Piston Rod Cylinders
Festo piston rod cylinders are robust, high-precision pneuma...
The Festo MS Series air lubricators are engineered to provide precise and metered lubrication for pneumatic components, preventing premature wear, reducing friction, and maintaining long-term system reliability. Designed to integrate seamlessly into Festoβs modular MS compressed-air preparation units, these lubricators support a wide range of flow rates and installation configurations.
The MS series stands out for its robust design, simple adjustment mechanism, and compatibility with diverse industrial applications requiring fine lubrication control.
β Important: MS Series lubricators ensure stable oil-mist delivery, long component lifespan, and optimal pneumatic system performance under continuous operation.
The Festo MS Series lubricators function by atomizing a controlled amount of lubricant into the compressed air stream, ensuring consistent distribution throughout downstream pneumatic components. This reduces wear on cylinders, valves, and mechanical interfaces, especially in high-speed or continuous-duty environments.
These lubricators feature:
β’ Adjustable oil delivery rate
β’ Visual fill-level monitoring
β’ Bowl guard options for enhanced safety
β’ Modular design for stacking with other MS units (filters, regulators, dryers)
Designed for precision and durability, they maintain stable lubrication even under fluctuating flow and pressure conditions.
β Important: The modular MS design allows effortless combination with filters, regulators, or dryers for a complete FRL system.
(Applied to lubrication coverage and system compatibility)
Ensures complete lubrication integrity across all downstream components.
Supports consistent atomization even at varying air consumption levels.
Designed to maintain lubrication stability regardless of direction changes, machine load, or flow variations.
(Translated as: sizes, bowl volumes, adjustment mechanisms, and configuration choices)
Available in multiple MS unit sizes (e.g., MS4, MS6, MS9) to match different air flow requirements.
Selectable specifications include:
β’ Different bowl sizes and materials (polycarbonate, metal)
β’ Optional sight glass for visual oil level indication
β’ Filler plug options for easy refilling
β’ Tamper-proof or lockable adjustments
β’ Choice of micro-fog or oil-fog lubrication types (model dependent)
These options ensure the lubricator can be precisely matched to the lubrication needs of actuators, valves, and complex pneumatic systems.
β Important: Wide configurability allows the MS Series to support everything from compact automation setups to high-volume production lines.
Internal metering technology ensures synchronous and proportional oil delivery relative to the airflow.
Stable mist generation prevents over-lubrication or under-lubrication, maintaining consistent component performance.
Optional flow sensors or monitoring units can enhance accuracy in sensitive applications.
β’ Extends the life of pneumatic cylinders and valves
β’ Provides stable lubrication even under varying system loads
β’ Features robust housings and bowl protections for industrial durability
β’ Easy integration with the MS modular air-preparation platform
β’ Low maintenance with convenient oil refill options
Applications: Packaging machines, handling systems, assembly lines, automotive production, machinery lubrication networks, and fast-cycling pneumatic equipment.
