Not necessarily--it'd probably do a couple of thermal shutdowns, for one thing; for another, it isn't rated for that. If my robot were going through air that fast, though, I'd have it shut down for an hour so I could hunt down the leak in the system.

That said, if I were using a lot of air, I'd reasonably expect a pretty good amount of runtime on the compressor in that hour.
