WOB-L Piston
Dynamic Compression by a Fixed Piston Inside Cylinder
WOB-L piston pumps work to reduce a volume by a fixed crank-driven piston within a cylinder.
- Compact, reciprocating design for vacuum or pressure
- Oil-less, non-lube piston and cylinder
- Lightweight die cast aluminum components or highly wear-resistant plastic
- Single stage and multistage models
- Balanced for low vibration operation
- All wetted aluminum parts treated for corrosion protection from moisture
- Long life, high performance piston seal
- Permanently lubricated bearings
- Flow rates up to 6.6 cfm (187 l/min), pressure to 160 psi (11 bar), vacuum down to 27.7 in.Hg (–940 mbar rel)
Technical Overview
The WOB-L piston principle has a unitary piston rod whereby the piston ‘wobbles’ inside the cylinder as the crankshaft rotates. Taking the name from its principle of operation; the WOB-L trademark was patented by two engineers working at Thomas Industries, Inc. thirty years ago, and provided a piston compressor radically different from any other design on the market at that time. It remains a significant innovation in the field of compressor technology today. …read more
