Description
Saylor-Beall PL-703 Bare Reciprocating Air Compressor Pump – Pressure Lubricated (Includes Flywheel)
7.5 CFM @ 175 PSI | 1.5–2 HP | Industrial Duty | Made in the USA
Compact Size. Industrial Lifespan. Built to Outlast Standard Pumps.
The Saylor-Beall PL-703 takes a proven platform and upgrades it with full pressure lubrication, giving you longer service life, better internal protection, and more reliable performance in demanding environments.
Delivering 7.5 CFM at 175 PSI of real usable air, this pump is ideal for smaller systems that still need true industrial durability—especially in applications with longer run times or frequent cycling.
Manufactured in Michigan with rugged cast iron construction and precision-machined components, the PL-703 is built to handle more than your typical light-duty pump ever could.
Why Pressure Lubrication Matters
This is where the PL-703 separates itself from standard splash-lubricated pumps.
Instead of relying on oil splash, the PL-703 uses a gear-driven oil pump system to actively deliver pressurized oil to critical internal components like the crankshaft, bearings, and connecting rods.
What That Means for You:
- Longer component life under continuous or high-hour operation
- Better lubrication in high-heat environments
- Reduced internal wear and smoother operation
- Ideal for applications where downtime is not an option
👉 Bottom line: more protection, more runtime, and a pump that lasts significantly longer.

Head Unloader Option – Simple & Clear
This pump is available with an optional Head Unloader configuration, depending on your system setup.
No Head Unloaders (Standard)
- Compressor shuts off at full pressure
- Restarts when air is needed
- Best for most standard applications
Yes – Head Unloaders (Optional Upgrade)
- Pump continues running at full pressure in an unloaded state
- Motor stays running instead of starting and stopping
- Helps reduce wear on motors and electrical components
- Ideal for frequent cycling or demanding applications
⚠️ Important
Head unloaders are designed for systems operating in continuous (unloaded) mode.
If your system currently runs start/stop, additional controls or modifications may be required.
Ideal Applications
- Automotive service and repair shops
- Machine shops and metalworking
- Light industrial and maintenance operations
- Woodworking and small production environments
- Applications needing longer run times from a compact system
