Types of the air compressors

The main task of the compressor is the air feed in various pneumatic tools, spray guns, or water sprayers, and so on. In general, all devices are divided into oil-filled and oil-free because both these types differ by its destination.

Oil-filled compressors.

A peculiarity of these devices is a splash lubrication system, due to which a friction is reduced, and so does the heating. This way, the pump sealing is improved, and the components wear is decreased. The lubrication is the essential condition for the work with the pneumatic tools because it lowers the level of the tool wear and reduces the noise level.

Before choosing an oil-filled compressor, it is necessary to take into account that such models are mainly used during the repair and façade works, on small factories and car-care centers. If there is a need to use the air-brush or spray, there is a risk that oil may get the paint. If you do not know how to correctly choose a compressor to paint a car, bear in mind that oil-filled compressor should not be used in order to keep the quality of the paintwork materials and a car. Moreover, these devices require a regular maintenance. It is necessary to replace the air filters and control the oil level.

Best oil-lubricated air compressor for home garage

Now a day, an air compressor is a very important thing in maintaining vehicles, run the machines and other purposes. The well-known hardware manufacturing company MAKITA has launched this special type of air compressor.

  • Cast iron pump with big bore cylinder and piston, combined with greater bore and stroke, delivers maximum performance
  • Substantially lower noise levels with a large 1,720 RPM pump, enabling greater displacement at lower RPM
  • Low amp draw reduces incidences of tripped breakers and voltage drop that can cause premature motor failure
  • Oil lubricated provides cooler running pump, minimizes wear
  • One-year manufacturer’s warranty
  • Product Dimensions 18 x 22 x 10 inches
  • Item Weight 59.6 pounds

Pros:
  • Durable Designs
  • The full body is made of Cast Iron for bearing ultimate compressive stress. The design is so much scientific that each of the small places of the body is utilized with small specifications with a weight of 60 pounds.

  • Special Additions
  • In this design, the bore diameter is larger with the stroke length than others. For this, at a time a much amount of air can be compressed.

  • Noise-free solutions
  • At the time of loading air, there is created a huge level of noise from a running generator. But this generator has a quality of low noise with a 2 HP power output. The pump has a speed of 1720 RPM that is considered as higher speed in motor specifications.

  • Safety Features
  • There is a proper MCCP, which saves the motor by cutting power source if there is high or low voltage or short circuit. Another side, the rotating parts are always submerged with lubricants for less wear.

  • Suitable Technical Specifications
  • The compressor has a dimension of 18*22*10 inches. So it is portable. For easy portability, it has a Cast Iron made a handle for supporting full body. It has a primary electric connection of 120 volts.

  • Additional Features
  • There is a suitable pressure gauge to measure the air pressure at a time. The pressure valve controls the exceed pressure and releases it to the environment and another side it cuts the power source. Not only have these, but also one can get an output of a set amount of pressure by controlling the nozzle.

  • Extended Warranty and fast servicing
  • It has a primary warranty of 1 year, and after that one can extend the warranty from the company sites. The company provides the same warranty for each part. If there is any failure in the warranty period, the company replaces it right then.

Cons:
  • Regular and fresh changing in Lubricant Sink and body maintenance
  • For regular uses and for more longevity, there must be a proper lubricant and the lubricant is high in price. The bore must be opened at a time for releasing air. Moreover, at the time of loading the valves must be checked carefully as closed.

  • Primary large current input
  • The air compressor is not suitable for the domestic current source, it must be connected with the commercial source for getting large power input and also avoiding exceed load.
