Cutting through the fog on pneumatic lubrication

摘要

Pneumatic devices that push, pull, lift, position, or convey last longer and perform better when supplied with compressed air that is clean, dry, pressure-regulated, and lubricated. The service life of many air tools, cylinders, valves, air motors, and other air-driven equipment can be extended by consistent aerosol lubrication. Why lubricate? Environmental factors like extreme temperatures and excessive moisture, along with operational factors such as startup and operational friction, reduce the life of most working pneumatic devices. Oil aerosol delivered in compressed air reduces the effects of these factors and extends the life of pneumatic components.
