Longer Pump Life

Heat can be a powerful enemy to the longevity of your air compressor pump. That’s why this NorthStar 80-Gallon Vertical Electric Air Compressor has been engineered with a W-style cylinder orientation to eliminate hotspots and provide consistent cooling, resulting in longer pump life. The pump cylinders, heads and crankcase are made of cast iron for extra-long service life. And the pump utilizes premium-quality floating-type Swedish steel valves for trouble-free performance. Thanks to this excellent technology, you can count on your NorthStar® air compressor to perform flawlessly for many years.

Powerful Leeson Electric Motors

Best-in-Class Performance

When it comes to power, the NorthStar 80-Gallon Vertical Electric Air Compressor is equipped with the best, a Leeson single-phase 230V electric motor that delivers maximum torque with the lowest possible amperage. This top-quality motor is built with all-copper windings to handle low voltage conditions and provide plenty of starting torque. Running amps are reduced by high-efficiency windings and premium flux density in the stator lamination steel. The manual reset thermal protector provides safety and prevents unwanted starts.

Longer Service Life

The durable Leeson motor runs on double sealed ball bearings, providing extended life in high moisture and dusty conditions. Bearings are lubricated with Exxon Polyrex EM grease to withstand high temperatures. Dual capacitor covers are sealed to prevent water from entering. The motor is also equipped with condensate drains to draw off harmful moisture and extend service life.
