Description
The 3001170210 is the Atlas Copco Tip Seal Set for the ATSL-165E, the oil-free scroll air end of the 3.7 kW / 8 bar scroll machines. The official description names it TIPSEAL 3.7KW 8BAR ATSL, for oil-free scroll and WIS machines, and the set renews the part of a scroll compressor that actually wears: the sealing tips that run between the two scrolls.
Scroll compression is continuous and oil-free, and its efficiency lives in the small clearance between the scroll flanks. The tips are sealed by dedicated seal parts, and those parts are consumables. The 3001170210 is the set the parts programme releases for renewing them, packed under one number with every seal the air end takes.
This article sets out what the 3001170210 contains, which scroll positions it serves on the ATSL-165E, how wear shows in the readings of the machine, and how the renewal is planned and ordered.
What the 3001170210 Tip Seal Set Is
The 3001170210 is a renewal set for the sealing system of one air end, not a repair of a single failed component. It is listed as TIP SEAL SET (ATSL-165E) in the Atlas Copco parts programme, and the designation ties it to the ATSL scroll platform of the 3.7 kW / 8 bar machines.
The Sealing Tips of an Oil-Free Scroll
In a scroll air end, one fixed scroll and one orbiting scroll trap pockets of air and squeeze them toward the centre in continuously shrinking chambers. The chamber walls never touch, and the clearance between them is closed by seals that ride at the scroll tips.
Those seals are the only parts in the compression path that are designed to be consumed. As they wear, the clearance opens, air leaks back through the chambers, and the air end delivers less for the power it draws. Renewing the tips with the 3001170210 closes the clearance again and returns the output of the stage.
One Set, One Air End
The set covers one ATSL-165E air end in full. The seals are position-specific, and the four labyrinth seals in the 3001170210 are not four copies of one part: each one is made for the position it seats in.
That is why the set exists as a kit rather than as loose seals. A plant that orders the 3001170210 receives every position the air end takes in one package, and the renewal is booked as one complete job.
The ATSL-165E and the Scroll Positions
The ATSL-165E builds its compression from more than one scroll set, and the parts list gives each scroll a position code. The 3001170210 is recorded against those positions, and the codes tell the workshop where each seal goes.
The Scroll Elements in the Parts List
The parts list shows the set against the scroll elements 1630143915, 1630143925 and 1630143935, with the position codes 01 LP FS, 01 HP OS and 01 LP OS, and further scroll positions follow in the same list. Each code identifies one scroll of the air end, and the tip seals of the 3001170210 are matched to those positions.
| Number | Position code |
| 1630143915 | 01 LP FS |
| 1630143925 | 01 HP OS |
| 1630143935 | 01 LP OS |
The numbers are the scroll elements themselves, and the position codes are how the parts book separates the low-pressure side from the high-pressure side and the fixed scroll from the orbiting one. A seal taken from the package is checked against the position before it is fitted.
What the LP, HP, FS and OS Codes Say
LP and HP stand for the low-pressure and the high-pressure side of the air end, and FS and OS stand for the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll. The codes matter because a scroll set is symmetrical to the eye but not to the fitting.
The workshop reads the code on the parts list, matches it against the position on the air end, and only then opens the packaging. That reading is the whole protection against a seal seated in a position it was not cut for.
What the 3001170210 Set Carries
The contents of the 3001170210 are six parts in six line items: four labyrinth seals, one seal and one tube. Every line is a sealing position of the ATSL-165E, and nothing in the package is a fastener or a consumable of another kind.
The Four Labyrinth Seals
Four labyrinth seals form the core of the 3001170210. A labyrinth seal closes a running clearance with a shaped path rather than with contact pressure, which is what lets an oil-free scroll run clean at speed.
The four seals are listed as separate line items in the set, because they are four distinct parts for four distinct positions. They are renewed as a group, since the wear that reaches one tip seal has run the same hours as the others.
The Seal and the Tube
One further seal and one tube complete the 3001170210. The seal takes the position the parts list assigns to it, and the tube seats in the sealing path as the contents line records.
All six parts stay in their packaging until their position is cleaned and ready. The compression path of an oil-free scroll runs without oil to wash anything away, and a sealing part that takes grit at the fitting stage carries it for its whole service life.
When the Tip Seals Are Renewed
The renewal of the tip seals is a planned job, not an emergency repair. The readings of the machine carry the decision, and the set goes into a stop that is already scheduled.
The Readings That Point to the Set
Free air delivery at the rated pressure is the reading that shows tip seal wear first. An oil-free scroll holds its output until the clearance opens, and then the delivery falls while the power drawn stays level.
Discharge temperature is read at the same time, because air that leaks back through the chambers is compressed more than once. Taken together across the service intervals, the readings tell a plant whether the 3001170210 belongs in the next planned stop.
Planning the Stop
The renewal is booked against the running hours of the air end and against the trend in the readings. A plant that renews the tips when the delivery has fallen measurably, but before the loss grows, keeps the machine inside its rated performance for the cost of one planned stop.
The 3001170210 is ordered into that stop together with the gaskets and small parts the strip-down calls for, so the air end is opened once.
The Renewal in Outline
The job divides into opening the air end, fitting the seals from the 3001170210, and closing it up for a first run under observation. Each stage is short, and the whole renewal fits into one workshop day on this class of machine.
Opening the Air End
The machine is isolated and vented, the drive is locked out, and the air end is stripped to the scroll housing on the bench. The positions of the old seals are photographed before removal, and each old part is kept with its position marked.
The old seals show the wear the readings pointed to. They are compared against the new parts from the 3001170210 as the fitting goes ahead, which is the last check that the right set was ordered.
Fitting and the First Run
The new seals are seated by position code, the scroll housing is closed in the reverse order of the strip-down, and the fasteners are tightened to the figures the workshop documentation gives. The machine is then run unloaded under observation before it takes load.
Free air delivery, discharge temperature and power draw are logged through the first running period, and that log becomes the new baseline for the machine file. The set number 3001170210 and the hour count go into the same entry.
Ordering the 3001170210 Tip Seal Set
One number covers the renewal, and the machine record confirms it. The parts desk works from the model and serial number of the compressor and from the set number.
What to Send with the Enquiry
Send Seadweer the compressor model and serial number together with the 3001170210. The team confirms the set for the machine, the scroll positions it covers, and the further parts the stop calls for.
The confirmation comes back with the contents line the workshop will check in, so the package is received against a known list rather than counted by hand.

FAQ
What is the 3001170210 used for?
The 3001170210 is the tip seal set for the ATSL-165E oil-free scroll air end of the 3.7 kW / 8 bar scroll machines. It renews the sealing tips that close the running clearance between the scrolls, which is the part of a scroll compressor that wears in service.
What is inside the 3001170210 set?
The set holds four labyrinth seals for their four distinct positions, one further seal and one tube. All six parts are sealing parts of the air end, and each is checked against its position code before it is fitted.
What do the position codes on the scrolls mean?
LP and HP separate the low-pressure side from the high-pressure side, and FS and OS separate the fixed scroll from the orbiting scroll. The parts list carries the codes against the scroll elements 1630143915, 1630143925 and 1630143935, with further positions in the same list.
How does tip seal wear show on the machine?
The clearest sign is free air delivery that falls at rated pressure while the power drawn stays level. Discharge temperature rises with the same wear, because air leaks back through the opened clearance and is compressed more than once.
Is the tip seal set the same as a scroll element exchange?
No. The tip seal set renews the sealing parts inside the air end while the scrolls stay in place. An element exchange replaces the scroll stage itself and is carried under its own kit numbers in the parts programme.
How is the 3001170210 ordered?
Send Seadweer the compressor model and serial number with the set number. The team confirms the set for the machine, the positions it covers, and the parts the planned stop calls for alongside it.

Grace Adeyemi –
We fitted the 3001170210 during a planned stop on one of our 8 bar scroll units, and the four labyrinth seals matched the positions in the parts list one for one. The old seals had worn visibly at the tips, which explained the output we had been losing over the months. After the first run the readings were back at the level we recorded when the machine was new, and the set number is now on the machine file with the hour count.
