For the purpose of increasing compressed air pressure higher than 30bar lightening weight and decreasing installation area of air compressor used for shipboard and industrial power plant it is necessary to arrange its cylinders as a w-type or v-type construction multi-stage compression pro-cess more than two stages and to increase its operation speed higher than 1200rpm In this recip-rocating type air compressor operated in high speed having a crank mechanism and complicate cylinder arrangement there is a vibration problems which can be solved by balancing its recipro-cating parts with balance weight and approriate arranging of cylinder's arrangement angles.
