Articulating Piston Compressors Excel in Rigorous Air-Moving Applications

They’ve been used by OEMs and their customers since the dawn of electric- motor-driven compressors. And despite the emergence of alternative technologies – wobble piston and diaphragm among them – articulating piston compressors remain a preferred source of air pressure and vacuum for many demanding applications.

Robust and environmentally tolerant, articulating piston compressors tend to be the choice for the most demanding situations. Their straight up/straight down piston motion is tailor-made for delivering high-pressure, high-volume airflow – and for stopping and restarting against back pressure. Plus, today’s oil-less designs eliminate contamination concerns, so that articulating piston compressors can be used even in critically clean medical, laboratory and beverage systems.
