Often, pneumatic equipment is used during repair work, painting, anti-corrosion treatment.
Pneumatic tools include various types of screwdrivers, grinders, pneumatic drills, chisels, riveting hammers and other items designed to increase labor productivity with the least expenditure of physical strength.
To work effectively, a pneumatic tool needs care and, most importantly, high-quality lubrication. Due to a number of advantages, pneumatic tools compete with power tools.
The main features of the pneumatic tool include its safety, low noise and vibration levels. It is simple and unpretentious in operation, it works in a wide range of temperatures, in various conditions.
The main advantage is the high power of pneumatic motors with a small size and weight.
In other words, pneumatic tools provide high labor productivity with low staff fatigue.
However, for long-term and productive operation of pneumatic tools, it is necessary to comply with the technical requirements, which indicate the lubrication regime and recommended lubricants.
It is best to regularly, before each work shift, bury 2-5 drops of special oil in the inlet fitting of the tool. This is the easiest way to keep your air tool in good condition.
However, there is another way - to install a mini-lubricator or an air preparation unit on the device. For pneumatic tools, it is recommended to use a special oil with special additives, because. any other industrial oils adversely affect the rubber parts of the tool.
In addition to oil sprayers, there are other systems for lubricating with compressed air oil mist. The oil mist thus obtained has a high degree of homogeneity with a particle size of 0.3-2 µm. This greatly reduces oil consumption and also supplies lubricated air to devices up to 500 m away.
Mobil Almo is a paraffin-based mineral oil with emulsifiers, anti-wear, adhesion and anti-corrosion additives.
The product is designed to protect against aging and corrosion in rotary hammers and other pneumatic tools.
Mobil Almo air tool oil meets all tests and specifications designed for oils used in heavy duty mining applications. It is approved by Ingersoll Rand Company, Joy Manufacturing Company and other companies.

Many manufacturers offer special tools to facilitate various tasks of the same type. These include screwdrivers, wrenches, riveters, staplers, nail guns, etc.
They are available in different versions as mechanical, electrical and pneumatic. For home use, when the volumes are small, devices based on the mechanical principle of operation are quite suitable.
But for professional use, especially for construction and repair work, one cannot do without electric and pneumatic tools. This is especially true of the nail hammer. With large-scale works, only they can provide the highest quality.
As well as any professional, the assembly gun is made taking into account high functional loading. Since this equipment is quite reliable, then, in principle, all maintenance consists in observing generally accepted measures and standards for operation and cleaning.
They are quite simple and consist in the removal of contaminants that periodically accumulate on working parts and careful handling. The tool must not be dropped. You need to make sure that water does not get into it. In a word, mechanical deformations and damages must be avoided.
All of the above can be attributed to any devices. As for the pneumatic nailer, here it is necessary to add that this type of tool needs to be lubricated.
This is done according to the manufacturer's instructions. Most often, this procedure consists in instilling a few (2-3) drops of oil into the connecting fitting before starting work. This manipulation must be repeated in the middle of the working day if the tool is actively used.
If there is a long break in work, it is recommended to put the same 3 drops into the nailer and make several shots to evenly distribute the oil. This will protect the inner surface from corrosion.
Like any pneumatic tool, the nailer needs proper lubrication. From the manufacturer's instructions, an ambiguous conclusion follows. Some recommend the use of mineral motor oil, while others suggest a special one made for pneumatics. From this it follows that both the first and the second may well fit or be replaced by one another.
From experience, it can be concluded that both engine and special oils are identical in their properties. A tool lubricated with either works equally well, showing no signs of wear or corrosion.
Although, if it is possible to purchase a lubricant for pneumatic tools, it is still preferable to take it, since it is designed specifically to work with this technique. In addition, it is not expensive both in terms of price and consumption.
Pneumoline in a car service or service station provides air delivery from the compressor to consumers, acting as a “circulatory system” of pneumatic tools. Another important function is to prepare the air for the tool to work. In this material, we will understand the device of the pneumatic line and select air preparation modules for the trouble-free operation of the tool.
Pneumatic line device
The following components are required to connect the final equipment:
Hoses directly affect the reliability of the line and the correct functioning of the tool. In order for the same wrenches to work in accordance with passport indicators, it is important to fulfill the following conditions:
1. A hose with the correct operating pressure and internal diameter has been selected. A high performance tool may have more stringent requirements for hose strength and capacity;
2. When installing the pneumatic line, the balance of the length of the hoses and the number of splitters is observed. The more branches are planned, the more carefully it is necessary to select the section of the distribution hoses and take into account the compressor performance;
3. Suitable splitters and quick-release connectors (BRS) are used.
The most tear-resistant reinforced oil and petrol resistant rubber hoses. These are difficult to damage even with a car wheel, but their price is the highest. More affordable hybrid-polymer models with good performance.
First of all, you should determine the section of the hose, which is selected in accordance with the recommendations of the tool manufacturer. In general, it is recommended to choose hoses with a diameter of 10 and 12 mm, so that there is no “bottleneck” later on. Two models with the same section may have different characteristics of strength and working pressure, so it is worth specifying these parameters for each item separately.
When operating a pneumatic line in a car service, it is useful to use the most flexible hoses, because the “oak” line will cling to everything, it will be easier to break and it is difficult to move it around the room. The bending parameter in the product characteristics is responsible for this property.
As for the shape, there are three options:
You can choose a suitable model in a separate section of the Garage Tools online store; Regardless of the shape and material of manufacture, it is not recommended to use hoses longer than 15 m, as this leads to loss of power.
Connecting the tool directly to the compressor outlet is fraught with premature corrosion and increased wear on the working mechanisms of wrenches and tire changers.
In order to avoid early repair and replacement, additional equipment for air preparation must be included in the pneumatic line:
A suspension of special oil is sprayed, which settles on the working mechanisms of the tool and reduces friction; The air in the factory or workshop contains too much excess moisture, impurities and dust, which freely enter the operating air compressor.
Impurities and moisture can be effectively separated by air filter driers that use copper alloy fine mesh as the filter element. Like any filter, it requires replacement during operation, as indicated by a change in the color of the filter element.
To remove excess moisture from the filter, there is a faucet at the bottom of the tank. Filter driers are connected at the beginning of the pneumatic line or directly at the tool.
Main differences:
It is typically 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" and must match the hoses used; There are special fine filters for painting equipment. They have several cleaning elements that work in series.
Garage Tools store offers Licota filters for a variety of equipment and purposes.
This is a small metal reservoir that sprays special oil into the passed air to lubricate the working elements of pneumatic tools.
If the lubricator is installed next to the compressor, hoses over 15 m long should not be used for efficient lubrication. Alternatively, an in-line lubricator can be selected and placed next to the end tool. This allows a longer hose to be used, but is inconvenient when working with nutrunners. The lubricator is always installed after the filter-drier, so as not to interfere with its operation and not cause premature clogging.
When choosing a lubricator, pay attention to the thread sizes (1/4", 3/8" and 1/2"). Depending on the installation location, it should match the outlet of the compressor or end tool.
Since proper air preparation is impossible without the simultaneous use of filter driers and lubricators, when installing the pneumatic line, it is logical to combine them in one housing with a single connection. Such a device is called a modular group or filter lubricator and may additionally include an air pressure regulator and a pressure gauge.
Filter-lubricators differ in the cross-section of the threaded connection, on which the throughput of the device directly depends. Therefore, for high power impact wrenches, modular groups with 3/8" or larger threads should be selected.
Pneumatic couplers are often referred to as air tees or air hose tee fittings. Splitters allow you to connect additional lines to the main outlet of the compressor for the simultaneous operation of several pneumatic tools.
Air tees are divided into two types:
To connect the terminal equipment, it is customary to use quick couplings (BRS). With their help, you can quickly and reliably connect a wrench, spray gun and other equipment. BRS also allows you to disconnect the pneumatic tool from the line without stopping the air supply. A herringbone or threaded connection is used as a fitting.
There are two types: “BRS dad” and “BRS mom”. Most often, male fittings are installed on pneumatic tools, and the female connector is screwed onto the hose to the compressor.
When using powerful nutrunners and other productive equipment, it is important to select a coupling with a high capacity. Unlike the standard version, it is designed for high pressure and compressed air flow.
Proper organization of the pneumatic line is a prerequisite for the operation of an air tool at full capacity. In addition, the use of lubricators and filter driers avoids corrosion and prolongs the life of tire fitting equipment. Be sure to look at the article on choosing a compressor, it also has its own nuances.
How to increase the service life of pneumatic tools?
Is it possible to ensure uninterrupted operation of the nailer during the cold season in an unheated room?
· No, it is impossible to ensure uninterrupted operation of the nailer during the cold season in an unheated room! Since this leads to a decrease in the elasticity of rubber seals, thickening of the lubricant, which subsequently leads to air leaks and loss of tool power.
How to reduce the amount of condensate in the pneumatic system?
How to increase the service life of a reciprocating compressor?
At ambient temperatures above 30°C, it is recommended to take air from outside the room or take special measures to reduce the temperature of the air surrounding the compressor! DO NOT use the compressor at an ambient temperature below 0°C! 
If necessary, top up the compressor oil recommended by the manual to the medium level. Avoid oil leaks from the connections and oil on the external surfaces of the compressor! IMPORTANT! Only specialized oil with a viscosity of 100 mm2/s can be poured into compressor equipment. This oil is specially designed for compressor units, is optimal for the compressor operating mode and is safe in compliance with all safety requirements. What can be used to lubricate air tools?
Air tools can only be supplied with specialized air oil, with a viscosity of 32 or 46 mm2/s. This oil is not absorbed by rubber products and well protects tool parts from corrosion. NEVER USE ENGINE OIL! Engine and gear oils have a detrimental effect on the rubber seals in the tool!
How and how often to lubricate pneumatic tools?
The easiest way to lubricate is to drop 2-5 drops of special oil into the inlet fitting of the tool every shift. But sometimes the employee forgets to do it. In this case, it is necessary to install a mini lubricator on the tool or use an air preparation unit. Use only oil intended for pneumatic tools, which has special additives; the use of industrial grades of oils leads to intensive wear of the rubber parts of the tool.
Is it possible to work with a blocked (missing) air tool release safety?
Air tools equipped with a trigger safety device must not be operated with the safety device blocked! This is due not only to the safety of the worker and those around him, but also to the durability of the tool. When the trigger guard is locked, it is possible to descend without contact between the tool and the material being processed (into the air), while the striker of the tool, having a large kinetic energy of the shot, without meeting the resistance of the bracket when clogging, tends to break away from the piston, which abruptly stops (bounces) from the shock absorber. This often happens, especially in instruments with a solid mass of the striker (skeletons, studs).
During the operation of pneumatic equipment, it is necessary to control the receipt of clean air enriched with oil particles by the system. The filter is responsible for supplying and cleaning the air, but for the mixture is saturated with oily particles is a lubricator.
This attachment allows the air stream to be diluted with oil when sprayed, minimizing wear and extending tool life. This is especially relevant for masters who often use pneumatic equipment (service station employees, builders, workshop workers, etc.).
Models currently on the market are characterized by a self-contained design. The system at the same time allows you to adjust the supply of the oil mixture during operation, respectively, the pneumatic tool will receive exactly the volume of fluid that it needs.
During operation, the oil in the reservoir can also be adjusted. It is important to use exactly the type of consumables recommended by the manufacturer: the use of an unsuitable or low-quality oil mixture can lead to damage to this element and the equipment itself. Only with certain knowledge and skills can you repair the tool with your own hands. In other cases, it is better to turn to professionals.
This device is a container made of a metal alloy, which is put on the inlet of the pneumatic tool and fixed with a thread. The device is installed immediately after the drying filter. After the air mass enters the device, it is saturated with oil and sent directly to the tool.
The length of the hose between the instrument and the lubricator must not exceed 10-12 meters, otherwise the oil will be distributed inefficiently, and condensation will form on the walls, which adversely affects the efficiency of the application. In a situation where this hose length is not quite enough, you can use linear devices installed in front of the equipment.
These attachments also differ in the volume of the storage vessel a, material of manufacture and thread. In addition, the devices are multi-point and single-point, and their choice is made taking into account the conditions of the future application. In addition, according to the type of design of the device, there are two varieties:
The use of lubricators is mandatory for the full operation of pneumatic equipment. Their use is characterized by a large number of advantages:
Designs of this type must be selected, guided by the tasks and features of the application. You should pay attention to the following characteristics:
If you have any doubts regarding the choice, it is better to consult an experienced specialist. After buying a lubricator, you need to use only a certain oil mixture. You also need to prevent water from entering the fixture and from time to time look after the oil.
The price of lubricators depends on a number of factors:
The most profitable solution is to purchase a lubricator on the Internet. But first you need to decide what you personally need a lubricator for.
For Camozzi industrial pneumatics, lubrication is not obligatory, because during manufacture, a grease is laid, designed for the entire service life of the product. But if you do not use oil-moisture separators, then this samzka will eventually be washed out by moisture in the air. If additional lubrication (lubrication) is already supplied to the system, then its supply must not be stopped, because. this grease will also wash out the grease. The maximum amount of oil supply is 1 drop per minute for medium speed machines. The recommended oil viscosity is 32 cSt at 40 degrees. Celsius.
The use of oil sprayers (lubricators) is necessary in cases where the mechanisms are used in extreme conditions with a high frequency of operation - more than 40 times per minute, or with a high speed of movement - more than 1 m / s.
Each instrument on each air duct must be equipped with an air preparation unit, which consists of an oil-moisture separator, a pressure regulator, an oil sprayer (lubricator). Installation should be carried out as close as possible to the instrument (up to 5 meters) and above it vertically.
