A lot of power tools and automated machine and robotic equipments nowadays use pneumatic actuators such as pneumatic cylinders and rotary actuators by applying pressurized air to operate instead of electric motors. One reason is to eliminate electric motor which easily breaks when overloaded, also electrically operated actuators requires gears and linkages to produce a linear movement and are bulky and heavy not to mention they are very expensive to maintain. On the other hand, pneumatic tools are very simple to operate with few moving parts and easy to maintain if not maintenance free. These high performance tools require continuous clean air supply to operate and require pressure to function properly.
Dewalt air compressor is a complete solution to all your pressurized air needs, providing a continuous supply of air anywhere when you need it. They have a wide variety of product with different size and capacity to meet any kind of job. Like most models of Dewalt air compressors they are equipped with a reliable electric or gas powered air compressor that is quiet and efficient. Good for use in most construction sites and harsh environment job locations. With its easy to read instrumentation you can easily monitor air pressure and adjust it to desired pressure with a twist of a knob up to a maximum pressure of 90 PSI by its built-in pneumatic regulator. Depending on the model it has vertical or horizontally mounted tanks which are tested to be safe to use under normal conditions. If you prefer a low-profile unit to fit tight spaces you can use the portable vertically mounted tank or if you need to save floor area and save space a horizontally mounted tank is also available. All Dewalt compressors are equipped with tanks that meet the most quality standards for safe usage. Larger capacity models have larger tanks and can handle multiple tools and equipment and usually equipped with pneumatic tires for easy transport. The appealing bright yellow color which is common to construction equipments allows anyone to identify it easily. The condensed water from the atmosphere, accumulated at the bottom of the tank can be easily drained with its built-in ball valve. A dual quick connect universal coupler located at the control panel is available for use with any standard coupler used in pneumatic tools. To extend its support to costumers they make sure that there’s a Dewalt air compressor parts just in case you need them.
Before purchasing a compressor there are things to consider, one is the capacity, most people just buy a cheap product without determining the required flow capacity and end up having an under rated compressor. Using an under rated unit will break easily because they run endlessly to maintain air pressure thus overheating not to mention the cost of fuel or electricity it uses. It also affects the performance of the pneumatic tools since it operates below the required pressure. Another thing to consider is the quality of air it produces. Our atmosphere contains lots of contaminants including moisture and dust particles which are harmful to pneumatic tools and equipment. If you are going to buy a compressor try to buy one with built-in pneumatic filter, this will not only ensures the maximum performance of your pneumatic-tools buy also prolong its life and reduce maintenance cost. Buy a reputable brand like Dewalt specially if you are using it for business, you don’t want to stop production or your work just because of broken air compressor.
