Description
What Is an Airline Lubricator?
An airline lubricator is installed in a compressed-air line to supply lubrication to pneumatic equipment through the airflow.
Pneumatic tools contain moving components that operate under repeated impact, rotation or reciprocating motion. Supplying suitable pneumatic-tool oil through the air line helps reduce friction and wear and can contribute to smoother operation and longer service intervals.
An airline lubricator is particularly useful when:
- The pneumatic tool is located away from the compressor
- A permanently installed lubricator cannot adequately lubricate the tool
- Multiple pneumatic tools require suitable lubrication arrangements
- Tools are used continuously on construction or industrial sites
- Pneumatic breakers and other air-powered tools require regular lubrication
ACE specifically describes the ACE 1.2 as an in-line lubricator intended for tools located approximately 6–8 feet from the tool, particularly where the tool is too far from the compressor for a permanently mounted unit to provide effective lubrication.
Why Use an Airline Lubricator With Pneumatic Tools?
A compressed-air tool operates under demanding conditions, particularly when used continuously for concrete breaking, demolition, mining or industrial maintenance.
Without appropriate lubrication, friction between internal moving components can contribute to increased wear and maintenance requirements.
A properly selected pneumatic tool lubricator helps provide a continuous supply of lubricant through the air line.
Key advantages include:
- Reduced friction between moving components
- Reduced mechanical wear
- Smoother pneumatic-tool operation
- Longer potential tool service life
- Reduced maintenance-related downtime
- Convenient lubrication during operation
- Suitable for demanding industrial applications
ACE identifies extending tool life and reducing downtime among the standard benefits of its airline lubricators.
ACE 1.2 Air Line Lubricator
The ACE 1.2 Air Line Lubricator, also known as the ACE 1.2 Line Oiler, is a heavy-duty in-line lubricator designed for pneumatic tools that require lubrication close to the point of use.
ACE specifies installation approximately 6–8 feet from the tool and positions the unit as a solution for tools located too far from the compressor for effective lubrication from a permanently mounted unit.
