3.1.2 Operation with lubricated compressed air
Please note
If possible, operate your system with non-lubricated com-
pressed air in order to protect the environment. Festo
pneumatic valves and cylinders have been designed so
that they do not require any additional lubrication if used
as designated, yet still achieve a long service life.
Vorsicht
Operation with lubricated compressed air leads to the ser-
vice life lubrication, which is required for non-lubricated
operation, being ”washed out.”
Please observe the following instructions if lubricated com-
pressed air has to be used.
The compressed air prepared with the compressor must be of
the same quality as the non-lubricated compressed air.
If possible, do not operate the complete system with lubri-
cated compressed air. If possible, fit the lubricators only di-
rectly in front of the cylinder to be lubricated.
Caution
Incorrect additional oil and an excessive oil content in the
compressed air will reduce the service life of the valve ter-
minal.
– Use the Festo special oil OFSW-32 or the alternative
listed in the Festo Catalogue (as per DIN51524-HLP32,
basic viscosity 32cST at 40° C).
– the amount of additional oil must not exceed 25 mg/m²
(ISO 8573-1 class 5).
– Make sure that the lubricator is set correctly (see follow-
ing section).
In this way you will avoid functional damage to the valves.
