Basic Air Compressor Components

Oil-less air compressor are factory lubricated for life and do not require any oil.
A & B
The basic components of the air compressor
the electric motor, pump, pressure switch, and tank.
The electric motor (see A) powers the pump.
The electric motor is equipped with an overload
protector and an automatic reset. If the motor
becomes overheated, the overload protector will
shut it down to prevent damage to the motor.
When the motor sufficiently cools, it will automatically restart.
C
The pump (see B) compresses the air and discharges it into the tank. k
The tank (see C) stores the compressed air.
The pressure switch (located internally) shuts down the motor and relieves the air pressure in the
pump and transfer tube when the air pressure in the tank reaches the kick-out pressure, the pressure
switch restarts the motor automatically, without warning, and the pump resumes compressing air.
