Superior Design for Industry-Leading Pumps

Low Vibration and Durability

The last thing you want to worry about is your compressor breaking down in the middle of a job. The NorthStar® 2-Cylinder Air Compressor Pump has been engineered with superior technology to keep you working without interruption. Innovative Low Vibration Technology (LVT) gives you a dynamically balanced pump for smooth operation and long service life. Bearings are placed on both ends of the pump's crankshaft for superior support and less wear and tear. The result is reliable, dependable operation of your NorthStar® air compressor pump, year after year.

Longer Pump Life

Heat can be a powerful enemy to the longevity of your air compressor pump. That's why this NorthStar® 2-Cylinder Air Compressor Pump has been engineered with a V-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 pump to perform flawlessly for many years.

Sort by:

  1. what is the rotation of the pump clock wise are counter

    1. Looking at the pump with the flywheel end directly in front of you, the rotation is counter-clockwise.

      Helpful?

    2. The fly wheel on this pump must spin counter clockwise.

      Helpful?

  2. What is the outlet fitting type and size?

    I am putting this on a tank that has a 1/2 inch compression fitting inlet.

    1. The outlet fitting is a 5/8 compression fitting. I had the same issue, and used a 5/8 to 1/2 reduction fitting to reach the tank's check valve. I was unable to find a check valve that had the same tank threads with a 5/8 inlet. I didn't have any performance issues

      Helpful?

    2. This pump uses a 5/8" compression fitting on the outlet.

      Helpful?

  3. What is the RPM?

    1. Max is 1396 rpm

      Helpful?

    2. The maximum pump RPM on this compressor pump is 1396.

      Helpful?

  4. What size is the shaft at the flywheel?

    1. I didn't measure mine it is tapered

      Helpful?

    2. This air compressor pump has a tapered shaft that is unique to the flywheel that comes with the pump.

  7. How long is the manufactures warranty? 

    1 answer

    1. This will come with a 12 month parts and labor warranty.

      Helpful?

  8. This compressor is rated at a max of 130 psi, what's stops it from building over that?

    1 answer

    1. There are typically two types of control systems depending on if the prime mover is a gas/diesel engine or electric motor. For an electric motor, the device that limits the maximum pressure is a pressure switch. It is plumbed into the compressor air tank to sense tank pressure and will cut electrical power to the electric motor when the maximum pressure is achieved. For a gas/diesel engine, the device that limits the maximum pressure is called a Pilot Valve. Since gas/diesel engines cannot typically be automatically started and stopped, the pilot valve simply diverts the air flow from the compressor pump into either the tank or the atmosphere. It is also plumbed into the compressor air tank. When below the maximum pressure, air is added into the tank. When the maximum pressure is reached, it stops adding air to the tank and instead sends the air to the atmosphere.

      Helpful?

  9. What are the mounting holes measurements?

    1 answer

    1. The bolt pattern is 8.425 inches wide and 4.724 inches front to back. The bolt holes are 0.374 inches.

      Helpful?

  10. What size pulley is required for the electric motor?

    1 answer

    1. To determine the motor pulley diameter, use the below equation.

      Pump RPM (1396) x Flywheel diameter (10.5) divided by the RPM of the motor would equal the the pulley diameter.
