The Story
The Bedford 20-1230 is a direct-fit replacement kit for the Senator Air Motor, the pneumatic powerhead commonly found on portable airless spray systems used in industrial and jobsite applications. Pump service specialists and fluid handling technicians rely on this rebuild kit to restore Senator Air Motor performance when pneumatic efficiency drops or motor response becomes sluggish during high-volume coating work.
Industrial maintenance crews and rental equipment service staff use this kit to extend the operational life of Senator equipment by replacing internal wear components that naturally degrade under repeated pressurization cycles. Restoring the air motor to OEM specifications ensures consistent spray pressure delivery and reduces downtime between service calls.
Common reasons for replacement:
- Air motor produces inconsistent pressure output or fails to reach full operating PSI during spray applications
- Pneumatic response becomes sluggish, causing delayed motor engagement or erratic spray patterns
- Internal seals and packings show signs of wear, resulting in air leakage around the motor housing
- Equipment has completed a significant service interval and requires preventive rebuilding to maintain reliability
Manufactured to OEM-equivalent dimensions for proper fit and performance. Compatible Graco equipment models are listed in the Compatible Equipment section below, where available.
Replacement for: Graco 218-122, Graco 218122.
