AIR CONNECTIONS
For quick response, locate the control valve as close to the
Tooth Clutch as possible. Nexen recommends air controls
having 1/8" ports along with a quick exhaust valve to ensure
rapid engagement where long air lines are required.
Align the air inlet port to the six o’clock down position to
allow condensation in the air chamber to drain out of the
exhaust port.
To prevent hose breakage, resting the hose against a sup-
port mounted parallel to the Tooth Clutch centerline stops
this rotation.
NOTE
Rigid pipe or tubing when connected directly to the
Tooth Clutch will prevent proper actuation of the Tooth
Clutch. Use only flexible hose or tubing when mak-
ing air line connections.
LUBRICATION
NOTE
Pneumatically actuated devices require clean, pressure regulated, and lubricated air for maximum performance
and long life. The most effective and economical way to lubricate Nexen Tooth Clutches is with an Air Line Lubrica-
tor, which injects oil into the pressurized air, forcing an oil mist into the air chamber.
Locate the lubricator above and within ten feet of the Tooth Clutch, and use a low viscosity oil such as SAE-10.
Synthetic lubricants are not recommended.
LUBRICATOR DRIP RATE SETTINGS
NOTE
These setting are for Nexen supplied lubricators. If
you are not using a Nexen lubricator, calibration must
replicate the following procedure.
1. Close and disconnect the air line from the unit.
2. Turn the Lubricator Adjustment Knob clockwise three
complete turns.
3. Open the air line.
4. Close the air line to the unit when a drop of oil forms in
the Lubricator Sight Gage.
5. Connect the air line to the unit.
6. Turn the Lubricator Adjustment Knob counterclockwise
until closed.
7. Turn the Lubricator Adjustment Knob clockwise one-
third turn.
8. Open the air line to the unit.
