Features and Benefits

Unique Housing Construction

  • Housing jackets permit cooling and assure dimensional stability.
  • Removable end-covers permit easy access to timing gears, seals and bearings.

Quiet Helical Timing Gears

  • Synchronized rotors with close clearances enhance long life.
  • Timing gears transmit only a tenth of the driver power, resulting in negligible wear.

Lubricant-free Compression

  • No oil contamination of air or gas being compressed.

Positive Displacement Compressor

  • Operates over a wide range of pressures and speeds.
  • Handles a multitude of gases from air to light hydrocarbons, ammonia, freon, hydrogen and nitrogen.
  • Permits operation at moderate speeds, suitable for direct-connected motor drive.

Less Area Required for Capacity Range

  • May cut floor space costs substantially.

No Unbalanced Forces

  • Eliminates need for expensive foundation, lowering installation costs.

Rotors Do Not Touch Each Other or the Casing

  • Actual compressing parts not subject to mechanical wear.
  • Power requirements are less than other types of oil-free compressors in its pressure range.

Additional Type H Axi Features & Benefits

High-capacity Thrust Bearings

  • Large self-equalizing tilt pad bearings provide long wear.
  • High-capacity thrust hearings handle high loads.

Precision-milled Helical Rotors

  • Dynamically-balanced rotor assembly precludes vibration for less wear, longer life.
  • Provides a continuous flow of gas without pumping or surging.
  • Optional protective shaft sleeves prevent shaft wear and minimize replacement downtime.

Short, Rigid Shafts

  • Operate well below first critical speed.
  • Handle higher pressure differentials.
  • Employ higher-speed, lower-cost drivers.

Internally-cooled Rotors

  • Maintain clearance stability to allow compressor to run at higher temperatures without seizing.
  • Cooling oil enters and leaves at the end of the shaft and is centrifugally forced through the bored rotor.

Heavy-duty Radial Bearings

  • Generously-sized babbitted steel journal bearings assure long life in continuous service.
  • Bearings fit into precision-machined cartridges, allowing compressor to run at higher speeds.
  • Conservative ratings result in long life.

Water-cooled

  • Permits cooling to assure dimensional stability (maintain clearances).
