An improved air compressor includes a cylinder fitted with a piston body and an air storage container. The cylinder and the air storage container are detachably assembled to define an air chamber. A metal seat with a through hole is provided on top of the cylinder. A valve plug is spring-biased against the metal seat. The air storage container is provided with a pressure indicator, which includes a tube defining therein a first bore and a second bore, between which a tapered annular surface is formed. When the air pressure within the air storage container exceeds a predetermined pressure set for the air compressor, the pressure indicator allows excess air to flow into the first bore of the tube and sequentially pass through the tapered annular surface and an elongated opening to be released to the ambient environment, so that objects can be prevented from damages due to excessive inflations.

A compressor system includes: a first compressor including a first casing having a cylindrical shape, and a first bundle capable of being inserted into and pulled out from the first casing in an axial direction of the first casing; and a second compressor including a second casing having a cylindrical shape, and a second bundle capable of being inserted into and pulled out from the second casing in an axial direction of the second casing. The first and second compressors are arranged to face each other to cause pullout directions of the respective bundles to be opposite to each other. A maintenance space shareable for insertion and pullout operations of the first bundle and insertion and pullout operations of the second bundle is interposed between the first bundle and the second bundle, and is available for the bundle under the insertion and pullout operations.

An actuated rotary valves for reciprocating compressors used in oil and gas industry, the valve including a stator with a stator opening, a rotor with a rotor opening, and an actuation mechanism. The actuation mechanism is configured to receive a rotation motion and to actuate the rotor to perform first an axial translation moving away from the stator and then a rotation. The actuation mechanism includes an outer shaft configured to receive the rotation motion, and an inner shaft inside the outer shaft and configured to rotate the rotor. The outer shaft is configured to rotate a predetermined angular displacement while pushing the rotor away from the stator before engaging the inner shaft to rotate together with the rotor.

The invention relates to a rotary hydraulic machine which includes a casing (2) containing pistons actuated by an input shaft, said casing having a transverse front surface provided so as to engage with a mounting, and a transverse rear surface receiving a rear cover (4) supporting collectors connected to said pistons, the casing comprising side attachment tabs (30, 40) each having an axial bore (32) ending in a rear clamping surface, provided such as to receive an element for clamping said machine to the mounting, characterised in that at least one tab forms an axially elongate pad (40), the height of which is greater than half of the length of said casing included between the front and rear surfaces thereof.

An electrical device includes two or more electrical components that configure an electrical circuit, at least one or more mechanical component that supports the two or more electrical components and is fixed to the two or more electrical components, and a position-adjustment structure that adjusts positions of the two or more electrical components relative to the one or more mechanical component with the at least two or more electrical components being united together, before the one or more mechanical component is fixed to the two or more electrical components.

A valve unit for a piston compressor includes a housing, in which at least one inlet valve and at least one outlet valve are arranged. The housing includes a first cylinder-head-side surface and a second, cylinder-side surface which is away from the first cylinder-head-side surface. The surfaces extending transversely to a longitudinal axis of the valve unit. A peripheral wall of the housing of the valve unit, and which surrounds the longitudinal axis of the valve unit, includes at least one contact section. The at least one contact section is provided for contact on a contact surface on the cylinder or on the cylinder head and extends obliquely to the longitudinal axis.

Provided is a gasket (30), which is used in a motor-driven compressor including an inverter housing, including a flat core of metal (31) and an elastic foamed material (32) so disposed as to cover both surfaces of the core (31), and the gasket (30) has embossed recesses and projections (33) with predetermined shapes. It is possible to enhance sealing performance to seal the inverter housing by using this gasket (30). A motor-driven compressor using this gasket (30) enhances vibration prevention.
