Ingersoll Rand 8255-101-1 is a Par-A-Matic Series Self-Feed Air Drill designed for repetitive production drilling and fixture-mounted machining where controlled spindle feed and retract movement are required. This model combines a 0.50 HP (.37 kW) pneumatic motor with a 10,000 RPM free speed and double gear reduction. The -1 configuration provides a 1-1/4 in. (32 mm) stroke, making it suitable for drilling applications that require controlled, repeatable spindle travel. The product listing identifies a 5/16 in. capacity and a 5/16 in. standard chuck.
The Par-A-Matic self-feed system uses a double-acting air piston to provide controlled forward and retract strokes. Needle-valve controls allow adjustment of the feed and retract strokes, while the adjustment screw provides infinite stroke-length settings. A built-in four-way valve permits manual or remote operation, allowing the drill to be incorporated into suitable production equipment. Ball-bearing spindle support provides precision spindle guidance, and the muffled exhaust helps provide a quieter work environment. The manufacturer specification lists 170 lb (756 N) thrust at 90 PSI, 2.3 ft³/cycle (65 L/cycle) air consumption at working speed, and a 74 dB(A) sound level.

Applications:
- Production drilling — performing repeatable drilling cycles where controlled pneumatic feed and retract movement are required.
- Fixture-mounted machining — integrating the drill into dedicated fixtures where the 1-1/4 in. stroke matches the required spindle travel.
- Secondary machining — adding controlled drilling cycles to manufacturing equipment without continuous manual feed control.
- Metalworking — drilling compatible materials within the manufacturer's material-specific capacity ratings.
- Automated drilling equipment — using the built-in four-way valve for manual or remote operation in suitable pneumatic control systems.
FAQs:
- Q: What is the free speed of the 8255-101-1?
A: The 8255-101-1 has a 10,000 RPM free speed. - Q: What does the “-1” suffix indicate?
A: The -1 configuration identifies the 1-1/4 in. (32 mm) stroke version of the 8255-101 model family. - Q: What does double gear reduction mean?
A: It identifies the double gear reduction configuration used in the spindle drive of this 10,000 RPM model. - Q: What is the motor power?
A: The 8255-101-1 uses a 0.50 HP (.37 kW) pneumatic motor. The supplied product title shows “.05 HP,” but the manufacturer and product specifications identify the correct rating as 0.50 HP. - Q: What is the standard chuck capacity?
A: The standard chuck capacity is 5/16 in. (7.9 mm). - Q: How much thrust does this drill provide?
A: The manufacturer specifies 170 lb (756 N) thrust at 90 PSI. - Q: What is the air consumption?
A: Air consumption is 2.3 ft³/cycle (65 L/cycle) at working speed. - Q: Can the 8255-101-1 be operated remotely?
A: Yes. The built-in four-way valve permits both manual and remote operation. - Q: What are the material-specific nominal drilling capacities?
A: The manufacturer table lists 1/32 in. (0.8 mm) in SAE 1213 steel, 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) in 2024-T4 aluminum, and 5/32 in. (4.0 mm) in wood, medium or FRP. No Type 304 stainless-steel capacity is listed for the 8255-101 family.
