Most moving parts require some form of lubrication. The high costs
of inefficiently running equipment and repair expenses make the addition of an
air line lubricator an economical practice. Lubricators store oil and inject a
preset amount of oil mist, or fog, into the air stream which is then delivered
to the downstream device. The size of the lubricator for a particular
application is determined by the downstream requirements. The charts provided
for the various lubricators in the catalog will determine the pressure drop at
the required flow rate and pressure. The pressure drop should be no greater than
5 PSID. A larger lubricator should be used if the pressure drop is over 5 PSID.
Special attention should be paid to the compatibility of the lubricants used in
the system and the materials in the lubricator, especially where plastic
reservoirs (bowls) are concerned. Should there be any question regarding their
compatibility, consult the factory or use a metal
reservoir.
In-line lubricators provide at-the-tool lubrication to keep tools running at
peak efficiency. They are an effective alternative to larger more costly units
that may not deliver lubricant to the tool due to excessive line length. Ideal
for intermittent use type tools such as staplers and nailers. Available in 5 and
7.5 cc lubricant capacities.
