ABAC AB5-2180VQP

ABAC AB5-2180VQP is a 5 HP two-stage splash-lubricated reciprocating air compressor delivering 16.6 SCFM at 175 PSI on an 80-gallon vertical tank. Wired for 230 V single-phase, this simplex unit weighs 527 lbs and is priced at approximately $4,912. The larger 80-gallon receiver relative to the 5 HP motor provides extended run times and reduced cycle frequency, making it well-suited for body shops and small manufacturing cells with intermittent air demand. Two-stage cast-iron piston construction extends pump longevity under sustained load. Key gaps: duty-cycle percentage and OEM primary-source datasheet not yet located.
