[pdf] The Micro Oil Screw Air Compressor uses two rotors (screws) that rotate in opposite directions. As the screws turn, air is drawn in and compressed. The oil injected into the system lubricates and cools the compressor element while also sealing the gap between the screws.
[pdf] After around 20,000 hours or four years of operation, screw air compressors usually require major maintenance, including bearing replacement. Long-term operation leads to internal bearing wear, causing loud noise and high temperatures. These signs indicate the need for an overhaul.
