Piston compressors operate on a basic principle: they use a piston to move the air inside a cylinder and compress it.
These compressors are available in lubricated and oil-free versions. Most of them use two cylinders, one for low pressure and the other for high pressure. However, small-sized piston compressors have only one cylinder, making them perfect for workshop applications.
Piston compressors are available in a power range from 1 HP to approximately 30 HP. They are widely used for intermittent general-purpose applications, such as workshop or garage compressors, where the compressed air is used for hand tools, dust cleaning, small paint jobs, etc.
