The complete guide

Tanabe air compressor spare parts, explained

Wattmare is a specialist Tanabe air compressor spare parts supplier serving India, the UAE, Singapore and the wider global fleet. From our base in Bhavnagar — beside the Alang ship-recycling yard — we supply genuine, OEM-equivalent and reconditioned spares for every generation of Tanabe two-stage marine main engine, dispatched worldwide in 24–48 hours.

The Tanabe lineage

The air compressors on this page are built by Tanabe Pneumatic Machinery of Japan, a marine-compressor specialist since 1936. Its H-series two-stage reciprocating compressors supply starting air and working air across the world fleet. We supply spares for all of them.

H series versus HC series versus HC series

The single most important question on any Tanabe order is whether the engine is an H series, an HC series or an HC series. The Tanabe H series is valve gear-controlled — lube-oil pump, control cam, gear drive and mechanical delivery valve gear. The HC series / HC series and the Tanabe HC series are electronically controlled, replacing the valve gear with a air-cooled supply unit, rail valves, flow-control units (FCU) and hydraulically actuated delivery valves. Liners, covers, crowns and bearings are broadly common by bore, but injection and actuation parts are entirely different — always give us your exact H series / HC series / HC series designation.

Common Tanabe compressor wear parts we stock

For every Tanabe H-series air compressor we stock cylinder liners, pistons and piston rings, connecting rods, suction and delivery valves, valve plates, crankshaft and main bearings, gaskets and unloader parts — genuine, OEM-equivalent and Alang-reconditioned.

The Alang advantage for legacy H series parts

Bhavnagar sits beside Alang, where hundreds of vessels are dismantled every year — including ships still running ageing Tanabe H series two-stage engines. That gives Wattmare direct access to genuine, low-hour parts that are slow or costly to source from distributors, at a fraction of new-part cost and lead time. For hard-to-find H series lube-oil pumps, gear drives, liners or running gear, this is the fastest source in the world. Browse our reconditioned marine spare parts range, the wider main engine spare parts category, or sister brands like MAN engine spares and Mitsubishi UEC.

How to order and what to expect

Send your Tanabe engine make and model with a photo or part number on WhatsApp, or use the quote form. We confirm availability and price — usually within the hour — and dispatch in-stock items within 24 hours. Typical air-freight transit is 12–18 hours to the UAE, 16–24 to Singapore, 20–26 to Greece and Turkey, and 28–36 to Northern Europe.

FAQ

Tanabe parts,
answered.

Do you supply Tanabe H series cylinder liners?

Yes — cylinder liners are one of our strongest Tanabe lines. We carry original-bore and reconditioned liners for the H series and H series, plus the rest of the H series range (the H series range), honed to OEM tolerance with measurement reports. Most legacy H series liners are recovered and reconditioned beside Alang.

What is the difference between Tanabe H series, HC series and HC series parts?

The Tanabe H series is a valve gear-controlled (mechanical) two-stage — lube-oil pump, control cam and mechanical delivery valve actuation. The HC series / HC series and the Tanabe HC series are electronically controlled, replacing the valve gear with a air-cooled supply unit, rail valves, flow-control units (FCU) and hydraulically actuated delivery valves. Liners, crowns and bearings are broadly similar by bore, but the delivery valve actuation parts are completely different — always quote your exact H series, HC series or HC series model.

Which Tanabe compressor models do you cover?

We cover the full Tanabe range — the H-series (H-63, H-64, H-73, H-74) and the larger HC models (H-264, H-274, H-374) — every Tanabe air compressor.

Are reconditioned Tanabe parts class-approved?

Reconditioned parts ship with inspection reports, dimensional measurements and photographs, and are accepted by class societies (Lloyd’s Register, DNV, ABS, BV, ClassNK, RINA) on survey. Genuine Tanabe parts carry full material and test certificates.

How fast can you deliver Tanabe parts to Dubai?

In-stock items dispatch within 24 hours from Bhavnagar. Typical air-freight transit to the UAE (Dubai, Jebel Ali, Fujairah) is 12–18 hours. Singapore is 16–24 hours, Greece and Turkey 20–26, and Northern Europe 28–36.

Can you supply Tanabe delivery valves and lube-oil pumps?

Yes — delivery valves, injector nozzles, high-pressure lube-oil pumps, plungers and barrels for Tanabe H series engines, plus air-cooled supply units, rail valves, flow-control units (FCU) and control equipment for HC series / HC series and HC series engines, are stocked and bench-tested before dispatch.

What is the difference between genuine, OEM-equivalent and reconditioned parts?

Genuine parts come from the original maker (Tanabe / Tanabe) with full certificates. OEM-equivalent are quality aftermarket parts at 30–50% less. Reconditioned are low-hour parts recovered from Alang, inspected and certified to OEM tolerance, at up to 70% less with a 30-day warranty.

Do you supply obsolete Tanabe H series parts no longer stocked by distributors?

Yes — obsolete Tanabe H series parts are our specialty. Beside Alang we recover low-hour lube-oil pumps, gear drives, liners, crowns and running gear from H series-powered vessels being dismantled, then inspect and certify them. For the H series range and H series engines this is often the fastest source in the world.

Do you supply Tanabe valves and overhaul kits?

Yes — suction and delivery valves, valve plates, cylinder liners, pistons, rings, bearings and complete overhaul kits for the Tanabe H-series, genuine and Alang-reconditioned.

How do I get a price for a Tanabe spare part?

Send your unit model and a photo or part number on WhatsApp (+91 96647 18068), or use the quote form. We confirm availability and price, usually within the hour — whether you need genuine, OEM-equivalent, used or reconditioned parts, or a complete overhaul kit.

Where do you ship Tanabe parts and how are they packed?

We ship from Alang/Bhavnagar to the UAE, Dubai, Singapore, Greece, Turkey and every major port worldwide in 24–48 hours. Parts are export-packed with VCI wrapping, wooden crates and palletisation, with photos shared before dispatch and full export documentation included.

Can you supply complete Tanabe overhaul kits?

Yes — servicing, top-overhaul and major-overhaul kits assembled to your exact H series, HC series / HC series or HC series model, with liners, piston rings, delivery valves, packing rings, gaskets, O-rings and fasteners included.
