What Harm Will Using Non-Original Atlas Copco Air End Cause to the Air Compressor?
Tempted to save money with a non-original air end? The hidden costs can be far greater—causing damage, downtime, and even total compressor failure.
Using a non-original Atlas Copco air end can lead to poor fit, premature wear, reduced airflow, overheating, and damage to critical compressor components like the motor and bearings.
Non-genuine air ends are not manufactured to Atlas Copco’s strict quality and precision standards. Even slight variations in rotor design, balance, or material quality can cause serious problems over time. These air ends often lack proper heat treatment, sealing surfaces, and dimensional accuracy—putting the entire system at risk.
