Speedaire 5Z404 air compressor pump is used for generating high-pressure compressed air for powering pneumatic tools, machinery and equipment. It is ideal for industrial settings, automotive repair shops and manufacturing facilities.
Working Mechanism:
- Speedaire 5Z404 air compressor pump operates with a two-stage compression process. Air is drawn into the pump and compressed by two pistons in sequential stages, increasing its pressure.
- Reed valves facilitate one-way airflow and prevent backflow during compression. Once compressed, the air is released into the air receiver tank through the outlet valve.
Features:
- It has a 2-stage design for high-pressure output.
- This air compressor pump has a maximum output power of 5 hp.
- It has stainless steel reed valves for durability and reliable operation.
- This air compressor pump offers a free air flow rate of 17.1 cfm at 175 psi.
- It features cast iron construction for structural rigidity and long service life.
- This pump is equipped with a 16-1/2 inch flywheel for efficient power transmission.
Compatible Accessories:
- Speedaire 1WG49 Compressor Oil: This oil ensures lubrication of pump components, enhancing performance and extending the lifespan of the compressor pump.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. Does Speedaire 5Z404 air compressor pump require lubrication?
A. Yes, the pump requires splash lubrication to ensure smooth operation and longevity of its components. Proper lubrication maintenance is essential for optimal performance.
Q. What factors should be considered while choosing air compressor pumps?
A.
- Users should check whether they require reciprocating or rotary-type pumps and whether the applications require a single-stage or multi-stage operation.
- They should also verify the power rating of an air compressor in horsepower (hp). The higher the horsepower, the higher the cost. So, choose the power rating according to application requirements.
- Specific applications require a specific amount of air pressure and airflow rate. Maximum air pressure and rate & volume of airflow offered by an air compressor pump should match the application before purchasing. CFM (cubic feet per minute) denotes the maximum quantity of air a compressor can produce at a preset pressure level.
