FAQ

  • Q What does the standard warranty cover?

    A One year warranty against defects in materials/workmanship, excluding wear and tear from improper use.

  • Q Can I lubricate pneumatic components myself?

    A Regulators/filters: Most are pre-lubricated and require no additional oil. Over-lubrication can damage seals.
    Moving parts (e.g., manual valves): Use a light, non-corrosive oil (ISO VG 32) as specified in the manual.

  • Q How often should I replace filter elements or seals?

    A Filter elements: Every 6–12 months in clean environments; monthly in dusty/high-contamination settings.
    Seals: Inspect annually for cracks/swelling; replace when signs of wear (e.g., leaks, hardening) appear.
    Pro Tip: Keep a spare kit (filters, O-rings) on hand for quick replacements and minimal downtime.

  • Q How to address oil carryover from an oil mist separator?

    A How to address oil carryover from an oil mist separator?
    Verify the filtration rating (upgrade to 0.3μm for fine oil aerosols).
    Check for excessive inlet oil concentration (ensure upstream lubricators are set correctly).
    Replace the filter element if past its service life (typically 5,000–10,000 operating hours).

  • Q What causes inconsistent pressure regulation in my system?

    A Check for:
    Inlet pressure fluctuations: Install a pressure stabilizer or larger air receiver tank.
    Worn regulator diaphragm: Replace with an OEM diaphragm kit (avoid generic parts).
    Loose connections: Tighten fittings or replace damaged O-rings/NPT seals.
  • Q Why is my filter bowl filling with condensate too quickly?

    A Possible causes: 
    No drain valve or auto-drain installed (add a manual/auto-drain for continuous moisture removal).

    Inlet air not pre-treated (install a refrigeration dryer upstream for high-humidity environments).
    Filter element clogged (replace or clean according to the maintenance schedule).
  • Q How do I set and lock the output pressure of a regulator?

    A Turn the adjustment knob clockwise to increase pressure or counterclockwise to decrease, using a pressure gauge for verification.
    Once set, secure the knob with the locking ring (if equipped) to prevent accidental changes during operation.

  • Q What are the best practices for installing pneumatic components?

    A Cleanliness: Flush pipelines with compressed air to remove debris before connecting components.
    Orientation: Install filters/regulators in the direction of airflow (follow arrow marks); mount regulators vertically for optimal diaphragm performance (unless specified otherwise).
    Torque: Use a torque wrench to avoid over-tightening (e.g., 12–18 N·m for G1/4 threads) and damaging threads.

  • Q What materials are suitable for corrosive or high-temperature environments?

    A Bodies: Stainless steel (316SS) for marine/chemical use; anodized aluminum for lightweight, non-corrosive setups.
    Seals: FKM (Viton) for high temperatures (up to 150°C) or oil resistance; EPDM for water/steam; NBR for standard air applications.
  • Q How do I choose the right pneumatic source treatment component for my application?

    A Prioritize key parameters:
    Pressure range (e.g., 0.5–16 bar for regulators, max inlet pressure for filters).
    Port size (G1/8, NPT 1/4", etc.) and thread type (parallel/tapered).
    Filtration efficiency (5μm, 1μm, or activated carbon for oil vapor).
    Environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, corrosive gases).
    Industry standards (food-grade, explosion-proof, or medical compliance).
