Abstract: The invention relates to a pneumatic motor, in which a rotor (16) driven by compressed air rotates in a cylindrical motor sleeve (14). As a replacement for lubrication with compressed operating air containing oil, as, has hitherto been the conventional practice, cavities (28) for accommodating a lubricant ( ) and connecting paths for the transport of the lubricant (30) from the cavities (28) into the motor sleeve (14) are provided in the rotor (16).
