Pneumatic drive air compressor piston ring

Pneumatic drive air compressor piston ring

An essential part of an air compressor with pneumatic drive is the piston ring. It is situated on the piston and joins the cylinder wall to create a seal. Making ensuring that there is no leakage of gas from the cylinder is the purpose of the piston rings. Rubber is used to make the piston ring. The piston ring makes sure that the gas inside the cylinder doesn’t leak out during the compression and release operation by sealing contact with the cylinder wall. This aids in the correct operation and provision of the necessary gas pressure by the pneumatically powered air compressor. The life and performance of the air compressor greatly depend on the quality of the piston rings that are installed and chosen.

Technical data

Certification standard

• To verify if a manufacturer’s quality management system satisfies worldwide standards, ISO 9001 is a certification standard for quality management systems.
• The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) created ASTM D2000, a rubber material categorization and specification standard, to guarantee that the quality and performance of rubber materials fulfill predetermined standards.
• RoHS: A European directive known as the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) sets restrictions on the amount of hazardous materials, such as lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and others, that can be used in electrical and electronic equipment. If piston rings are utilized in or come into touch with electronic equipment, they might have to adhere to RoHS regulations.
• The European Union’s chemical management law, known as REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals), deals with the registration, assessment, and limitation of chemical compounds’ usage. The applicable standards must be fulfilled if the chemicals used in piston rings are subject to REACH laws.

Advantage and function

1. Sealing performance: To stop gas leaks, piston rings provide a seal between the piston and the cylinder wall. This guarantees steady gas pressure and effective air compressor operation.
2. Wear resistance: The rubber material used to make the pneumatic drive air compressor piston ring is resistant to wear and can tolerate wear between the piston and the cylinder wall. Because of this, the piston rings’ ability to seal can be maintained for prolonged periods of time.
3. High temperature resistance: Certain rubber materials used to make piston rings have the ability to withstand high temperatures and still function well. This is essential for pneumatically powered air compressors because of their high temperature working requirements.
4. Chemical resistance: The piston ring of a pneumatic drive air compressor is resistant to corrosion and damage from air, oil, and other chemicals.
5. Minimize wear and friction: By creating a lubricating film between the piston and cylinder wall, piston rings lessen direct contact between the two. By doing this, the piston and cylinder walls have a longer lifespan due to less wear and friction.
6. Provide steady cylinder sealing: The piston ring of an air compressor driven by a pneumatic drive makes sure that the gas inside the cylinder doesn’t leak and that the cylinder seals steadily. This enhances your air compressor’s effectiveness and performance.
7. Assure enough gas compression efficiency: By maintaining a seal between the piston and the cylinder wall, piston rings assist in achieving the necessary gas compression efficiency. This is essential to the air compressor’s regular operation.
