Piston (or Reciprocating) Air Compressors

Reciprocating, or piston air compressors, are a type of positive displacement system that sucks air into a chamber, where it is compressed by a reciprocating piston. Effectively, they operate using the principle of reciprocation, which involves moving or transferring something back and forth. By compressing the air using the reciprocating piston, the compressor is able to deliver gases at high pressures that are suitable for a wide range of industries and applications. 

What Are The Benefits of a Piston Compressor?

  • They are able to produce higher-pressure gases
  • Reciprocating compressors are arguably the most flexible model of air compressor, as they are often available in both oil-free and oil-lubricated/flooded models
  • In comparison to other compressors, reciprocating or piston systems often require less energy, making them more energy efficient
  • They are incredibly durable, making them a reliable, long-lasting solution with low maintenance costs
  • Reciprocating air compressors can be located close to your point-of-use, which reduces additional piping costs and subsequent pressure drops
