Lubrication

 

Ingersoll Rand No. 28                        Ingersoll Rand No. 50

Always use an air line lubricator with this motor.

We recommend the following Filter-Lubricator-Regulator Unit:

No. C28241-800
Where the lubricator cannot be permanently mounted, use  

Ingersoll Rand No. 3LUB8 Lubricator.  

We recommend the use of an air line lubricator in the air supply 

line. Attach the unit as close to the tool as practical. For permanent 

installations, we recommend using an Ingersoll Rand  

C28241-800 Filter-Lubricator-Regulator Unit. These units have 1/2” 

pipe tap inlet and outlet. The 3LUB8 has 1/6 pt (79 ml) capacity; the 

C28241-800 has 6 oz (177 ml) capacity. Larger capacity units may be 

used, but do not use a unit having less than 1/2” pipe tap inlet and 

outlet. 
After each 40,000 cycles or one month, whichever occurs first, 

inject 1.5 cc of Ingersoll Rand No. 28 Grease into the Grease  

Fitting (30).
Direction of Spindle Rotation
Series 3800 Nonreversible Motors can be assembled so that the 

Spindle rotates either clockwise or counter-clockwise. To reverse the 

direction of the spindle rotation:

1.  Remove the motor assembly from the Motor Housing (15).

2.  Remove one End Plate and Bearing from the motor.

3.  Lift the Cylinder (16) from the Rotor (13), turn it end for end, and 

slide it back over the Rotor.

4.  Install the End Plate and Bearing assembly on the Rotor Hub and 

install the assembled motor in the Housing.

5.  Remove the three Backhead Cap Screws (3) and rotate the 

Backhead (2) and Backhead Gasket (6) 90° so that the cavity in 

the face of the Backhead is in alignment with the alternate set of 

holes in the back face of the Motor Housing. When the Backhead 

is correctly applied, the cavity will be over the letter “F” for 

counterclockwise spindle rotation (when facing the end of the 

Spindle), and over the letter “R” for clockwise rotation.  

The rotational direction of an assembled Nonreversible Series 

3800 Motor can be determined by removing the Air Strainer (1) 

and looking through the tapped opening to see whether the 

letter “F” or letter “R” is visible. Apply the Backhead on Series 

3840 Reversible Motors so that each inlet port aligns with a group 

of three holes through the housing rear wall.

NOTICE

A four-way Throttle Valve (whether manually, remotely, or 

automatically controlled) must be used in the air supply 

line to Series 3840 reversible motors, as one motor inlet is 

expelling secondary exhaust air, and therefore must be open to 

atmosphere whenever the opposite inlet is admitting live air to 

the motor. The use of any throttle valve that closes or restricts 

the secondary exhaust line will result in sufficient back pressure 

to drastically reduce the speed and power of the motor.  

When the application requires a separate Throttle Valve in each 

air line, the two three-way valves must be used.
