The compressed air lubricator is an element that is inserted into the lines where there is compressed air pressure, with the objective of injecting into the air stream, a specific amount of oil intended to lubricate the tool or pneumatic equipment installed from the point of lubricator application. This applied oil is deposited in a nebulized manner by the air pressure itself, like a cloud of microparticles.
This small mist makes it possible to Lubricationall systems, pneumatic cylinders, pneumatic valves and distributors, pneumatic tools and all peripherals associated with the compressed air line. This works based on the “venturi” principle, reducing the flow area, increasing the speed of the fluid and spraying or nebulizing a drop of oil so that it is distributed uniformly to the equipment connected to the air line. VG-32 oil is recommended for this use and has anticorrosive property,
The lubricator has a pre-established direction of passage already indicated on each lubricator. It also has a maximum and minimum oil indicator, which we can fill, using a filler cap, even when there is pressure in the comprimido.Posee air line. It also has an oil inlet quantity regulator, using a screw, which we will regulate to the desired way.
These equipment will extend the useful life of the lubricated elements. It is usually coupled to filters and pressure regulators. It is common to find them in all compressed air networks, forming a set with filters and regulators called FRL. They must always be placed after the filter or regulator to prevent moisture from entering the lubricator and the formation of an emulsion.
Pneumatic lubricators are safe, do not have explosive characteristics or produce excessive heat. They are used in practically all types of industries, where automation is present.
