The Atlas® Air Force MPAF5 is a professional-grade 5 horsepower single-stage air compressor featuring a robust 60-gallon vertical tank made in the USA. Engineered with an oversized 3-cylinder cast iron reciprocating pump, this belt-driven compressor delivers impressive airflow with 18 CFM at 90 PSI and operates between 90-125 PSI. Designed for busy automotive shops and garages that demand reliable, continuous air supply, the MPAF5 combines powerful performance with exceptionally quiet operation and thoughtful features like vibration dampening pads, hands-free tank drain extension, and a finned inlet tube that reduces water accumulation inside the tank.
The Atlas® Air Force AF5 is engineered to provide powerful, consistent airflow for demanding shop tasks. This is the entry-level air compressor in the Atlas® lineup capable of producing sufficient PSI to operate equipment like the Atlas® SBC420 sandblast cabinet for short periods of time. While the AF5 can power this entry-level sandblast cabinet, it does not produce enough continuous air volume to run the sandblast cabinet for extended periods. For customers who need to operate any of the Atlas® sandblast cabinets correctly and efficiently for longer sessions, we recommend stepping up to the Atlas® AF6 or larger air compressor models.
The MPAF5 operates at pressure settings between 90 and 125 PSI, making it versatile for a wide range of shop air tools. Its oversized 3-cylinder cast iron reciprocating pump delivers a large volume of air at a very competitive price point, making this an exceptional value for shops that need reliable compressed air without breaking the budget.
The Atlas® Air Force compressor line is built on a foundation of quality and durability. These powerful, belt-driven reciprocating air compressors are designed and manufactured to offer years of trouble-free service in professional environments. Every Atlas® Air Force shop compressor is built to the same exacting standards as the entire line of Atlas® professional-grade automotive equipment, ensuring consistent performance and reliability you can count on day after day.
Built to Atlas® Automotive Equipment standards, the MPAF5 features a 1-stage reciprocating pump configuration that balances performance with efficiency. The vertical design with dimensions of 28" L x 18" W x 68" H provides a compact footprint while maximizing tank capacity. At 400 lbs shipping weight, this is a substantial piece of equipment built for stability and durability in professional shop environments.
The compressor includes a ½" NPT air outlet for easy connection to your shop air system. The heavy-duty metal belt guard protects the drive components while the included vibration dampening pads minimize noise transmission to the floor. Additional convenience features like the hands-free tank drain extension and oil drain extension tube make routine maintenance faster and cleaner. The innovative finned tank inlet tube helps reduce water accumulation inside the tank by cooling incoming air, extending the life of your tank and improving air quality.
