The gas reciprocating compressor is a positive displacement compressor that compresses gas through the reciprocating motion of a piston inside a cylinder. It is widely used in industrial fields such as petroleum, chemical processing, natural gas, refining, fertilizer production, steel manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals.
Our company specializes in the customized production of core components for reciprocating compressors. Our main products include key components such as crankshafts, cylinder blocks, crossheads, connecting rods, piston assemblies, and valve bodies. In a reciprocating compressor, the rotational motion of the motor is converted into the reciprocating linear motion of the piston through the crank-connecting rod mechanism, achieving gas suction, compression, and discharge. In this process, the crank bears significant alternating loads, the cylinder housing provides a sealed compression chamber, the crosshead shoe ensures smooth motion transmission, the link rod links the power output, the piston accomplishes gas compression, and the valve body controls gas intake and exhaust.
We have mature processing techniques and a well-established manufacturing system, allowing us to produce customized components according to customer drawings or technical parameters. Our products are widely used in various domestic and international reciprocating compressor models, offering complete solutions from single components to core component systems.
