AI Series Direct Drive Rotary Screw Compressors


The Power of the Direct Drive
Tecom's new direct drive gear couple screw compressors are the epitome of efficiency. Instead of using belts, we have created a compressor where the air end and the motor are attached directly to each other via a gear couple. This eliminates the losses associated with using belts and pulleys as an energy transfer medium. On smaller compressors, the savings are not significant, however on bigger more powerful compressors, the savings associated with using a direct drive compressor are tremendous. Furthermore, all our direct drive compressors use 1500 RPM motors instead of the standard 3000 rpm motors. The slower the motor spins, the longer the lifetime of the motor, which translates to more long term savings for our customers! Buying a Tecom direct drive screw compressor is a worthwhile investment in the future of your company. Here are just some of the advantages offered by Tecom's direct drive compressors:

  • 1500 rpm motor with an oversized gear-driven airend. This leads to a stronger structure, longer maintenance intervals, lower vibration, and lower noise levels.
  • The airend itself is designed for operation in the harshest environments 24 hours a day if needed. Using these airends with 1500 rpm motors makes an extremely durable pairing.
  • Strong radial and axial bearing on both the airends and the motors assure a longer servicelife.
  • Maintenancy-free couple removes transmission losses that are inevitable in belt driven mechanisms.
