Part #: ATEMPAF7-FPD

MFR #: ATEMPAF7-FPD

Enhanced Commercial Air Compression with Magnetic Control

The Atlas Air Force AF7 builds on proven compressor design with a key enhancement: a professional-grade magnetic starter that controls electrical input and extends equipment lifespan. Running at 220V/1PH with low RPM technology, this 5HP compressor requires a 30 amp breaker and #10 wire, delivering consistent, controlled power delivery.

Matched Pump & Tank Performance

The AF7 features an identical 3-cylinder, 2-stage cast iron reciprocating pump paired with an 80-gallon vertical tank manufactured in the USA. Operating at 145-175 PSI, the compressor delivers 18.5 CFM at 145PSI and 14.5 CFM at 175PSI. The 1/2" NPT air outlet with included ball valve provides straightforward connection to shop air systems.

Durability Through Technology & Design

The magnetic starter automatically manages electrical load, reducing inrush current and mechanical stress on the motor. This technology adds years to compressor lifespan compared to direct-start systems. The AF7 incorporates vibro-isolation pads for quiet operation, a finned tank inlet tube to reduce water accumulation, hands-free tank drain extension, and a heavy-duty metal belt guard. At 485 lbs, it measures 36"L × 24"W × 69"H.

The Magnetic Starter Advantage

Low RPM motor technology combined with the magnetic starter means smoother operation, reduced electrical demand on your facility, and enhanced reliability. This makes the AF7 ideal for shops that depend on their compressor for daily operations.

Support & Warranty

The AF7 comes with a 1-year parts-only warranty and represents the ideal balance of features and affordability for growing commercial operations.
