A bearing air passage through which bearing air is supplied toward an air bearing of an air motor and a turbine air passage through which driving air is supplied toward a turbine are provided in a housing. An annular space surrounding the air motor is provided between the housing and a cover. A bearing air branch passage connecting the annular space and the bearing air passage to each other and a turbine air branch passage for connecting the annular space and the turbine air passage to each other are provided. The air branch passages lead a part of the compressed air to the annular space and keep the cover in a heated state.

The present invention is intended to solve a problem that a coating film has an uneven thickness in the case where a coating target 1 has a stepped portion extending in a predetermined direction on its coating surface. To solve the problem, a follow-up coating is performed along the stepped portion S extending in the predetermined direction after coating of the entire coating surface of the coating target 1 so that paint mist adheres more to a relatively-recessed side of the stepped portion S.

Described herein is a device for performing and optically monitoring a rotational atomization of a coating material composition, where the device includes at least one rotational atomizer, which includes as application element a mountable bell cup capable of rotation, at least one supply unit for supplying the coating material composition to the rotational atomizer, at least one camera, and at least one optical measurement unit. Also described herein are a method of using the device for performing and optical monitoring the rotational atomization of the coating material composition and a method for determining the mean length of filaments formed on the edge of the bell cup of an rotational atomizer during the rotational atomization of the coating material composition and/or for determining at least one characteristic variable of the drop size distribution within a spray and/or the homogeneity of the spray.

Provided is a rotary atomization painting device that can adjust balance in a state in which a bell cup and an inner member are integrally assembled and can achieve an increase in yield and a reduction in the number of manufacturing steps. A rotary atomization painting device including a rotary atomizer head configured to rotate to atomize paint, the rotary atomizer head having: a bell cup that is formed into a bell shape to cause paint to be formed into a thin film; and an inner member that is arranged inside the bell cup and forms a paint reservoir, the inner member having a plurality of weight mounts on which weights are selectively mountable.
