The Air-Oil Generating system delivers high efficiency lubrication for high-speed spindles and other
applications requiring accurate oil deliveries, in combination with air flow. The Air-Oil Generating Unit
is versatile and allows multiple configurations that enable systems to be designed to suit various
applications.
Application
The Air-Oil Generating Unit is a self contained lubricating system pre assembled and ready for
installation. The unit contains the following elements: an electric SureFire II Lubricator with
precision gear oil pump, proprietary electronic controller to operate and monitor all functions, Air
Treatment System (primary 5 micron filter and a secondary 0.01 micron coalescing filter), On-off Air
Solenoid and an Air-Oil mixing manifold to inject oil into the air delivery tubing. The Air-Oil Generating
system monitors and includes oil level warning, oil low level cut-out and two pressure monitoring
devices. The proprietary control works in conjunction with optional “OSS” Oil Streak Sensing Units to
monitor downstream oil particles flowing to critical bearings. The SureFire II Controller operates in
real time and has 2 internal relay outputs which can be connected to a host computer/PLC to monitor
the system status and fault type if any. The control can be reset at the SureFire II Lubricator.
The Air-Oil Generating Unit is designed to deliver small amounts of lubricant in a uniform and
continuous feed basis. The oil is injected periodically into the output air stream every 1~5 minutes
and depending on oil viscosity and air pressure, delivers continuous particles of lubricant to the
bearing.
