Single-phase Induction Electric Motor 2 HP

The motor of the Electric Air Compressor Michelin MB 50/268 MC is one of the key aspects that ensures its good performance and durability over time.
It is an electric motor of 2 HP (1.5 kW), providing adequate power for long-lasting operations.
Thanks to the 2-cylinder technology, the motor allows for effective and consistent air compression, minimizing vibrations and improving the compressor's stability during operation.

The compressor is oil-lubricated, ensuring smoother and quieter operation compared to non-lubricated motors.

The rotation speed of 1240 rpm helps keep the compressor running without excessive strain, ensuring quiet operation and greater reliability.
Additionally, the belt transmission reduces friction and generated heat, improving energy efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

The reliability of the electric motor allows reaching the maximum pressure of 10 bar with an air delivery of 250 l/min, features that allow the compressor to be used for a wide range of applications, from painting to pneumatic tool maintenance.

Head

Air intake production: 250 lt/min
Head type: twin-cylinder with cast iron cylinders
Intake type: single-stage
Lubrication: oil
Number of revolutions: 1240 rpm

The level of professionalism and more generally the durability of the compressor is largely determined by the number of revolutions per minute of the head.

The lower the number of revolutions, the longer the compressor will last in the long term.
The reduction in the number of revolutions is achieved through pulleys of different diameters applied respectively to the motor and the head.

Belt Transmission

The belt transmission is a feature that characterizes these Michelin compressors.

The use of the belt, combined with an induction motor, contributes to the longevity of this compressor, drastically reducing the number of revolutions of the head, increasing its lifespan and reducing wear.

The grid protection serves to preserve the belt and transmission from any external objects that, by hitting it, could damage it during operation. It also allows you to always keep the belt's condition under control.

Bolted Motor–Pump Assembly Connection

In this model, the link between the pump assembly and the tank is not welded but secured using a heavy-duty bolted system.
This design solution, typical of higher-end compressors, has been developed to provide:

Increased durability over time: the bolted mechanical joint helps prevent micro-cracks and structural failures that can affect welded joints when exposed to vibration or high pressures.
Simplified maintenance: the connection can be disassembled swiftly, facilitating inspection, cleaning and replacement of parts.
Improved operational stability: the bolted connection ensures a stronger and more durable coupling, particularly beneficial for compressors subjected to heavy-duty use.

Overall, this configuration results in a compressor that is more reliable, more durable and easier to maintain.
