Ingersoll Rand 22192728 OEM Gas Spring Belt Tensioning Device for UP6 40-50 Rotary Screw Compressors

22192728 is a gas spring belt tensioning strut. This is used when changing the belt on several models of the Ingersoll Rand rotary screw UP6 air compressors. This is an OEM part manufactured by Ingersoll Rand and was most commonly used on the UP6-40 and UP6-50 rotary compressors. These models were also sometimes referred to the Active Pegasus Belt Drive model.

The gas spring is designed to keep correct tension on the belt and should be changed anytime the belt is changed. Ingersoll rand recommends changing the gas spring and belt every 8,000 hours or every two years.

Ingersoll Rand’s patented belt tensioning system is maintenance and adjustment free – just change the gas spring and belt, no belt adjustments are required. This is non-overloading and assures long life of the motor and airend bearings due to less force on the pulleys. This helps assure compressor performance and helps facilitate a quick and easy belt replacement. No belt realignment is required.
