Atlas Copco designed the C106 OMCO 1616738791 Air End specifically for its AQ15 to AQ30 series of oil-free, water-injected rotary screw compressors. This genuine air end plays a crucial role in delivering high-purity compressed air while maintaining maximum efficiency and reliability.
Engineers at Atlas Copco built the 1616738791 to meet ISO 8573-1 Class 0 standards, ensuring absolutely oil-free air for industries that demand the highest air quality — such as food and beverage, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and medical applications.

Peak Performance
Atlas Copco’s engineering team equipped the C106 OMCO air end with a high-precision aluminum alloy housing and water-injected ceramic-coated rotors. This setup reduces friction, maintains a stable compression temperature, and prolongs the life of the internal components.
Water injection enables near-isothermal compression, which allows the AQ compressor to deliver consistent output at lower energy costs. The 1616738791 model serves as the drive-end element, typically working in tandem with 1616738781 (non-drive end) in multi-stage designs.
