- A complete package engineered to run in ambient temperatures up to 46°C / 115°F
-
VSD models with gradual start-up to reduce stress on key components and lower starting current
If your shop depends on compressed air for production, fabrication, automotive work, or general maintenance, reliability isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of profitability.
Top Performance
The G 2–7 series delivers smooth, consistent compressed air with the efficiency rotary screw compressors are known for. These compressors are built to support real working environments where stable pressure and low noise matter.
Performance highlights:
-
Quiet operation supported by a belt-driven design that helps keep vibration low
- Consistent airflow delivery for day-to-day tool and equipment demands
-
G 2–7 VSD models that help maintain more stable pressure as demand changes
Full Feature versions add built-in air treatment in a compact package, which can help protect tools, improve process quality, and reduce moisture-related issues in air lines.
State of the art connectivity
Modern compressed air systems shouldn’t be a mystery. The G 2–7 series brings smarter control and monitoring so you can stay on top of performance, efficiency, and uptime.
Connectivity and control benefits include:
- Bluetooth-enabled monitoring on supported controls for convenient access
- Visibility into critical operating data like pressure, temperature, running hours, and operating mode
- Smart control features such as Delayed Second Stop to support efficiency and reliability
- Built-in tools like leakage detection to uncover wasted energy in your compressed air system
- Notifications that help you respond quickly and avoid surprise downtime
This kind of visibility is especially valuable for small businesses that can’t afford to lose a day of production because a compressor issue went unnoticed.
Easy Installation and Maintenance
The G 2–7 series is designed to fit where you need it and stay easy to own over the long haul. Its compact footprint and flexible configurations make it a strong choice for shops where space is limited and service time needs to stay minimal.

- Filters and separators are designed to be reachable without unnecessary disassembly
- Service tasks are streamlined to help reduce downtime and keep operating costs predictable
Robust and Efficient Compression Element
At the heart of every G 2–7 compressor is Atlas Copco’s proven rotary screw compression element—built to deliver strong free air delivery with dependable, long-term performance.
Why the compression element matters:
- Efficient air compression that helps reduce energy consumption over time
- Reliable design built for steady performance across long operating hours
- High-quality engineering that supports low total cost of ownership
Because the compression element is the core of the machine, a well-designed element is one of the biggest reasons rotary screw compressors outperform piston compressors in demanding, everyday use.

Configuration Options
The G 2–7 series is available in setups that let you choose the balance of footprint, air quality, and storage capacity that makes sense for your shop.
Common configuration choices include:
-
Pack (no dryer): ideal when you already have air treatment or your application doesn’t require dry air
-
Full Feature (integrated dryer): a compact all-in-one option to help reduce moisture in the air system
-
Tank-mounted packages: combine compressor and receiver tank for a clean, integrated footprint
Ideal Applications
The Atlas Copco G 2–7 series is a strong fit for:
