AIR CONNECTIONS
CAUTION
Low air pressure will cause slippage and
overheating. Excessive air pressure will
cause abrupt starts and stops, reducing
product life.
All Nexen pneumatically actuated devices require clean
and dry air, which meet or exceeds ISO 8573.1:2001
Class 4.4.3 quality.
NOTE
For quick response, Nexen recommends a quick exhaust
valve and short air lines between the Control Valves and
the unit. Align the air inlet ports to a down position to
allow condensation to drain out of the air chambers of
the product.
NOTE
Nexen pneumatically actuated devices require clean, pressure regulated air for maximum performance and
life. All seals in Nexen pneumatically operated devices are lubricated for life, and do not require additional
lubrication.
However, some customers prefer to use an air line lubricator, which injects oil into the pressurized air,
forcing an oil mist into the air chamber. This is acceptable, but care must be taken to ensure once an air mist
lubrication system is used, it is continually used over the life of the product as the oil mist may wash free the
factory installed lubrication.
Locate the lubricator above and within ten feet of the product, and use low viscosity oil such as SAE-10.
Synthetic lubricants are not recommended.
Nexen product's bearings are shielded and pre-lubricated, and require no further lubrication.
