Splash Pump
Operation
Splash lubrication systems work by using rod dippers that pass through the oil in the crankcase when the pistons are moving and splash the oil up onto the cylinders and pistons to lubricate them. Although this method is effective, it’s not precise. Parts of the pump may not be receiving enough oil. Where there is not enough oil, wear between critical components can become a costly issue… on the other hand too much oil can also be in issue as well.
Viscosity
Viscosity of the oil becomes important with splash method as well, if the oil is not thick enough it will not cling to the dippers as needed. So, although effective it is becoming an outdated method.
History
Traditional splash lubrication systems have been around since the first air compressor was produced.
Tensioner
Piston
Piston compressors come optional with a belt tensioner. This belt tensioner allows you to easily and quickly tighten your belts. These tensioners also have a double bolt tension device that allows you to keep the belts in perfect alignment. No pry bars needed to tighten your belts!
Rotary
All Rotary Screw belt driven models 5HP – 20HP include an automatic spring-loaded belt tensioning device. This keeps a steady pressure for optimal belt tension.
Belt Drive
Our belt driven compressors are driven by V belts that allow you to adjust the pump speeds by changing pulley sizes.
