More Power, Less Noise—Atlas AF8 5HP Low-RPM Air Compressor

 

Shopping for an air compressor that’s actually built to last can be frustrating, especially when you’re dealing with loud units, weak PSI output, or short lifespans. A lot of lower-end portable air compressors just aren’t made to keep up with a shop that runs hard all day. That’s why Atlas designed the Air Force AF8: a commercial-grade 80-gallon air compressor built specifically for serious shop owners who need power, dependability, and quiet operation all in one.

The Atlas AF8 is powered by a robust 5HP low-RPM motor and features a 2-stage, 2-cylinder cast iron pump that delivers 20 CFM at 145 PSI and 19 CFM at 175 PSI. It runs between 145–175 PSI consistently, making it ideal for everything from sanding and grinding to running impact tools. The 80-gallon vertical tank is made right here in the USA, helping you save shop space without compromising air volume.

What really makes this model stand out is the smart design. You get a magnetic starter to protect the motor and extend lifespan, a hands-free tank drain for easy maintenance, and vibration isolator pads to keep things quiet. Whether you’re a one-person garage planning for growth or running a full 3–4 man operation, the Atlas Equipment Air Force AF8 air compressor is designed to keep up—and then some.

Not sure this is the one? We offer a wide variety of Air Compressors for every application.
