Air compressor switches are a vital part of any air compressor for industrial or commercial use. The switches help regulate the operation of the unit, such as by turning the unit on and off or regulating the particular operation of specific compression heads.

Perhaps there is no greater role for dental air compressor switches than in the use of dental air compressors. Dental air compressors are necessary to help power many dental equipment pieces, including cleaners, vacuums, and dental cutting tools.

While many dental businesses use traditional small air compressors to power their equipment, many dental offices can benefit from the use of a new style of switches that air compressor manufacturers have created specifically for use in dental offices. These new compressors help maintain the necessary quality and air pressure level required in dental work while providing many other benefits, such as:

Quieter operation: New dental air compressors use rocking pistons which helps the unit operate at a quieter level than before. This can help a dentist perform his or her tasks without having to compete with the volume of a loud compressor, which can lead to better dental service overall.

High peak airflow: The design of the new compressors facilitates the steady flow of air through the compressor. This keeps the air pressure level steady and operating at 100 percent, which is vital for the control of delicate dental instruments.

Smart control platforms: A smart control platform contains many different switches to control different aspects of the compressor, such as cycling controls, head isolation, current sensing, and alerts for maintenance and battery life.

Standard control platforms: The standard control platform allows the dentist to control the unit using basic pressure switches, controlling such features as switches to turn on select compressor heads and contractor arrangement switches to control compressor cycling.
