About Air-air pressure multipliers (boosters)

An air to air pressure booster raises the available supply pressure by a fixed ratio and so provides the working pressure a single actuator needs, without running the whole system higher. The boosters take an input pressure up to 10 bar and come with piston diameters of 40 and 63 mm. The group also holds compressed air receivers with 2 x G 1/2 female rated to 11 bar as well as seal sets.

What matters when choosing

• Thread: G 1/8 or G 3/8 on the boosters, 2 x G 1/2 female on the receivers. The smaller port belongs to the 40 mm piston, the larger one to 63 mm.
• Piston diameter: 40 or 63 mm. It sets the air delivered per stroke and therefore how much consumption the outlet can cover.
• Version with or without controller: items with a controller are rated PA max. 16 bar, those without PA max. 20 bar. Both work at a 2:1 ratio with an input pressure of 2 to 10 bar.
• Receiver volume: 1, 2.5, 5, 7 or 12 litres. A receiver downstream of the booster buffers the boosted air and covers short peaks.
• Housing: anodised aluminium or plastic coated steel (FeP04).

Typical applications

• Clamping cylinders and presses that need more pressure than the network supplies
• Individual consumers where raising the compressor setting is not worthwhile
• Test rigs running at an increased test pressure
• Systems with short peak demand, buffered by one of the receivers in this group
• Servicing existing pressure boosters with the matching seal sets

The compressed air receivers in this group are compact steel vessels built to EU directive 2014/68/EU. The 13 items come from Italy and the Netherlands.
