Why choose Genuine Atlas Copco air compressor parts?

Genuine Atlas Copco Spare Parts
To keep your compressor in good shape, Atlas Copco’s genuine parts are the way to go. As they are designed specifically for your compressor, they give the reliability, long lifetime and energy efficiency you expect. 

Operating conditions play a crucial role for the lifetime of your air compressor and its components. Compressor oils and filtration parts serve as the first and most important barrier to protect the machine. That is why it is key to safeguard the performance, reliability and lifetime of your air compressors with genuine parts from Atlas Copco. Developed in-house and thoroughly tested, our genuine parts protect you from premature and avoidable compressor failures.

The risks of Non-OEM compressor parts

  • Generic specifications lead to loss in efficiency and performance
    Third-party components or installation components are not specifically designed for a particular compressor type. Rather, the cheaper alternative components must fit several machines - possibly even different manufacturers - so that production and distribution are profitable. This means that compromises have to be made in the development of these spare parts to ensure compatibility with as many machine types as possible.

  • High energy cost and risk of a breakdown
    Using replicas can result in higher pressure drops than the Genuine Atlas Copco parts; this  increases the machine's energy consumption - and in the worst case scenario, the compressor may fail altogether.

  • The purchasing price is not the only thing you pay for
    There are specific filters for almost every cleanliness class. Users should not only look at the purchase price when choosing. Criteria such as quality, efficiency, differential pressure and service life until the next service are more important.

  • Safety comprimised: Non-OEM components may lack the comprehensive qualification testing and certification protocols applied to genuine OEM parts, potentially undermining the mechanical integrity and safety of the compressor system.

How to can I check if my spare parts are genuine?

  • No labels or part numbers 
    Counterfeit spares might lack proper labels, or standard identification numbers.
  • Unusual Packaging  
    Changes in packaging are always communicated through your trusted parts supplier or local Atlas Copco representative.
  • Deviant Colors and Designs 
    Genuine Atlas Copco parts have an unique color set and design. Keep an eye out for colors or designs that seem off or are unconventional.
  • Country of Origin  
    Changes in the country of origin or production site are always communicated through your trusted parts supplier or local Atlas Copco representative.
  • Suspicious Price Discounts  
    While finding discounts is common, excessively steep reductions should raise concerns about authenticity. Remember, if a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
