Champion Base-Mounted R-Series Piston Air Compressor

CHAMPION R-SERIES BASE MOUNT SIMPLEX AIR COMPRESSORS

Champion R-Series Base Mount Simplex Reciprocating Air Compressors deliver dependable, two-stage compressed air.

R-Series engineering you can feel

• Multi-finned cylinders to help run cooler
• Integral cylinder/head design aimed at reducing head-gasket failures
• Disc-type valves designed for long service and easy servicing by removing manifolds
• Tapered roller main bearings + balanced crankshaft for smooth operation
• Loadless starting so the compressor starts unloaded every time

Standard features (no fluff)

• Load-less starting via centrifugal unloader
• ASME inter-stage pressure relief valve
• ODP NEMA 1760 RPM electric motor
• 10-micron industrial grade intake filtration
• ASME / NB certified receiver + 0–300 PSIG tank pressure gauge
• Common single-phase and three-phase voltage options

Upgrade paths that improve air quality and uptime

1. Air-cooled aftercooler – reduces up to 65% of moisture from discharged compressed air
2. Refrigerated drying – cools air to roughly a 33–39° dew point to reduce downstream condensation
3. Automatic electric tank drain – timed draining to discharge receiver moisture automatically
4. Low oil-stop control – protects the unit if oil level drops
5. Dual control – run start/stop or constant speed mode
6. Electrical & motor upgrades – NEMA 4 starter and TEFC motor options for harsher environments

Pressure options for real applications

R-Series packages are commonly configured for higher-pressure shop air, and an 80 PSI setting is also available across the line for dedicated low-pressure uses like climate control.

Lubrication, warranty, and support

Champion ChampLub lubricants (mineral, synthetic, food-grade) are made specifically for compressor environments. R-Series packages are backed by a strong warranty program, with optional premium coverage, and supported by a broad distributor network.
