Pneumatic air lubricators are utilized in pneumatic air preparation to deliver a fine mist of oil into an air line, providing lubrication to the internal components of pneumatic tools and devices like hydraulic cylinders, valves, and motors.
Why are pneumatic air lubricators essential?
By lubricating various moving parts—such as motors, pistons, gears, and sliding surfaces—pneumatic air lubricators help maintain smooth operation of a pneumatic system. This results in reduced friction, more consistent operation, and improved speed control, which enhances system efficiency while lowering both operational and maintenance expenses.
How to select the right pneumatic air lubricator
Choosing the appropriate pneumatic air lubricator depends on the specific application and the type of lubricant fluid intended for use.
The type of oil required for your pneumatic air lubricator usually follows the machinery manufacturer's recommendations. It is crucial to use only the fluids specified in the user manual, as using incompatible oils can negatively impact performance and potentially cause damage to your equipment.
The SMC large flow lubricators generate proportional oil delivery in 1-1/4-2 lines. AL430/460 micro mist lubricators produce an oil fog that remains suspended in the air stream over longer piping distances.

AL Series Modular Lubricator
Modular lubricators from SMC. The AL series of modular lubricators are interchangeable to meet your requirements. The improvements made to the AL series of lubricators means this range is lighter than before and the bowl guard is now transparent so users can easily monitor their unit.
Easy to install lubricators
Lighter and improved efficiency
Note
Transparent bowl guard is only available in body size 30 and over.
Filters, Lubricators and Separators
High flow capacity filters, lubricators and separators with polycarbonate bowls. All have an ambient and media temperature range of 5 - 60°C and a proof pressure of 15 bar.
The SMC auto feed lube makes lubrication work unnecessary, thus significantly reducing the amount of maintenance labour. The problem of running out of oil is prevented because the oil is fed automatically.
