This oil-free air compressor piston ring and cylinder set replaces the worn sealing parts in a small direct-drive compressor pump. It is sold as a set of 2 pieces, one cylinder and one piston ring, in four sizes matched to 550W, 750W, 1100W and 1500W compressor pumps.
Features and benefits:
- Oil-free cylinder and piston ring supplied together - both wearing parts are renewed in one go
- Rubber ring material in black - made for oil-free pumps that run without lubricating oil
- Four sizes to match pump power - 550W, 750W, 1100W and 1500W options, with the matching dimensions listed below
- Labelled ring sizes - the supplier's drawings give inner and outer diameters, so you can check against your old part before ordering
- Sold as a 2 piece set - one cylinder and one piston ring per set
- Restores compression on tired pumps - a worn ring is a common cause of slow tank filling on small compressors
Applications:
- Servicing small oil-free workshop and garage air compressors
- Rebuilding the pump of a quiet (silent) oil-free compressor
- Spare part stock for maintenance engineers and repair benches
- Hobby and DIY compressor repairs
In the box:
1 x cylinder and 1 x piston ring (2 pieces per set) in the size you choose.
Note: Sizes are given as a guide to common pump ratings. Measure your old cylinder and ring and compare with the dimensions in the specifications before buying. The supplier allows for slight manual measurement deviation, and the colour may differ a little from the photos. Isolate the compressor from power and release all tank pressure before opening the pump.

Size note: Supplier allows slight manual measurement deviation. Package contents: 1 x cylinder, 1 x piston ring. Q: What does a compressor piston ring do? A: The ring seals the gap between the piston and the cylinder wall so air is squeezed and not lost past the piston. When it wears, the pump fills the tank slowly and may not reach full pressure.. Q: How do I know if my air compressor piston ring is worn? A: Common signs are slow tank fill, pressure that will not build to normal and a pump that runs for a long time. Removing the pump head and checking the ring and cylinder for wear confirms it.. Q: Is this set for oil-free compressors? A: Yes, the supplier describes it as an oil-free cylinder and piston ring set for oil-free, quiet compressor pumps.. Q: Which size do I need for a 1500W compressor? A: The 1500W option is 69 x 75 x 47.5mm and is listed as generally suitable for 1500/1600W compressors. Measure your old parts to confirm.. Q: How do I rebuild an air compressor pump? A: Disconnect power and release tank pressure, remove the pump head and cylinder, and fit a new ring and cylinder of the same size. Refit in the original order and test before putting the compressor back to work..
