Types & Features of Reciprocating Air Compressors
Single-Stage Reciprocating Air Compressors
A single-stage reciprocating air compressor uses one piston to compress air in a single stroke. It is ideal for low to moderate-pressure tasks in workshops, automotive maintenance, and similar applications.
Special Features:
- Crankshaft: Double-ended ball bearings and forged steel connecting rods run with minimal vibration.
- Piston: Equalized aluminum pistons with compression and oil control rings for optimized efficiency.
- Valve: Heat-treated stainless steel finger valves with centric disc plates and high-quality springs ensure fast action and long life.
- Connecting Rod: Precision-machined steel rod with needle bearing at the big end and brass bush at the small end for heavy-duty operation.
- Cylinder: Cast iron cylinders with deep radial fins, precision-bored and honed for smooth operation and fast heat dissipation.
Two-Stage Reciprocating Air Compressors
Our two-stage compressors use dual pistons for higher industrial pressure, with cast iron cylinders and radial fins for efficient cooling and long service life.
Special Features:
- Crankshaft: Overhung steel crankshaft with replaceable bush, balanced on two ball bearings for smooth operation.
- Cylinder: Cast iron cylinders with deep radial fins, precision-bored for optimal performance and heat dissipation.
- Connecting Rod: One-piece machined rod with integral splash lubrication for reliable operation.
- Piston: Balanced pistons with compression and oil control rings; cylinders available in aluminum or cast iron depending on the model.
- Valve: Heat-treated stainless steel finger valves with disc plates and steel springs for high flow, durability, and easy servicing.
