This Airline Lubricator is designed to provide sufficient lubrication
to ensure smooth working and prevent frictional wear on the piston.
The obvious result of insufficient oil is frictional wear. The piston
in the average Rock Drill reciprocates about 1800 to 2000 times per
minute. Other internal parts move at corresponding rates, so frictional
wear can be considerable. Friction produces heat, and this is the factor
that causes real trouble. Despite fine metallurgy, lack of oil can
produce heat, sufficient to cause minute surface cracks that many result
in complete breakage of the parts, hence use of Air line lubricators.
Following are its technical specifications:
