The Conrader TCI is a cable-style throttle control ("bullwhip") that links your gas-engine air compressor's pneumatic unloader system to the engine throttle. When tank pressure reaches the cut-out point, the pilot/unloader signals the TCI, which retracts its cable to drop the engine to idle; when pressure falls, the engine throttles back up to load. It's the small-body actuator sized for engines 8 HP and below.
Built in the USA from brass with Viton seals, a stainless steel spring, and a permanently lubricated, self-cleaning stainless steel cable. Mounts on the pilot valve or compressor body, with the cable end connecting to the engine throttle arm. Available in six overall cable lengths to fit your routing.

Applications
Throttle control on gasoline engine-driven reciprocating air compressors using a pneumatic pilot/unloader to switch the engine between idle and load. Choose the overall cable length that matches the distance from the pilot valve to the engine throttle arm on your unit.
The Conrader TCI cable throttle control delivers reliable idle-control automation for portable and contractor gas air compressors, reducing fuel use and engine wear by idling the engine when air isn't needed. Made in the USA with corrosion-resistant brass and stainless construction for long service life in demanding jobsite conditions.
