Different Types of Air Compressors

Air Compressor Features for Every Task

Our selection of compressors includes models for every job type. Here are five important ratings to look for when deciding on the best compressor for your needs:

• Horsepower (HP): A compressor's horsepower is the raw strength of its motor. Higher horsepower motors fill the air tank more quickly, allowing you to work on your projects faster.
• Tank size: Larger tanks let you work with sustained speed and lower motor heat, while smaller tanks are more portable and need less juice to fill. At Ace, you can choose tanks from 1 gallon for lighter jobs up to over 20 gallons for heavy-duty work.
• Air couplers: Our range of products includes air compressor models with more than one air coupler to accommodate multiple users. This allows faster completion of tasks at the job site or DIY steps.

The Difference Between PSI and CFM

Two of the most important aspects of any air compressor are the difference between PSI and CFM in what they measure.

• Pounds per square inch (PSI): The PSI figure tells you how much pressure the compressor can deliver to your tools. It's important to match the pressure to the tool and the task for safety and efficiency. Our selection features models with plenty of PSI to get your work done with power to spare.
• Cubic feet per minute (CFM): A CFM rating tells you how fast your compressor can deliver air to your tools. Higher CFMs mean you can run more powerful tools, or even several pneumatic tools at the same time, without overloading the system.

Space-Conscious Portable Air Compressor Styles

Along with each model’s specifications, there may be added features you need to complete the job with ease. Look for the following types of large and small air compressor tank styles to find the right model for you:

• Vertical air compressors allow for greater storage options when ground space is limited but don’t perform differently from pancake air compressors.
• Twin-stack compressors may weigh more than horizontal compressors but can carry more air, allowing you to easily tackle larger jobs.
• Portable air compressors are compact, versatile and ideal for on-the-go tasks, from inflating tires to powering tools. These small air compressors are great for smaller, quicker jobs.

Looking for more pneumatic tools? We also offer pneumatic air guns and air wrenches to accomplish a variety of jobs with greater versatility.

Air Compressor Accessories

Along with these features, look for high-quality air compressor accessories to help make projects and repairs quick and easy. From air hoses and air tool accessories to air hose fittings and tool guns, find what you need to get the most out of your air compressor.

Some items that may come with an air compressor kit include high-pressure tapered nozzles, valve adapters, inflator needles, high-volume tapered nozzles, high-pressure rubber hoses, inflation kits, compressor oils and more.
