Finish Thompson M6X M6X Drum Pump Air Motor
The M6X is a Finish Thompson M Series drum and container pump, built in the motor enclosure. It is the drive unit that mounts on top of a Finish Thompson drum pump tube. The M6X is a build variant of the M6 compressed air drum pump motor, sharing its filter, lubricator and air hose accessories.
It exists so that product comes out of the container under control rather than over the lip of it. Motor and tube are a matched system, so the coupling, the mounting and the power rating all have to correspond, and a motor chosen on power alone will not necessarily fit the tube you have.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What causes a motor to run hot?
Restricted cooling, a binding pump tube, or running past the duty cycle the motor was designed for.
Q: Is the motor suitable for outdoor use?
That depends on its enclosure rating rather than the motor family, so check the enclosure against where it will be mounted.
Q: Can the motor be repaired rather than replaced?
Bearings, brushes and couplings are serviceable items, while a burned winding normally means a replacement motor.
Q: Does the motor need a filter or lubricator?
Air motors do, and running one on unfiltered or dry air is the fastest way to wear the vanes.
