Do air compressors have piston rings?

Many articulated-piston compressors are oil lubricated. That is, they have an oil bath that splash-lubricates the bearings and cylinder walls as the crank rotates. The pistons have rings that help keep the compressed air on top of the piston and keep the lubricating oil away from the air.

How does piston ring compressor work?

A piston ring compressor is a tool used to compress the piston rings onto a piston in order to fit the piston inside of the cylinder walls. As the piston exits the compressor, the piston rings expand out of the piston ring grooves and presses firmly against the cylinder walls of the engine.
