Caution
Operation with lubricated compressed air will lead to the
service life lubrication, which is required for non−lubricated
operation, being washed out".
Note the following instructions if lubricated compressed air
has to be used.
The compressed air prepared with the compressor must
correspond to the quality of non−lubricated compressed air. If
possible, do not operate the complete system with lubricated
compressed air. If possible, always fit the lubricator directly in
front of the consuming actuator.
Caution
Incorrect additional oil and excessive residual oil content
in the compressed air will reduce the service life of the
valve terminal.
Use special oil OFSW−32 from Festo or the alternative oil
listed in the Festo catalogue (corresponding to
DIN51524−HLP32, basic viscosity 32CST at 40 °C).
Additional lubrication must not exceed 25 mg/m
3
(ISO8573−1 class 5).
Make sure that the lubricator is set correctly (see follow
ing section).
In this way you will avoid malfunctioning of the valves.
Setting the lubricator With the machine running (typical operating status) 0.2 to
max. 1 drop/min. or 0.5 to 5 drops/1000 l air.
