5.4 Filling the Air Supply Lubricant Reservoir
IMPORTANT:
The TLA50 Air Motor requires
ISO VG 32 (SAE10) Detergent Oil.
•
Turn Off or Disconnect from the Air Supply.
•
Remove the Air Lubricator Filler Plug (25).
•
Fill the Air Lubricant Reservoir (27) with
ISO VG 32
turbine oil to the fill line marked on the reservoir.
•
Replace the Air Lubricator Filler Plug (25).
5.5 Air Supply Requirements
•
The air supply must be delivered via a suitably rated air hose of at least 1/2” (13mm) diameter.
•
The air supply pressure must be at least 5.5 bar (80 psi), but preferably 7 bar (100 psi).
•
The compressor must be able to maintain a minimum flow rate of 50 cfm (24 l/sec).
NOTE:
The
pump will still run if the values are below those stated above, but the oil flow rate,
and therefore the advance and retraction speed of the cylinder, will be reduced.
5.6 Airline Connection
The air supply must be connected (via a suitable fitting) to the
3/8” BSP inlet port (22) on the FRL Unit.
5.7 Air Lubricant Setting
Adjust the air lubricant control knob (26) such that 1 drop of lubricant is added to the air supply approximately
every minute. The lubricant drops can be seen through the lubricant control knob (26) on the top of the unit.
Allowing more oil than this into the motor can lead to contamination of the exhaust flow.
5.8 Priming the Pump / Bleeding Trapped Air from the System
If the unit is delivered without oil, or if air becomes trapped in the system, it will need to be primed / bled.
To do this, fully advance and retract the cylinder (unloaded) several times until operation is smooth.
