Why is my Alkin W32 making excessive noise during operation?
- O
  ortizwesleyNov 22, 2025
  Excessive noise during the Alkin Air Compressor operation can be attributed to several factors: * Loose components: Inspect and tighten any loose sheaves, flywheel, belt, belt-guard, intercooler, bolts, or accessories. * Faulty vibration mounts: Check the condition of the mounts and replace them if damaged. * Loose motor fan: Tighten the fan or replace it if damaged. * Lack of oil in the crankcase: Check for bearing damage, fill oil, and see if the noise persists. * Piston hitting the valve plate: Remove the compressor cylinder head, add a new gasket, and reassemble. * Compressor mounting loose: Tighten the mounting. * Deflected crankshaft or crankshaft bearing failure: Replace the crankshaft. * Excessive dirt or carbon on piston(s): Remove the compressor cylinder head, cl...

What causes unusual piston, ring, or cylinder wear in an Alkin W32 Air Compressor?
- C
  Cindy CurtisSep 16, 2025
  If you notice unusual piston, ring, or cylinder wear in your Alkin Air Compressor, it may be due to: * Improper oil: Replace with proper oil. * Low oil level: Check levels; check why low oil level switch did not cut out; correct fault, top up oil. * Extremely dirty ambient conditions: Pipe the intake filter to a cleaner location if possible; alternatively use a heavy duty two stage filter (consult the factory).

What causes excessive belt wear on an Alkin W32?
- R
  Ronald WilliamsSep 8, 2025
  If your Alkin Air Compressor experiences excessive belt wear, consider the following: * Sheaves misaligned: Realign the driver sheave and the flywheel. * Belts too tight: Adjust tension –the compressor has automatic tightening slides; consult factory. * Belts too loose: Adjust tension –the compressor has automatic tightening slides; consult factory. * Sheave or crankshaft wobble: Check for worn or bent crankshaft, keyway or sheave bore. * Damaged sheave/flywheel belt groove: Repair to smooth the surface or replace.
