SKS Tandem Motors: Dual AC & Pneumatic Drive Solutions

1. Introduction to Tandem Motor Technology

The Tandem Motor is an intelligent drive system that perfectly combines an AC Electric Motor and a Pneumatic Motor on a single shaft. This specialized solution is designed for systems requiring absolute safety, ensuring that equipment remains operational even under the most extreme conditions.

• Normal Operation: The system utilizes the AC motor for high efficiency and easy, high-precision control.

• Emergency Operation: In the event of a power failure, the pneumatic motor mounted at the rear is activated to maintain operation, preventing catastrophic system risks.

2. Key Features and Advantages

• Dual Drive System: The combination of an AC Motor (primary source) and a Pneumatic Motor (backup source) provides 100% availability in all situations.

• Instantaneous Switching Mechanism: The system is designed for automatic or seamless transition to pneumatic operation when power is cut, ensuring zero interruption to the operational process.

• Heavy Industrial Reliability: Robust construction capable of withstanding humid and dusty environments common in outdoor projects.

• Maximum Safety: Eliminates the risk of flow control system paralysis, protecting assets and lives during critical emergencies.

3. Critical Applications

Due to its high-safety redundancy, the Tandem Motor is the premier choice for:

• Water Conservancy & Hydropower: Operating dam gates, spillway gates, and tidal flood barriers.

• Oil & Gas / Chemical Industry: Controlling Emergency Shutdown Valves (ESDV).

• Wastewater Treatment: Controlling sluice gates in urban drainage systems during storms or floods accompanied by grid power outages.

• Fire Safety & HVAC: Ventilation or fire barrier systems that require pneumatic backup to function during a fire-related power loss.
