The Atlas Air Force AF7 is our entry level commercial grade two-stage vertical air compressor — and for shops and serious enthusiasts stepping up to true commercial grade compressed air performance, the AF7 represents an outstanding entry point that delivers far more capability than its price tag suggests.

This unit operates between 140 and 175 PSI, putting it firmly in the range required for the most demanding shop air tools, paint spraying equipment, sandblast cabinets, and pneumatic lifts. The combination of the commercial grade low RPM motor and the heavy duty 3-cylinder cast iron reciprocating air compressor pump — featuring 2 low pressure cylinders and 1 high pressure cylinder — delivers an incredible amount of air volume and air pressure for a very low price. The two-stage compression design is what separates true commercial grade compressors from entry level single-stage units, allowing the AF7 to build and maintain higher pressures more efficiently and with significantly less wear on the pump over time.

The AF7 comes standard with a USA made 80 gallon steel tank, providing ample air storage capacity to power multiple tools simultaneously or handle high-demand applications without pressure drop. The AF7 also includes a magnetic starter, which controls the electric input and adds to the longevity of the unit — a feature more commonly found on higher priced commercial compressors that speaks to the exceptional value Atlas has packed into the AF7.

The Atlas Air Force air compressors are powerful, belt driven reciprocating air compressors designed and built to offer years of trouble-free service. Belt driven technology is the preferred choice of professional shops worldwide, offering quieter operation, cooler running temperatures, and significantly longer pump life compared to direct drive alternatives. The Atlas Air Force shop compressors are built to the same exacting standards as the entire line of Atlas professional grade automotive equipment — the same commitment to quality and durability that Atlas customers have come to trust across lifts, tire changers, wheel balancers, and beyond.

If you're searching for a commercial grade two-stage air compressor, an 80 gallon vertical shop compressor, or a high PSI belt driven air compressor capable of powering your most demanding shop equipment, the Atlas Air Force AF7 delivers commercial grade performance at a price that makes it one of the best values in its class. Step up to the AF7 and experience the difference that true commercial grade compressed air makes in your shop every single day.
