The pneumatic lubricator is the simplest wav of efficiently lubricating tfie octuators linked to a circuit. As compressed air flows towards the lubricator, it encounters a flexible diaphragm which partially blocks the way, creating a small pressure difference between the inlet and outlet air. Being at the higher pressure, the oil in the bowl is pumped through a tube with a filter towards the regulation pin. The quantity of oil can be metered accurately since the drops can be viewed through the transparent dome.
Filling with oil must take ploce in the absence of pressure, unscrewing the plug next to the dome. On the front and back there is a port 11 /8* for size 1 and 1/4' for size 2) that can be used with pressure gauges, pressure switches or as an additional air intake.
