Reciprocating compressor

Reciprocating compressors are one of the traditional compressor designs and are still common in many applications requiring low capacity, high pressure. In these types of applications, high temperatures are inevitable, which can also cause bearing friction and lubrication problems.

Reciprocating air compressor

Reciprocating air compressors are commonly used in household and light industrial applications, and are prone to high temperatures during the operation of pistons, cylinders, and crankshafts.

Usually, roller bearings are used for the main crankshaft. At the connecting rod position, use roller bearings or shaft sleeves (sliding bearings). All bearings must be able to withstand high temperatures and maintain sufficient lubrication.

Understand the bearing and shaft sleeve series used for reciprocating air compressors. They have the performance characteristics of high temperature resistance and low maintenance, making your reciprocating air compressor more cost-effective and competitive.

Reciprocating air conditioning compressor

The reciprocating air conditioner compressor generates high temperatures. In this application, the most commonly used bearings for the main crankshaft and connecting rod mechanism are deep groove ball bearings, needle roller bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, and sleeve bearings (sliding bearings). All these bearings must withstand high temperatures and heavy loads.

IMCB bearings and bushings can provide high temperature resistance and low maintenance performance. See how our solution can help make your reciprocating air conditioning compressor more cost-effective and competitive.
