Piston compressors are often found in workshops and small factories where the air-demand is not too high or continuously needed. It will just start automatically when the pressure drops below the set point and will stop again when the pressure reaches its maximum set point.

Below are 5 pros when considering a piston compressor:
1. Relatively Low Maintenance Cost
2. Ability to have high pressure and high power
3. Can be located close to point‐of‐use avoiding lengthy piping runs and pressure drops
4. Durable, efficient and affordable
5. Significant product life
