Oil Less
An air compressor is a critical tool for a variety of applications, from cleaning operations to power tools and industrial processes. They operate using a piston and cylinder mechanism, which takes air in from the surrounding area and compresses it into a reinforced tank. The walls of the cylinder must be thoroughly lubricated to allow the piston to move freely. Typically, compressor designs incorporate oil or grease as a lubricant to ensure that the piston operates smoothly and reliably.
In more recent years, lubricant materials such as Teflon have grown increasingly popular for use in high-friction applications such as air compressor cylinders. Using naturally lubricating solids, oil-free air compressors enhance the safety and reliability of air compressor operations. Compressed Air Systems, Inc. is pleased to offer high-quality dependable oil-less air compressors for a variety of applications.
Oil-Less Air Compressors
An oil-less air compressor is characterized by the composition of its cylinder walls. Standard air compressors use steel or aluminum cylinders, which require lubrication such as oil or grease. Oil-less air compressors incorporate low-friction solids like Teflon into the cylinder walls, to create a low-friction environment without the need for liquid lubricants. Compressors that use oil-less lubricated cylinders require less maintenance, and are ideal for applications where oil spray and airborne lubricants must be avoided.
Oil-Less Air Compressor Applications
Oil-less air compressors operate more cleanly and reliably, with less maintenance than their oil-based counterparts. In fact, their low environmental impact, low noise, and low maintenance operations make them an increasingly popular option for many industries, including:
