An air compressor is a mechanical device that converts power, usually from an electric motor or internal combustion engine, into compressed air. This compressed air, stored in a tank or delivered directly to applications, is essential in various industries such as manufacturing, automotive, and construction. The compressor operates by drawing in air and compressing it to increase its pressure. There are several types of air compressors, including reciprocating (piston), rotary screw, and centrifugal models, each designed for different applications and pressure needs. Equipped with pressure regulators and gauges, air compressors allow for precise control of the air pressure. They often include a storage tank to ensure a steady supply of compressed air and reduce the need for continuous operation. Depending on the application, air compressors can be powered by electricity, gasoline, or diesel.

They are used for tasks ranging from powering pneumatic tools and machinery in manufacturing, inflating tires and powering tools in automotive workshops, to supplying air for construction equipment and HVAC systems. Air compressors enhance efficiency by providing a reliable and consistent source of compressed air, making them a versatile and cost-effective solution for many industrial and commercial tasks.
