Working Mechanism
- A piston air compressor operates by using one or more reciprocating pistons.
- When the motor starts, it drives a crankshaft connected to the piston.
- As the crankshaft rotates, it moves the piston(s) back and forth inside a cylinder.
- During the piston's outward stroke, the air is drawn into the cylinder through an intake valve.
- During the piston's inward stroke, the air is compressed and then discharged through a discharge valve, creating a continuous supply of pressurised air for various applications.
Features
- These Thomas Pumps piston air compressors have capacitor start / permanent magnet motors for improved speed control and efficiency.
- Piston air compressors offer intermittent / continuous-duty cycles for reduced heat buildup and enhanced productivity.
- Selected models, such as Piston air compressors, feature totally enclosed motors for reduced moisture infiltration and contamination.
Frequently Asked Questions
