The Airmatic lubricator is a simple economical unit with a broad range of output. It is designed to be operated with shop air. The stroke setting is easily adjusted to suit a wide variety of industrial centralized lubrication needs. The package can be supplied with either a 1, 4 or 12 liter reservoir.
Application
The Airmatic lubricator is for use with cyclic oil lubrication systems. The unit can be used with single line resistance (SLR), positive displacement injector (PDI), progressive distribution and injector systems.*
Operation
Airmatic® lubricator includes an air actuated, spring return piston pump with an adjustable output between 2 to 10cc for each piston stroke at discharge pressures up to 500 psi. Oil output is related to piston travel and cycles per unit time. Stroke movement is preset to a fixed discharge and supply air pressure governs the output delivery pressure. When used with positive displacement injectors, a built-in pressure relief device lets the PDI reset after discharge.
For extended service, incoming air must be dry. Always use a suitable FRL unit (filter/regulator/lubricator) to control air to recommended operating range. Normally, the air-operated Airmatic is used with a 3/2-way electrical solenoid valve (optional) to control and vent shop air from the pump air inlet. All models are available with optional 3/2-way valve.
To adjust lubricant delivery, loosen locknut on hex socket adjusting screw (see Figure 1 on right). Turn
delivery adjusting screw clockwise to reduse discharge – use graduated label as guide, set to desired
setting and tighten locknut (insert shows setting at 8cc).
