A mist lubricator is a device used in pneumatic systems to introduce small amounts of oil into the airflow. This creates a fine oil mist that lubricates moving parts, reducing friction and wear while extending the lifespan of components.

A mist lubricator prevents wear on moving parts, especially in tools and cylinders that require lubrication to operate efficiently. It reduces the risk of rust, improves system performance, and minimizes maintenance needs.

The oil amount can be adjusted using a control screw on the mist lubricator. Proper adjustment is important:

Too much oil can cause buildup and contamination.
Too little oil can lead to increased wear and reduced efficiency.

It is essential to use the correct type of oil, typically a clean and lightweight pneumatic oil. The choice of oil depends on system requirements and manufacturer recommendations.
