Reciprocating gas compressors

TP Series
Splash lubricated | Model TP60
The TP 60 is a single throw, splash lubricated
frame, especially suited for low H.P. for single
or multi-stage applications. The heavy duty
cast is frame is designed with an integral
crosshead guide and single compartment
distance piece, one piece counter weighted
ductile iron crankshaft, single piece babbit
faced crosshead and “I” Section designed
connecting rod, will give years of
dependable service.
The Crankshaft is a single piece ductile iron
casting with integral counter weights,
crossheads are one piece babbit faced.
This Simple design allows for ease of
maintenance and will give years of
dependable service.
