Why is my Ingersoll-Rand Tools having low power?
- KKevin FloresAug 11, 2025
If your Ingersoll-Rand Tools are experiencing low power or low free speed, several factors could be the cause. Begin by checking the air pressure at the inlet, ensuring it does not exceed 90 psig (6.2 bar/620 kPa). A plugged screen can also restrict performance; clean it with a suitable cleaning solution, or replace it if necessary. Remember to always use a grinder with an inlet screen to prevent dirt ingestion. Other potential issues include worn or broken vanes or a worn or broken cylinder, which would require replacement. Finally, improper lubrication or dirt build-up in the motor can lead to reduced power; lubricate the grinder as instructed, and if the problem persists, disassemble the motor for inspection and cleaning.
