Give Your Compressor an Organ Transplant
Your compressor has served you well, but lately it has been getting tired, or has tired out completely. Time for a whole new unit? Wait – because that solution is likely to cost you a small fortune. Thankfully, most of your compressor’s internal organs are replaceable, but again, not so fast, as some replacement…
Read MoreFind a Quality Conical Compression Spring for Your Project
A conical compression spring typically withstands more pressure than a standard spring because of its innovative design. A cone shaped compression spring has a wide base that tapers to a smaller top. This shape allows it to keep going while more traditional springs buckle and break. Replacing your outdated springs with a newer model…
Read MoreHow to Obtain High Quality Helical Springs
A helical spring, sometimes referred to as a coil spring, is a small but essential component of many types of compressors. Used to maintain tension, these springs must combine durability and elasticity in order to serve their functions. High quality springs maintain a balance between sufficient elasticity to allow the desired degree of compression…
Read MoreThe Importance of Compressor Valve Plates
A compressor depends in large measure on the reliability of its valves. Once a valve malfunctions, your compressor will decrease its function, waste energy and may even end up damaged. An important part of keeping valves in working order at all times is the regular inspection and replacement of compressor valve plates. Stainless…
Read MoreBe Prepared With a Gasket Kit
Compression is a very important part of many different machine operations, so keeping your compressor in working order is a top priority. One major component in any compressor system is the gasket which ensures your compressor can hold the desired amount of pressure. A damaged or faulty gasket means you will lose precious heat…
Read MoreWhy Compression Flat Wire Springs Work Efficiently
Compressor springs may not seem that important to the overall operation, but they are vital to the performance of the equipment. One aspect of the coil that increases functionality and longevity is to use a flat wire to create the spring. By having a rectangular cross section, there are many benefits which can be awarded.…
Read MoreWhat to Do When Your Valve Compressor Needs Replacing
A malfunctioning valve compressor can be difficult to diagnose. Signs of breakdown, such as high suction pressure and low discharge pressure, can be subtle. Even these factors may still remain within a normal range, while still resulting in a significant drop in system capacity, raising the temperature of your reciprocating compressor by up to…
Read MoreThe Role of Lantern Rings in a Pump System
There are a number of parts that keep pump systems operating efficiently. One of the most important, yet overlooked pieces is the lantern ring. The lantern ring rests between two packing sets, keeping lubrication in place and away from other vital pump parts. Lantern rings provide the necessary separation between essential pieces in the pump…
Read MoreThe Advantages of Conical Springs
The design, shape and material of your springs affects the functionality and efficiency of their application. When ordering springs for your product, it is important to understand how the dimensions and shape impact the maximum performance of a spring. Conical springs, in particular, have a strength and stability during compression that is matched by…
Read MoreThe Beauty of Thermoplastic Compressor Rings
Manufacturing high-quality compressor components is both an art and a science. Compressor rings are integral parts for any compressor. Metal rings have a long history, but advances have been made in developing other strong, durable materials that can withstand harsh operating conditions. Modern thermoplastics offer an attractive alternative to metal rings, and in the long…
