This type of air compression system features a motor directly connected to the pump. This configuration eliminates the need for belts or gears. The motor’s rotational force is immediately transferred to the pump, initiating the compression of air. An example is a small, portable unit used for inflating tires or powering pneumatic tools in a home workshop.
The inherent design promotes efficiency by minimizing power loss due to friction associated with intermediary transmission components. This can translate to reduced energy consumption and lower operating costs. Historically, these systems have been favored in applications where compactness and ease of maintenance are prioritized, often found in smaller-scale operations.
