Saylor-Beall 1.5 HP Pressure-Lubricated Duplex Air Compressor
Maximum Protection. Industrial-Grade Endurance.
Step up to the Saylor-Beall Pressure-Lubricated Series. While splash systems rely on the movement of the connecting rods to “splash” oil, these units feature an integrated oil pump that forces filtered oil directly to critical wear points. This is the ultimate choice for high-duty cycles, extreme temperatures, and applications where equipment longevity is the primary ROI.
The Pressure-Lubricated Advantage
- Automotive-Style Oil Pump: A positive displacement oil pump ensures that even at low speeds or during startup, your bearings and bushings receive immediate, high-pressure lubrication.
- Full-Flow Oil Filter: Keep your lubricant clean. The spin-on oil filter removes contaminants before they can scar your internal components, significantly extending the time between major overhauls.
- Ideal for Heavy Duty Cycles: Because the oil is actively circulated, heat is moved away from the friction points more efficiently than in splash systems, allowing for longer continuous run times.
- Low Oil Pressure Safety: Many pressure-lubricated models can be equipped with a safety switch that shuts the unit down if oil pressure drops, protecting your investment (or at least your very expensive shop equipment) from a catastrophic seize.

Why Go Duplex with Pressure Lubrication?
By combining the redundancy of a duplex setup (two pumps/motors) with the protection of pressure lubrication, you are virtually eliminating the risk of an “air-out” event. If one pump is down for a filter change, the second pressure-lubricated pump carries the load with zero compromise in protection.
