  2. Reciprocating compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocating_compressor

    A reciprocating compressor or piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that uses pistons driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure. [1][2] Pressures of up to 5,000 psig are commonly produced by multistage reciprocating compressors. The intake gas enters the suction manifold, then flows into the compression cylinder ...

  3. Compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor

    Compressor. A small stationary high pressure breathing air compressor for filling scuba cylinders. Natural gas compressor at a gas well. High pressure reciprocating compressor from Belliss and Morcom, used in the bottling industry. A compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume.

  4. Air compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_compressor

    Air compressor supplies air into a nail gun.. An air compressor is a machine that takes ambient air from the surroundings and discharges it at a higher pressure. It is an application of a gas compressor and a pneumatic device that converts mechanical power (from an electric motor, diesel or gasoline engine, etc.) into potential energy stored in compressed air, which has many uses.

  5. Rotary-screw compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary-screw_compressor

    A rotary-screw compressor is a type of gas compressor, such as an air compressor, that uses a rotary-type positive-displacement mechanism. These compressors are common in industrial applications and replace more traditional piston compressors where larger volumes of compressed gas are needed, e.g. for large refrigeration cycles such as chillers ...

  6. Pneumatic motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_motor

    A pneumatic motor (air motor), or compressed-air engine, is a type of motor which does mechanical work by expanding compressed air. Pneumatic motors generally convert the compressed-air energy to mechanical work through either linear or rotary motion. Linear motion can come from either a diaphragm or piston actuator, while rotary motion is ...

  7. Pneumatic cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_cylinder

    Pneumatic cylinder, also known as air cylinder, is a mechanical device which uses the power of compressed gas to produce a force in a reciprocating linear motion. [1]: 85. Like in a hydraulic cylinder, something forces a piston to move in the desired direction. The piston is a disc or cylinder, and the piston rod transfers the force it develops ...
