Oil Lubricated Compressors

Oil-lubricated compressors are a type of air compressor that relies on oil for lubricating the moving parts, particularly the pistons, crankshaft, and bearings, to reduce friction and dissipate heat. This lubrication increases the compressor’s efficiency and lifespan, making it more durable and suitable for heavy-duty applications. Oil-lubricated compressors are commonly used in industrial settings, workshops, automotive services, and construction.

  • Key features: Advantages of oil-lubricated compressors include higher durability, better efficiency for prolonged use, and the ability to generate higher pressures. They tend to be quieter and more reliable than oil-free models when it comes to handling demanding tasks. These compressors are capable of continuous operation, making them ideal for large-scale projects that require uninterrupted air supply.
  • Maintenance: The oil needs to be regularly checked and changed, and filters must be maintained to prevent contamination in air-sensitive applications. They are also bulkier and heavier than oil-free models, making them less ideal for portable use.
