NOTE
Nexen pneumatically actuated devices require clean, pressure regulated air for maximum performance and life.
All seals in Nexen Pneumatically operated devices are lubricated for life and do not require additional lubrication.
However, some customers prefer to use an air line lubricator, which injects oil into the pressurized air, forcing an
oil mist into the air chamber. This is acceptable, but care must be taken to ensure once an air mist lubrication
system is used, it is continually used over the life of the product as the oil mist may wash free the factory
installed lubrication.
Locate the lubricator above and within ten feet of the product, and use low viscosity oil such as SAE-10.
Synthetic lubricants are not recommended.
Nexen product's bearings are shielded and pre-lubricated, and require no further lubrication.
LUBRICATOR DRIP RATE SETTINGS
1
. Close and disconnect the air line from the unit.
2. Turn the Lubricator Adjustment Knob counterclockwise

lubricator, calibration must follow the
manufacturer's suggested procedure.
4. Close the air line to the unit when a drop of oil forms
in the Lubricator Sight Gage.
5. Connect the air line to the unit.
6. Turn the Lubricator Adjustment Knob clockwise until
closed.
7. Turn the Lubricator Adjustment Knob counterclockwise

CAUTION
The temperature limits for this
product line are 4.5-104 Degree
Celsius (40-220 Degree F).
WARNING
Ensure proper guarding of the product is used.
Nexen recommends the machine builder
design guarding in compliance with OSHA 29
CFR 1910 “Occupational Safety and Health
Hazards”.
CAUTION
Never exceed life of facing material. Facing
life depends on the volume of material and
the total energy over the life of the unit.
Expected life (in hrs) can be found by:
Time=Volume/(Power*Wear Rate).
