Supersedes ATAF6
The Atlas® Air Force AF6 (MPAF6) delivers commercial-grade performance in an entry-level package that's perfectly suited for demanding shop environments. Featuring a 5HP motor paired with a robust 3-cylinder, 2-stage cast iron pump, this 80-gallon vertical compressor is engineered to provide the high-volume, high-pressure air output professional technicians rely on—without the premium price tag.
Operating at pressures ranging from 90 to 175 PSI, the MPAF6 is fully capable of running intensive applications including Atlas® sandblast cabinets when used with medium or medium-fine glass bead media. The combination of a low-RPM belt-driven motor and a heavy-duty reciprocating pump (featuring 2 low-pressure cylinders and 1 high-pressure cylinder) ensures exceptional air delivery with extremely quiet operation—a rare find in compressors of this power class.
Built to the same exacting standards as the entire line of Atlas® professional-grade automotive equipment, the Air Force AF6 is designed and built to offer years of trouble-free service. Whether you're operating tire changers, lifts, pneumatic tools, or air-powered accessories, this compressor provides the dependable air supply your shop demands day after day.
The Atlas® MPAF6 is engineered with professional shops in mind. The heavy-duty metal belt guard protects critical drive components while allowing for easy inspection and maintenance. The 2-stage pump design maximizes efficiency and extends pump life by reducing heat buildup and wear. Meanwhile, the finned tank inlet tube helps cool incoming air, reducing moisture accumulation inside the tank—critical for maintaining air quality and preventing rust.
Convenience features like the hands-free tank drain extension and compressor oil drain extension tube make routine maintenance faster and cleaner, ensuring your compressor stays in peak operating condition with minimal downtime. The included set of vibro-isolation pads not only reduces operational noise but also minimizes vibration transfer to the floor—essential for maintaining a comfortable and professional work environment.
Designed to run on 220V single-phase power (requires a 30-amp breaker), this compressor integrates seamlessly into most shop electrical systems. The ½" NPT air outlet provides a standard connection point for your air distribution system, and the adjustable 90-175 PSI pressure setting gives you the flexibility to match air pressure to the specific demands of your tools and equipment.
Every Atlas® Air Force compressor is built to the same rigorous standards that define the entire Atlas® professional-grade automotive equipment lineup. With a 1-year parts-only warranty and comprehensive installation manual, you can purchase with confidence knowing you're investing in equipment engineered for years of reliable performance.
