Mist Lubricators (Figure 1)
Description
These mist lubricators are designed to deliver an atomized oil mist to
air operated tools, motors, and other pneumatic equipment. Units are
equipped with full-view sight glass for visual indication of oil drop rate,
needle valve feed adjustment to regulate oil drop rate, and a venturi
bypass disc to compensate for changes in air flow demands.
Installation of Lubricator
1. Lubricator should be installed with reasonable accessibility for
service whenever possible - repair service kits are available. Keep
pipe and tubing lengths to a minimum with inside clean and free of
dirt and chips. Pipe joint compounds should be used sparingly and
applied only to the male pipe – never into the female port. Do not
use PTFE tape to seal pipe joints - pieces have a tendency to break
off and lodge inside the unit, possibly causing malfunction.
2. Install lubricator so that air flow is in the direction of arrow on body.
3. Installation should be upstream from, and as close as possible, to
the device it is to lubricate (valve, cylinder, tool, etc.). Whenever
possible, avoid locations that require air-borne oil to move in an
upward direction to reach the device to be lubricated.
4. The installation of an individual lubricator for each air consuming
device provides best assurances of proper lubrication.
5. In new installations, it is good practice to “wet down” the inside
diameter of piping and/hose with oil before making final connections.
Although your lubricator delivers oil to the line, pre-coating the inside
diameter with oil helps insure that proper amounts of oil are delivered
to the point of application.
Operation & Service of Lubricator
! Warning: Before filling, inlet pressure must be eliminated
and then de-pressurize system pressure.
1. FILLING - After de-pressurizing system, remove bowl to refill
lubricator. Fill bowl to fill line indicated on the bowl with oil of 150 to
200 SSU at 100°F viscosity - same as SAE No. 10 (petroleum based
hydraulic oils or spindle oils are good examples). DO NOT USE
OILS WITH TACKY ADDITIVES, COMPOUND OILS CONTAINING
SOLVENTS, GRAPHITE, SOAPS OR DETERGENTS. (Automotive
oils generally contain detergents and are not recommended.
2. Replace the bowl and seat firmly. Excessive torque is not necessary.
The lubricator is now ready for setting.
3. OIL DELIVERY ADJUSTMENT - To adjust oil delivery, turn the
adjusting needle on top of the lubricator.
Leaner - Clockwise Richer - Counterclockwise
By counting the number of drops per minute in the sight dome, you can
adjust lubricator to your required setting.
Generally, one drop per minute downstream for every 10-15 SCFM flow
is satisfactory. 25 drops per minute equals one ounce per hour - volume
of oil passing through the sight dome.
NOte: This is a constant density type lubricator which delivers a
constant ratio of oil to air flow. Therefore, if air flow increases
or decreases, oil delivery will be effected proportionately.
ONLY IF DIFFERENT RATIO IS DESIRED SHOULD YOUR
ADJUSTMENT KNOB SETTING BE CHANGED AFTER YOUR
INITIAL SETTING.

WARNING
to avoid unpredictable system behavior that can cause personal
injury and property damage:
• Disconnect electrical supply (when necessary) before
installation, servicing, or conversion.
• Disconnect air supply and depressurize all air lines connected
to this product before installation, servicing, or conversion.
• Operate within the manufacturer’s specified pressure,
temperature, and other conditions listed in these instructions.
• Medium must be moisture-free if ambient temperature is below
freezing.
• Service according to procedures listed in these instructions.
• Installation, service, and conversion of these products must be
performed by knowledgeable personnel who understand how
pneumatic products are to be applied.
• After installation, servicing, or conversion, air and electrical
supplies (when necessary) should be connected and the product
tested for proper function and leakage. If audible leakage is
present, or the product does not operate properly, do not put
into use.
• Warnings and specifications on the product should not be
covered by paint, etc. If masking is not possible, contact your
local representative for replacement labels.
