AIR PREPARATION
NON-LUBRICATED AIR
Nexen recommends the use of filtered, lubricated air to avoid premature seal wear and extend the life of the seal. However,
because the seals are lubricated prior to product assembly, they can operate with clean, dry non-lubricated air, when condi-
tions do not allow the use of lubricated air. The preparation of the air is critical to the life of clutch-brake seals. To prepare the
air; filter the air to 5 microns or better. The dew point specification should be 40°F or lower.
