AIR LINE LUBRICATOR Instructional Information

Transcription

1 IR LINE LURITOR Instructional Information LURITOR FUNTION ir line lubricators are designed to introduce atomized oil into the air line so that downstream mechanisms can be adequately lubricated. Lubricators should be adjusted so that the minimum amount of oil to lubricate the equipment is used. There are two basic designs used in ROSS lubricators: sight-feed design and wick-feed design. Illustrations of these two types of assembly are shown on the facing page. SIGHT-FEED LURITORS ir flows through a flexible-vane automatic flow sensor that creates a small pressure differential between the air passage and the oil reservoir. This differential causes oil to move up a riser tube, through an adjustable metering valve, and then to drip into a transparent dome and the air stream. This oil is atomized by the air stream, and carried down the air line to the points of lubrication. Sight-feed lubricators are easy to adjust and an indicator on the sight dome measures the amount of oil dispensed. The adjusting knob can be removed to make the lubricator tamperresistant. ll working parts are in an easily replaceable cartridge. WIK-FEED LURITORS In a wick-feed lubricator, one end of a porous bronze wick is saturated with oil in the reservoir. apillary action causes the oil to travel up the wick. Oil is stripped off the upper portion of the wick by the air flow, and maintains a constant oil-to-air ratio. This ratio can be varied by manual adjustment. Units will not shut off, even with dirt and moisture in the reservoir. However, air must be shut off when filling the reservoirs of these models. MODULR or INLINE MOUNTING ROSS lubricators are of modular design. They are connected to other units by special modular connectors which seal the faces between units. They may also be inline mounted with pipe nipples. MINITURE and HIGH-PITY lubricators are inline mounted only. NTM LURITORS Port sizes /8 and /4 or fittings for tubing up to mm. Wick-feed design and modular assembly. Made of durable, corrosion-resistant acetal. Polycarbonate or aluminum bowl. ir flow to 25 scfm (2 l/s). 2-ounce (6-ml) bowl capacity.
