How Long Do Oil Free Air Compressors Last?
The lifespan of oil-free air compressors depends on several factors, including the type of compressor, maintenance practices, usage intensity, and environmental conditions. Generally, oil-free compressors can last anywhere from 5 to 20 years, although certain types may require more frequent replacements or rebuilds. Here, I’ll delve into different types of oil-free compressors , factors that influence their lifespan, and maintenance practices that can help extend their longevity. Oil Free Screw Air Compressor 1. Types of Oil-Free Air Compressors and Their Expected Lifespans Oil-free air compressors are primarily available in two categories: piston (reciprocating) compressors and rotary screw compressors. Here’s a look at each type and how it impacts longevity: - Piston (Reciprocating) Compressors: These compressors use a piston mechanism to compress air. While durable, they tend to have a shorter lifespan than rotary screw compressors in high-dem...
