Ensure optimal performance and longevity for your air-powered tools and components with our high-quality pneumatic lubricators. By delivering a precise oil mist into the compressed air stream, our lubricators reduce friction, minimize wear, and protect against corrosion, keeping your operations running smoothly and efficiently.
Provides a consistent oil film to moving parts, minimizing friction, reducing wear and tear, and extending component life.
The oil film helps protect internal metal surfaces from moisture and corrosive elements present in the compressed air.
Proper lubrication ensures smoother, more consistent operation of pneumatic tools and actuators, leading to better overall system performance.
Pneumatic lubricators are designed to introduce a controlled amount of fine oil mist into the compressed air stream. As air flows through the lubricator, a pressure differential is created, which draws oil from a reservoir. The oil is then atomized into fine droplets and carried downstream to lubricate the internal moving parts of pneumatic components.
Precision adjustment mechanisms allow for fine control of the oil drip rate, ensuring optimal lubrication without excess oil consumption.
Efficient atomization design ensures a fine, consistent oil mist is delivered even at low flow rates.
Designed for convenient oil refilling, often possible even while the system is under pressure (check specific model features).
Robust body and bowl materials ensure long service life in various industrial environments.
E.g., G1/8, G1/4, G3/8, G1/2, G1, NPT options.
Maximum airflow the lubricator can effectively handle (L/min, SCFM).
Minimum and maximum pressure for proper oil atomization and delivery.
Volume of the oil reservoir (e.g., cm³, oz).
Viscosity and type of oil (e.g., ISO VG32 turbine oil).
The controllability of the oil feed rate.
Polycarbonate (standard) or metal (for higher pressures/temperatures or harsh chemicals).
Suitable ambient and media temperature range.
For detailed parameters, please refer to individual product manuals or consult our technical experts.
Always de-pressurize the system before refilling oil or performing any maintenance on lubricators.
Lubrication is necessary for some pneumatic components (especially those with moving metal-on-metal or metal-on-seal contact) to:
Without proper lubrication, these components can suffer from rapid wear, increased operating temperature, sticking, and premature failure.
Both over-lubrication and under-lubrication can cause problems:
The key is to provide the correct amount of the correct type of lubricant, as recommended for the specific components in your system.
The effective distance oil mist can travel downstream from a lubricator depends on several factors, including:
As a general rule, it’s best to install lubricators as close as practically possible to the components requiring lubrication, typically within 5-10 meters (15-30 feet). For very long air lines or complex systems, multiple lubricators or specialized lubrication systems might be necessary.
No, you should not use just any type of oil. It’s crucial to use oils specifically formulated for pneumatic systems and compatible with your lubricator and downstream components (especially seals).
Using incorrect oil (e.g., automotive motor oil, hydraulic oil) can lead to:
Always refer to the lubricator manufacturer’s recommendations and the requirements of your pneumatic equipment for the correct oil type and viscosity (e.g., ISO VG32 non-detergent mineral oil is common).
If your lubricator isn’t dripping oil, check these common causes:
Always de-pressurize the system before disassembling any part of the lubricator for inspection or cleaning.
