air amplifiers are designed to boost plant air pressure or increase the
supply air pressure at work stations and pneumatically operated
machinery when the available working pressure is insufficient. Air
operated tools become more efficient when coupled with air amplifiers.
These amplifiers are capable of generating pressures from 30 psi to
4,350 psi. Air amplifiers do not need electrical power, since they use the same compressed air source for both driving and amplifying. This ensures quick installation and cost effective operation. Air amplifiers can be controlled to automatically stop once the desired end pressure has been reached. The amplifier will restart when a drop of only 1% from the stall pressure has been detected. Single stage – MAXPRO offers complete turn-key systems for easy installation. In addition, technical application and service support is available for all air amplifiers and turn-key systems. |

How an Air Amplifier works
Air Amplifiers are intended for use in boosting existing plant air to higher pressures. Each amplifier has a spool valve that acts like a 4-way directional control valve. Plant air is supplied to this spool valve which automatically cycles back and forth. The plant air that is fed into the spool valve is alternately directed, as the spool cycles, to the main air drive piston in the air drive cylinder. This causes the piston to cycle back and forth in the amplifier.
There is also a high pressure section where the air that is to be pressurized is supplied. The air flows into the amplifier pressure chamber, through the inlet check valve(s), on the suction stroke and is pressed out of the chamber, through the outlet check valve(s), on the discharge stroke. The reciprocating movement of the air drive section, connected directly to the high pressure section, creates a positive displacement of air through the inlet and outlet check valves.
There are single and double acting models available. The single acting amplifiers displace air once per full cycle. The double acting amplifiers displace air every stroke, or twice per full cycle, providing higher and more constant flows.
These amplifiers can be installed in any position, but vertical mounting is best for longest seal life.
All connections to the amplifier must be run with equal to, or greater than, the connection size in the amplifier.
NOTE:The air to the amplifier should be filtered to between 5µ and 40µ and have a dew point between 0°F and 50°F. Very moist air can wash out the seal lubricant and very dry air may require a lubricator.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2:1 Ratio Air Amplifier Systems MAXPRO Air Amplifier Systems are ideal for turn-key installation at work stations or machine centers to boost plant air pressure for tools or operation of pneumatic clamps, cylinders and other equipment. These systems provide short-term highflow air or constant flow with reserve, at a constant regulated output pressure. Storage tank is per A.S.M.E. Code and CRN (Canada) and comes with a safety relief valve, drain valve and pressure gauge. Each 200 psi and 250 psi system is also equipped with an inlet air filter and outlet pressure regulator with gauge, all mounted on a common base. The 500 psi and 600 psi systems are equipped with an inlet air filter and inlet air pressure regulator with gauge. High pressure outlet regulator with gauge is available as an option (Add “-R” for a 1/4" FNPT regulator or “-1/2 R” for a 1/2" FNPT high flow regulator to system catalog number). MAXPRO Air Amplifier Systems are available in a number of arrangements and custom designed units are also available to suit your specific flow and pressure requirements. Please consult factory.
