3.1.2 Operation with lubricated compressed air
Operate system equipment with unlubricated compressed air
if possible. This is better for the environment.
Festo pneumatic valves and actuators 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
life-time lubrication, which is necessary for unlubricated
operation, to be “washed out”.
Observe the following instructions if lubricated compressed
air must be used:
The compressed air prepared with the compressor must
correspond in quality to unlubricated compressed air.
If possible, do not operate all of your equipment with
lubricated compressed air. If possible, always install the
lubricators directly in front of the consuming actuator.
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 32 CST at 40 °C).
– The additional lubrication must not exceed 25 mg/m
3
(ISO 8573-1 class 5).
– Make sure that the lubricator setting is correct
(see following section)
This avoids operative malfunction of the valves.
Setting the lubricator:
With the machine running (typical operating status) 0.2 to
max. 1 drops/min. or 0.5 to 5 drops/1000 l air.
