Dear all,
I am wondering what takaisku could be in an air compressor. It refers to a part of this equipment. Here's some context:
Thanks a lot in advance.

Explanation:
Hi Diana, I would suggest checking the term "back stroke" in connection with air compressors on the web. It generally refers to the piston used in the compressor.

check valve


Explanation:
I think takaisku might refer to "takaiskuventtiili". I'm not sure if there's one in an air compressor though.

non-return


Explanation:
If this is aircraft terminology referring to valves, both non-return valve and back-pressure valve are common. 'Takaisku' itself means kickback or back-firing. All these terms are given in the Finnair Airline Glossary.

disagree  Timo Lehtilä: This answer can't be true. 'Back stroke' in the reference refers to backward movement of the piston and you surely cannot order it. I am 100 % sure that ‘takaisku’is only a shortened form of ‘takaiskuventtiili’ (non-return or check valve).
