Ingersoll-Rand SS5 bare air compressor pump is used in automotive repair shops, manufacturing plants and construction sites. It efficiently converts power into potential energy stored as pressurised air, facilitating numerous pneumatic tools and machinery.
Working Mechanism:
- Air is drawn into the cylinder through an inlet valve during the suction stroke.
- The piston moves upward, compressing the air within the cylinder.
- The compressed air is discharged through the outlet valve during the compression stroke.
- A continuous oil splash lubrication system ensures smooth operation and minimises wear.
- The flywheel aids in maintaining rotational momentum for consistent compression.
Features:
- It offers splash lubrication for efficient operations.
- This Ingersoll Rand SS5 pump comes with a flywheel for enhanced performance.
- It features a cast iron construction for long-term reliability.
- This Ingersoll Rand SS5 pump is equipped with a section A groove for improved efficiency.
- It is integrated with a stainless steel finger valve for enhanced durability.
- This Ingersoll Rand model SS5 features an NPT outlet connection type for convenient attachment to systems.
Compatible Accessories:
- Ingersol Rand 38440228 Coolant: This coolant is used for the proper operation of the air compressor and is ideal for maintenance of the pump.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is the function of a finger valve?
A. The direction of the finger valve determines if the valve is open or closed (the shut-to-open direction is counterclockwise) for controlling the flow of fluid or gas.
Q. What is the pump made of?
A. Ingersoll-Rand SS5 pump offers 100 percent cast iron construction for excellent durability in tough environments.
Q. What is splash lubrication in an air compressor?
A. The pump uses a dipper (filled with oil) fastened to the connecting rod. As the pump operates, the oil is splashed upon the moving components for smooth operation. This technique eliminates the need for an oil pump and is easy to maintain.
Q. How do I clean and maintain Ingersoll Rand SS5 air compressor pump?
A.
- Regularly inspect for oil leaks and tighten any loose connections.
- Clean the exterior with a damp cloth, ensuring it's dry before use.
- Replace the air filter as recommended by the manufacturer.
- Check the oil level and quality routinely, refilling or changing as necessary.
- Monitor the compressor's temperature and ensure proper ventilation.
Q. What factors should I consider while choosing a air compressor pump?
A.
- Required air pressure and volume.
- Type of power source available.
- Duty cycle and intended usage.
- Portability and space constraints.
- Maintenance requirements and costs.
Q. Does Raptor Supplies offer other 2-stage air compressor pumps from Ingersoll Rand?
A. Yes, customers looking for other 2-stage air compressor pumps can opt for TS5 bare pump that fits onto a vertical air cylinder and is connected to a 5hp motor for continuous electric-driven compressing. This pump features 2-stage removable cylinders with 360-degree radial fins, along with copper-finned intercoolers for reduced internal heating and enhanced efficiency. This reciprocating pump's cylinder is attached to a one-piece connecting rod and the crankshaft for easy maintenance and service. You can also opt for Ingersoll Rand 2340 air compressor pump, that boasts an inlet air filter, safeguarding it from contaminants. It comes with 2-stage cylinders that deliver 14 CFM at a maximum pressure rating of 175 psi. This pump is equipped with an oil fill port that offers splash lubrication to keep the internal components well-lubricated. It has a 0.5-inch NPT outlet for efficient air delivery and features cast iron construction with a finger valve for durability and volumetric efficiency.
