Air tool parts & accessories

Air tool accessories ensure smooth operation of air tools, and are often sold at low price. They will be required for planned maintenance of the equipment and for replacement of defective components.

Types of air tool accessories

For stable air supply to the devices to be actuated, the following is required:

• outlet filters that clean air from impurities;
• accessories for hose ducts: air outlets and inlets, baffles and their sets.

Certain consumables are offered for various pneumatic tools. For example, for a metal nibbler, one can purchase replacement blades online, for a nut runner — the body, cylinders, switch levers. Belt sanders require periodic installation of new rollers (drums) and sanding belts, eccentric sanders — bags for dust collection. For air screwdrivers, popular products  are:

• Spacing plates. They ensure the required clearance between the mating elements.
• Crankshaft. It converts applied force into torque.
• Grease pumps. They supply lubricant to the components of the tool.
• Rotor. It ensures rotational movement of the chuck.
• Toothed rim. It is part of the mechanism that reduces rotational speed of the rotor.
• Square. It is used for attaching drive sockets.
• Muffler. It reduces the noise during operation.
• A shock tester, as well as a guide tube and basket for it. It is used to test new tools and tools after repair.

Parts catalogues also contain various repair kits, for example, for a ratcheting air screwdriver and metal nibblers. Such kits may include sleeves, nuts, bearings, bolts, rotor blades, springs, pins, gaskets and many more.

Tips on using air tool accessories

1. Replace the lubricant of air tools in time; this will prolong their service life.
2. Do not replace spare parts with the equipment switched on.
3. Remember that accessories should be protected from acids, alkalis, abrasive substances, moisture, high and low temperatures. Store equipment and accessories in a dry heated room with good ventilation.
