Specifications


	Configuration
	Your choices are...
	Fixed / Floor Mounted		The compressor on skid or plate is positioned on the floor. This can frequently contain transport features such as forklift slots.
	Portable		Wheels, size and/or handles make compressor suitable for easy transportation.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Maximum Pressure:		Maximum level of air pressure generated by the compressor. Units are typically referenced to one atmosphere (as in psig or psi gauge). Maximum flow may not occur at maximum pressure.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Maximum Free Air Delivery:		Free air delivery is the actual air produced by the compressor pump at the rated pressure. Maximum free air delivery (F.A.D.) is usually rated at a pressure somewhat less than the maximum pressure available. Units are volume per unit time.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

Power Source


	Power Source:
	Your choices are...
	DC Power		DC power includes battery power or higher voltage power from a power supply.
	AC Single Phase		Typical single phase voltages include 115V/60Hz and 230V/50Hz.
	AC Three Phase		Many industrial devices run from three-phase power, such as 208V or 377V.
	Gasoline		Gasoline engine drives compressor pump.
	Diesel		Diesel engine drives compressor pump.
	Natural Gas		Natural gas engine powers compressor pump.
	Other		Unlisted power source for compressor pump.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Lubrication Style



	Your choices are...
	Oil-less		Permanently sealed bearings, low friction compression components, and separation of process air from pump mechanics eliminate oil in air output. Oil-less is a term applied to compressors that contain no oil. Used for medical or more critical no oil applications.
	Oil-free		An oil-free (dry) compressor will have no lubrication on the compression chamber side of the machine. This may not result in oil-free compressed air due to the fact that the ambient air being sucked into the compressor will contain hydrocarbons, which will condense into liquid oil further down stream
	Lubricated		Compressor compression chamber and drive chamber are lubricated with oil. Lubrication can be done by a variety of means including splash, spray, or positive pressure.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Compressor Technology



	Your choices are...
	Linear		Linear compressors have no sliding parts; compression is generated with electromagnetic oscillation. This type of compressor is clean and quiet.
	Diaphragm		Diaphragm oscillation is driven by a rod and has no sliding seals or parts.
	Reciprocating Piston		The piston mechanically reduces air volume inside cylinder.
	Rocking Piston		Rocking pistons are similar to reciprocating pistons, but are not articulated. These compressors "rock" with eccentric motion of the drive.
	Rotary Vane		Rotary vanes are eccentrically-mounted rotors and sliding vanes, which compress air in diminishing volume compartments.
	Rotary Screw		Rotary screws are rotating helical screws, which compresses air prior to discharge. This provides even flow at relatively low pressures.
	Lobed Rotor		When using lobed rotor compressors, air is trapped and compressed by the meshing of oppositely rotating screws.
	Centrifugal		Centrifugal compressors use high-speed impellers, which produces radial airflow. The velocity is converted to pressure energy.
	Axial Blower		Multiple-blade rotor imparts axial velocity, which is converted to pressure. Axial blowers have very high flow rates.
	Regenerative Blower		Regenerative blowers are similar to centrifugal with airflow chambers designed to generate higher pressure.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary compressor type.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
