These lubricators are essential for maintaining a reliable and efficient pneumatic network, reducing wear and tear, and ensuring smooth operation across various industrial applications.
How Does A Lubricator For Compressed Air Work?
A lubricator adds a small amount of oil into the compressed air to keep tools and equipment running smoothly.
- Air flows in – Compressed air enters the lubricator.
- Oil is added – The air passes through a chamber where tiny drops of oil are mixed in.
- Oiled air flows out – This lightly oiled air then moves through the system to lubricate moving parts inside tools.
A lubricator is important because it automatically adds the right amount of oil into the air to keep tools running smoothly. It helps reduce friction, prevent rust, and extend the life of equipment. Unlike manual oiling, a lubricator works continuously while the system is running - saving time, reducing maintenance, and ensuring tools are always properly lubricated.
