3.1
Preparing the compressed air
Caution
Non−filtered or incorrectly lubricated compressed air will
reduce the service life of the valve terminal.
3.1.1 Operation with non−lubricated compressed air
Caution
Too much residual oil in the compressed air will reduce the
service life of the valve terminal.
If bio−oils are used (oils with synthetic ester or true ester
basis, e.g. rape oil methylester) the residual oil content
must not exceed 0.1 mg/m
3
(see ISO 8573−1 class 2).
If mineral oils are used (e.g. HLP oils as per DIN 51524
parts 1 to 3) or corresponding oils on a polyalphaolefine
basis (PAO), the residual oil content must not exceed 5
mg/m
3
(see ISO 8573−1 class 4).
You will thereby avoid functional damage to the valves.
Excessive residual oil cannot be permitted irrespective of the
compressor oil, as otherwise the basic lubrication will be
washed out during the course of time.
3.1.2 Operation with lubricated compressed air
If possible, operate your system with non−lubricated com
pressed air. This will prevent pollution of the environment.
Festo pneumatic valves and cylinders have been designed so
that, if used as intended, they will not require additional lu
brication and will still achieve a long service life.
