3.1.2 Operation with lubricated compressed air
Please note
If possible, operate your system with non−lubricated com
pressed air. This will prevent pollution of the environment.
Festo pneumatic valves and cylinders have been designed
so that, if used as intended, they will not require additional
lubrication and will still achieve a long service life.
Caution
Operation with lubricated compressed air will cause the
service life lubrication, which is necessary for non−lubri
cated operation, to be washed out."
Please note the following instructions if lubricated com
pressed air must be used.
The compressed air prepared with the compressor must
correspond in quality to non−lubricated compressed air. If
possible, do not operate the complete system with lubricated
compressed air. If possible, always install the lubricators di
rectly in front of the consuming cylinder.
Caution
Incorrect additional oil and too much residual oil content in
the compressed air will reduce the service life of the valve
terminal.
Use Festo special oil OFSW−32 or the other oils listed in
the Festo catalogue (as per DIN 51524−HLP32, basic
viscosity 32cST at + 40 °C).
The additional lubrication must not exceed 25mg/m
3
(ISO 8573−1 class 5).
Make sure that the lubricator setting is correct
(seefollowing section).
You will thereby avoid functional damage to the valves.
