Our reciprocating air compressors have a low RPM design with quick, easy maintenance and renewable components. Easy access to the components allows for routine maintenance and replacement of parts like the individually cast cylinders, piston wear-sleeves, and the 15,000-hour bearings.

There are cylinders with pistons inside the reciprocating compressors. Each cylinder has a concealed end near the cylinder head and is finished at one end with a movable piston. The cylinder valves are located at the rear of the compressor’s valve chambers. During the first phase of compression, the air is allowed to enter the cylinder through a suction valve that is opened by the piston’s motion. This creates a gap. The second part of the phrase, “reciprocating,” is then complete as the piston begins compressing the air while changing direction. Valves open and release air when the pressure within the cylinder is greater than the pressure in the discharge pipes.
