Maintenance of Pneumatic Tools
Only proper maintenance can
ensure constant performance,
reduction in wear and thus, a
decrease in operating costs and an
increase in service life.
Our pneumatic tools are equipped
for an operating pressure of 6 bar.
A regulator setting for an operating
pressure of 4 bar is possible as well
as expedient for grinding machines
with a built-in regulator so as to
take full advantage of the speed
prescribed for the corresponding
grinding wheels.
Pneumatic tools should not run
empty, because this results in heat
and higher wear. The compressed
air
should be clean and dry. This is
guaranteed by a proper pneumatic
system. Blow through the
pneumatic hose before connecting
it. For the economical use of
pneumatic tools. The prescribed air
quantities are necessary, i. e. , the
line, armatures and hoses must
have the required cross sections so
that the flow pressure remains
constant. Proper lubrication is a
must; for this reason, our
pneumatic tools usually have built-
in oilers. Which are located
between the inlet valve and the
motor, and which function in any
position. In smaller and lighter hand
tools, these oilers must often be left
out, because the machines would
then be too heavy and not
easy to manage. In such cases,
lubrication must be carried out by
service units or by manual hose
oilers. We recommend service units
for permanently installed
workplaces (see accessories list).
However, where longer hose lines
are necessary. line oilers built into
the hose lines are more effective.
The distance between the tool and
oiler should not be more than 5 m.
Most of pneumatic tools have
located at the connection a lined-up
screen, which is to be regularly
checked and cleaned.
After ending a working task, the
machines are to be flushed with a
thin oil, or protected some other
way against corrosion.
Visible grease nipples ar provided
for regular lubrication of the gears
with a grease gun. Note the
following for grease lubrication:
Every 60 hours of operation check
striking mechanism, friction
bearings and antifriction bearings; if
necessary, grease them. Every 300
hours of operation grease the gears
and antifriction bearings anew.
In the case of impact wrenches,
use a grease gun to grease the
anvil guide before beginning daily
work or every 6 to 8 hours.
All inner parts must be lubricated
before storing for longer periods of
time in order to prevent rusting.
It is recommended to check the vanes and
bearings at regular intervals.
Store pneumatic tools in dry rooms only.
Lubricating oils to be used:
Generally SAE 5 W to SAE 10
For gearless impact wrenches and small
grinders, only SAE 5 W.
For damp compressed air, oils are to be
used that take up water
( without losing the lubricating effect) and
that contain anticorrosive additives. At
lower temperatures (especially for work
outside) it may be necessary to use an
antifreeze lubricant (e.g. Kilfrost, BP
Energol AX 10, Kompranol N 74).
For saw-chain lubrication on chain saws:
Machine oil with adhesive additive,
viscosity c ST 49-55’
(6.5-7.5 E)/ 50°C
Greases ( free of resins and acids)
Multi-purpose greases for
antifriction and friction bearings
Special greases for high-speed miter gears
