Direct Drive Compressors use the most straightfoward design of the 3 as the pump crankshaft is connected directly to the motor shaft. When the motor runs, it powers the pump which delivers air to the receiver.
For reliability, ease-of-operation and cost-effectiveness, direct drive compressor models are ideal.
Belt Drive Compressors are a better choice when the application requires higher air volume and longer runtimes. On belt-driven models, a belt is connected to the pump motor, which then truns the pump to deliver air.
This type of compressor also run slower, providing quieter operation than other types of air compressor.
Rotary Screw Compressors use an air-end pump mechanism to deliver high volume air into the receive, and precision-engineered twin parallel rotary screws to produce efficient airflow for constant performance.
Best suited for tasks requiring continuous air for multiple operators at once, as well as heavy-duty performance.
