Technical Overview
The articulated piston compressor utilizes the same operating principle as a conventional car engine piston. The articulated piston transfers rotational energy from a motor into a reciprocating motion used to compress air in a cylinder. The rotational motion is transferred through an eccentric and bearing assembly to the connecting rod and on through the wrist pin to the piston itself.  …read more
