Quincy 273DS80VCB23

Quincy 273DS80VCB23 is the QT Pro 7.5 HP two-stage splash-lubricated piston compressor on an 80-gallon vertical ASME tank, 230V three-phase. It puts out 22.6 CFM at 175 PSI from the QT-7.5 pump running at roughly 1026 RPM. Construction is the proven Quincy two-cylinder cast-iron block with aluminum head, stainless reed valves, finned-tube intercooler, and balanced counter-weighted crankshaft. Pump life expectancy is 50,000 hours under 100 percent duty when serviced. Pro package includes magnetic starter and standard pressure switch; Max version (273D…M) adds aftercooler, auto-drain, low-oil shutdown. The 273-series is Quincy’s mid-tier 7.5 HP electric for shops that already have three-phase service. Best fit is a 3-4 bay automotive shop, a small fabrication shop, or a serious cabinet shop running multiple sanders simultaneously. Made in the USA. Sound is roughly 78-79 dBA at 1 m. The DS designation indicates the dual-stage two-cylinder arrangement specific to this pump.
