1 Filter, Regulator & Lubricator Combos Overview - An integrated unit that combines filtration, pressure regulation, and lubrication in one compact assembly. - Designed to protect downstream components, improve reliability, and simplify installation by reducing fittings and piping. Key benefits - Protects equipment: filters remove moisture, dust and oil from the air supply to extend tool life. - Stable operation: regulator maintains a consistent set pressure under varying load. - Smooth motion and reduced wear: built in lubricator delivers controlled lubrication to moving parts. - Space and cost efficiency: replaces multiple components with a single, compact package. - Easy monitoring and maintenance: elements are replaceable and drain options are available for straightforward upkeep. Function, compatibility and materials - Function: three stage FRL unit in one housing for streamlined air preparation. - Compatibility: designed for standard compressed air systems and common pneumatic fittings; port configurations vary by model. - Port sizes: available in typical configurations to match standard lines; check the specific model for exact thread options (including common sizes such as 1/4 in NPT, 1/8 in NPT, and metric equivalents). - Materials: body material and bowl options vary by model; bodies are commonly aluminum or zinc alloy; bowls may be polycarbonate or metal; fittings commonly brass or stainless steel; seals compatible with standard air duties. - Performance: regulator set point, filtration rating, and lubricator capacity are specified per model; performance depends on model selection and operating conditions. Size, weight and installation - Size and weight vary by model; select the size that fits available space and downstream flow requirements. - Installation: mount between air supply and downstream equipment; follow model mounting guidelines and use appropriate brackets or adapters as required. - Orientation and layout: ensure proper clearance for drain operation and easy access for maintenance. Maintenance and service - Replaceable components: filter elements and lubricator oil are replaceable; follow model specific maintenance intervals. - Drainage: choose manual or automatic drain variants as appropriate; verify drainage functionality during setup. - Inspection: check for leaks and verify regulator performance after maintenance or changes in line conditions. Use scenarios 1) Automation and actuation on a production line - Supplies clean, regulated air to pneumatic cylinders and grippers while delivering lubrication to reduce wear and friction in moving parts. - Benefits: consistent cylinder speed and force, extended tool life, and fewer leaks from moisture or oil intrusion. 2) Machining and tool benches - Provides stable pressure to pneumatic tools, with filtration protecting precision components from moisture and debris. - Benefits: steadier tool operation, reduced downtime due to contamination, easier tool maintenance. 3) Painting and finishing lines - Delivers filtered air to spray equipment with a regulated pressure and controlled lubrication for moving spray components. - Benefits: reduces defect risk from moisture and contaminants and protects spray gun and actuators from wear. Notes - Model variants differ in port size, bowl material, drain type, and lubrication rate. Refer to the specific product data sheet for exact specifications and compatibility.
