Air Blow Guns

About Air Blow Guns

Air blow guns attach to air lines for the manual actuation and/or control of air discharge. They are used primarily for debris removal and purging, non-contact part cleaning and drying, and general laboratory or industrial applications. Most air blow guns are made of plastic or metal and include an ergonomic grip or handle. A steady stream of compressed air is delivered through a sturdy metallic nozzle. Air blow guns that are equipped with an internal fail-safe pressure mechanism shut off automatically if the gun is dropped or the lip is blocked. Integral pressure relief valves are used to blow off excess pressure before discharge. In the United States, products that meet or exceed standards from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) are commonly available. Typically, manufacturers indicate whether products are suitable for high volume applications, or include a threaded discharge port or vacuum attachment.


Products & Services Related to Air Blow Guns

Air Compressor Parts
Air compressor parts are used in air compressors and replaced due to wear and usage. This product area include air compressor motors, filters, pumps, valves, pressure regulators, breathers, and other accessories.
Air Compressors
Air compressors are machines that compress air to higher than atmospheric pressures for delivery to pneumatic or robotic tools, industrial equipment, or direct-use applications.
Air Hose
Air hose is used in pneumatic systems and controls, or as supply lines for pneumatic devices and tools.
Air Pressure Regulators
Air pressure regulators control pressure in air lines (usually adjustable) to remove fluctuations and maintain consistent pressure for pneumatic devices.
Industrial Hose
Industrial hose covers the broad spectrum of fluid transfer lines. Hose is usually flexible, often reinforced, and available in a wide range of material compositions to cover various hydraulic and pneumatic industrial applications.
Pressure Intensifiers
Pressure intensifiers are pressure-increasing devices used to raise the pressure of hydraulic or pneumatic fluids. They differ from pumps in that they can only increase the pressure of a normally pressurized fluid.
Rubber Tubing
Rubber tubing is used in flow lines for fluids and gases in a variety of hydraulic, pneumatic, process, medical, and specialty applications.
Tubing
Tubing is used to transport fluid and gas in pneumatic, hydraulic, or process applications. Tubing differs from pipe in that tubing's outside diameter or size is controlled and used for product designation.
