By machine type

Parts for Piston and Screw Compressors

Different machines need different maintenance. We cover the full spectrum of air compressors.

Rotary Screw Compressor Parts

For industrial screw compressors, the internal components are critical. We stock high-quality air/oil separators, oil filter replacements and thermal valves to keep your system running cool and efficient.

Piston Compressor Parts

For reciprocating models, we supply specific parts such as rings, connecting rods and valve plates. These are essential for maintaining pressure and efficiency in smaller units.

FAQs

Air Compressor Spare Parts FAQs

What are the most common air compressor parts that need replacing?
The most common consumables that require regular service are the inlet air filter, oil filter and air/oil separator element. Other parts like belt drive belts, valves and seals also wear over time. We stock a full range of these service parts.
What is a common problem with an air compressor?
Common issues include air leaks, oil leaks, and failure to start due to electrical issues with the pressure switch or compressor motor. Overheating is also frequent if the oil filter or cooler is blocked.
Can an air compressor be repaired?
Yes, almost all industrial air compressors can be repaired. It is usually far more cost-effective to fit new spare parts or a service kit than to replace the whole unit, unless the airend has failed catastrophically.
Should I use genuine OEM parts or aftermarket compressor spares?
We supply both. Genuine OEM parts guarantee a perfect fit, maintain your warranty and ensure maximum efficiency. High-quality aftermarket parts can be a more cost-effective option for older machines. Our team can help you decide what is best for your performance needs and budget.
Are air compressor parts interchangeable?
Generally, no. Specific parts like the piston, screw element or proprietary filters are unique to brands like Ingersoll Rand or Compair. However, some general accessories such as fittings or gauges might be universal.
How do I find the right part for my compressor?
The best way is to provide us with the compressor brand, model number and serial number, which are all located on the machine’s data plate. This lets us source the exact part for your specific air compressor.
How often should I replace my air compressor filters?
This depends on your operating environment and usage hours. A standard recommendation is every 2,000-4,000 hours, or at least annually as part of your regular service schedule. A clogged air filter reduces performance and increases energy costs.
What is the most common maintenance of an air compressor?
Routine maintenance typically involves changing the lubricants (oil), replacing the air filter and oil filter, and checking the belt drive tension. Using a manufacturer-specified service kit ensures you have all the necessary items.
