These specialized components are engineered to securely fasten compressed air reservoirs to various surfaces. They typically consist of a combination of metal supports, straps, and fasteners designed to withstand the weight and pressure associated with the air tank. For instance, a vehicle equipped with an onboard air compressor system relies on these to affix the air tank to its chassis, preventing movement and ensuring the integrity of the system.
The use of appropriate hardware is paramount for safety and operational efficiency. Properly installed components minimize vibration-induced stress on the tank and surrounding structures, extending the lifespan of the entire system. Historically, the evolution of these attachment methods has paralleled advancements in compressed air technology, adapting to increased tank sizes and operating pressures.
