Why is my Ingersoll-Rand 5 series losing power?
- NNatalie ThompsonAug 12, 2025
If your Ingersoll-Rand Power Screwdriver is experiencing a loss of power, several factors could be responsible. First, check the air supply to ensure the air pressure is at 90 psig (6.2 bar/620 kPa) at the inlet for optimal performance. Also, the air strainer or inlet screen, muffler or exhaust silencer might be plugged and needs cleaning (or replacement if cleaning isn't effective). Other potential causes include worn or broken vanes (replace the set), a damaged rear end plate gasket (install a new one), a worn or broken cylinder (replace if cracked or scored), or improper lubrication/dirt build-up (clean and lubricate the motor unit parts).
