Piston Compressor

A piston compressor is a type of positive displacement compressor that uses a piston driven by a crankshaft to compress air or gas. It works by drawing air into a cylinder, where the piston compresses the air, reducing its volume, and then expelling it. This type of compressor is typically used in various industrial applications and for tools that require compressed air.

Key Features and Advantages of Piston Compressors

High Pressure Output

Piston compressors can generate very high pressures, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

Simple Design

The piston and cylinder design is relatively simple, which makes piston compressors cost-effective and easy to maintain.

Flexibility

These compressors can handle both low and high flow rates, and they are available in a variety of sizes and configurations.

Durability

With proper maintenance, piston compressors can last a long time and are capable of withstanding heavy use.

Portability

Smaller piston compressors, especially single-stage models, are often portable and can be used for light-duty tasks in a variety of locations.
