneumatic Motors Series for 24/7 High-Speed Cutting
Operating at 40,000 RPM, these Robust Motor Mounts Accelerate Productivity in Demanding Automated and Robotic Milling, Deburring, Drilling and Finishing Applications
Air Turbine Technology Inc., the leading manufacturer of high-speed turbine products, highlights the advanced 450HD and 450XHD pneumatic motors designed to deliver unmatched precision and durability at 25,000, 30,000 and 40,000 RPM in demanding automated and robotic milling, deburring, drilling and finishing applications.
The 450HD and 450XHD only require a connection to 90 PSI (6.2 Bar) air, meaning there is no complicated setup, wiring or lubrication. Just drop the steel barrel of the 450HD into a fixture or toolholder on a robot, lathe or in an automated process. All Air Turbine Motors® feature a unique patented governor, which increases air flow to the turbine power producer to maintain rated high speed under cutting load. With this governor, high speeds can be achieved without sacrificing power.
With constant high-speed and torque sustained under load up to 40,000 RPM, and up to 1.4 HP in the double turbine 450XHD, the 450HD Series delivers 6 - 10X faster cycle times with no duty cycle limitations, supporting fully continuous 24/7 operation.
The constant high peripheral speed of the 450HD Series also ensures enhanced cutting tool performance, cleaner finishes and significantly longer tool life, making these motors ideal for milling, polishing, drilling plastics, routing, deburring and marking applications with tools up to ¼" (6 mm) capacity.
Unlike other motors, Air Turbine Motors® operate with only two moving parts, turbine and bearing sets. These generate low friction, negligible vibration and no heat. In addition, the heavy-duty grease packed bearings are cooled by turbine air. The result is precision and above all great durability with less repairs.
The 450HD Series weighs only 46 oz (1.3 kg) and has a vibration level under 1.25 m/s² r.m.s. Both models are sealed at the front end for wet or dusty environments and come with an ER11 collet system (1/4" or 6 mm capacity standard), collet wrenches, rear exhaust and a 3/8" NPT air supply fitting. Air Turbine Motors® run quietly, producing less than 78 dBA during operation, contributing to a better working environment and compliance with occupational noise standards.
The single turbine 0.8HP 450HD requires a minimum 3/8" (8 mm) internal diameter on air hoses and fittings and a connection to 90 PSI (6.2Bar) air with 14 to 35 CFM volume available on demand during operation. The double turbine 1.4HP 450XHD requires a minimum air hose internal diameter of 10 mm to accommodate higher air consumption between 19 and 40 CFM according to the load and weighs 48 oz (1.36 kg).
This unique motor mount developed by Air Turbine Technology Inc. is specifically engineered to increase productivity and surface quality in any process. Whether milling, deburring or finishing metals, milling ceramics, composites or woods, or drilling or trimming plastics, the 450HD series performs reliably with constant high-speed and torque even under variable load.
About Air Turbine Technology Inc.:
Air Turbine Technology Inc. since 1988 has invented, patented and proven a range of revolutionary high-speed spindles, live tools, motor mounts and hand tools.
Air Turbine Tools, Motors, and Spindles® are high-speed pneumatic tools used by manufacturers for cutting, grinding, engraving, drilling, or finishing materials in industrial processes, delivering superior performance in applications that demand high-speed, precision and reliability at 25,000 to 90,000 RPM with power to 1.4HP.
This new generation of products increases airflow volume to the turbine to match cutting load, ensuring consistent high speed without sacrificing power. Air Turbine Spindles and Motors® operate reliably without generating heat to affect precision at 2 micron and have no duty cycle limitations. For more information visit: www.airturbinetools.com.
Featured Product

Line Vac™ Family
A fast, low cost way to convey plastic pellets, scrap trim, textiles, bulk solids, food products, chips, paper, pills/tablets, small parts, shavings, sawdust and granules.
EXAIR's compressed air operated Line Vac connects to standard hose or tube to create a powerful in-line conveyor. The compact design features large throat diameters for maximum throughput capability. Eleven sizes in aluminum and ten in stainless steel are suited to a wide variety of transfer applications.
Line Vac conveyors are ideal for moving large volumes of material over long distances. A small amount of compressed air is injected through directed nozzles to produce a vacuum on one end and high output flows on the other, with instantaneous response. The material flow rate is easily controlled with a pressure regulator. No moving parts or electricity assures maintenance free operation. https://exair.co/184_564
