Atlas Copco LZL15-L-P-AC | LZL15 Direct-Drive Vane Motor — Power (High-Speed), AC Interface

Trusted by engineers worldwide for its robust construction, the Atlas Copco LZL15-L-P-AC is a LZL15 six-vane direct-drive motor delivering up to 3.2 kW (4.29 hp) with exceptional low-speed starting torque and smooth speed control. AC-interface mount. Fully reversible.

Performance at a Glance

Configured as a direct-drive high-speed power motor, this variant pairs with the AC interface for drop-in integration. Six vanes and optimized vane-cylinder sealing via interconnecting pins deliver reliable starting torque even under full load at low RPM — where five-vane motors often struggle.

Technical Specifications

Key Features

• Max Output Power: 3.2 kW (4.29 hp) at 6.3 bar (91 psi) — rated for continuous-duty operation in fixed-plant and automation environments
• Rotation: Fully Reversible—switchable by reversing air connections, no disassembly required
• Lubrication-Free Vane Design: Lubrication-free vane material eliminates in-line air oilers and prevents lubricant contamination of your process or product — ideal for food, pharma, and clean manufacturing environments.
• ATEX Zone 1/21 Certified — Approved for hazardous gas and dust atmospheres up to +40°C (104°F) in fixture-mounted use (EU Directive 2014/34/EU). Safe for use in classified areas where electric motors are prohibited.
• Output Shaft — Atlas Copco Interface: Direct integration into existing drive trains, couplings, sprockets, and IEC/NEMA machine interfaces
• Overload Safe: Stalls harmlessly under overload; self-starts when load is removed — no thermal protection, burnout risk, or electronic fault recovery needed
• Infinitely Variable Speed: Regulate output speed and torque via inlet pressure or flow control valve — no electronic drives or VFDs required
• Atlas Copco Quality: Designed and manufactured to ISO 9001 standards; global spare parts and service network with application engineering support

Ideal Applications

• Precision speed control in automation machinery
• Six-vane direct drive process applications
• Smooth low-speed agitation in food processing
• Process drives needing closed-loop speed feedback
• Hazardous area installations requiring ATEX Zone 1/21 certified pneumatic drives
• Environments where electric motors present ignition, EMI, or water ingress risks

The LZL15 six-vane direct-drive motor uses optimised vane/cylinder sealing through a combination of vane air pressure and interconnecting pins — ensuring vanes are firmly seated at start-up for consistent, high starting torque every cycle. This makes it ideal for applications where motors start and stop under load, such as mixing heads and indexed conveyors.
