Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a belt-drive and direct-drive compressor?
Belt-driven air compressors use a belt that connects the air pump to the motor. They use pulleys to transfer power – providing more control and flexibility. A direct-drive air compressor, on the other hand, has a motor connected to the air pump and doesn’t use pulleys. The motor’s speed directly connects with the compressor’s. Admittedly, direct-drive air compressors have a more straightforward design and are tolerant to harsh environments. However, they’re not the best choice for all applications. For instance, if a direct-drive compressor becomes damaged, it will be expensive to repair. These can also be noisy to operate. Which is why, if you’re looking for a system that operates quietly, a belt-driven air compressor is ideal. With the appropriate maintenance and lubrication, it’ll operate much quieter. For more information about the different types of air compressors, get in touch with the team today.
Is a belt-driven air compressor right for me?
Deciding whether to invest in a belt-driven air compressor can be tricky, especially when there are so many factors to consider. However, the team at Kendal Tools will happily assist you in making an informed decision. One of the biggest benefits of belt-drive air compressors is that they are flexible. You can easily change the pressure or speed by adjusting or replacing the pulleys. Their flexibility also makes them an excellent choice for auto repairs and woodworking shops that often require quick pressure adjustments. Something else worth noting about belt-driven air compressors is that they’re much simpler to maintain than other models on the market. To keep your compressor in working order, all you need to do is change the filters and oil and have the belt tension checked and lubricated regularly. Keeping your air compressor well-maintained will increase its lifespan and help it to perform more quietly – ensuring fewer disturbances.

How do belt-driven air compressors work?
The way a belt-drive air compressor works is simple. These systems consist of a belt that is connected to the motor of the compressor pump. When you turn the machine on, the belt starts to turn and powers the pump through the pulley system to the air compressor. With belt-driven air compressors, you can adjust the pressure to suit the job and your tools. For example, if your pneumatic tools require 90 psi and your compressor reaches a maximum of 80 psi, all you need to do is replace the pulley to increase the system’s output. Experts believe that a properly lubricated and maintained belt-drive compressor will run smoother than a direct-drive system. However, these belts are subject to wear and tear, meaning you will need to repair and replace them to ensure they function efficiently.

Are belt-driven air compressors expensive?
The price you’ll pay for a belt-driven air compressor can vary – but, the good news is, they are typically cheaper to purchase than their direct-drive counterparts. Although belt-driven systems are not maintenance-free, and their parts are prone to wear and tear, repairs are often more affordable than those required for a direct-drive compressor. Another great thing about belt-drive air compressors is that they are nowhere near as noisy. They facilitate silent operation, making them perfect for a variety of environments – including offices, laboratories, surgeries, workshops, etc. To find out how much a belt-driven air compressor will cost you, scroll through the options available and click on the ones that best suit your requirements.
