FAQs
What type of air tools is Morris Lubricants Airforce EP22 suitable for?
It is recommended for air tools of all types, including road drills, jack hammers, air speed saws, torque wrenches, air motors, pneumatic rams, and cylinders.
What is the primary benefit of using Airforce EP22?
Its primary benefit is providing excellent protection against wear and corrosion for air tool components, extending their lifespan and maintaining performance, thanks to its strong anti-wear and EP additives.
Does Airforce EP22 help improve the working environment?
Yes, it contains a vital antifogging agent to minimize oil mist in the air, contributing to a healthier working environment.
How does this oil handle moisture?
Airforce EP22 has excellent demulsibility characteristics, facilitating rapid release of air from the oil, and also possesses resistance to water washing, protecting components from corrosion.
Can I use this oil in any air compressor?
While primarily designed for air tools, it's recommended for the lubrication of air motors and pneumatic components. For the compressor itself, a dedicated compressor oil of the appropriate viscosity is usually required. Always check your compressor manufacturer's recommendations.
What does 'low viscosity' mean for my tools?
Low viscosity means the oil flows easily. This is beneficial for high-speed air tools as it allows the oil to quickly reach all moving parts and provide effective lubrication without excessive drag.
What is the purpose of the distinct color?
The distinct color is for ease of identification, helping to ensure that the correct lubricant is used and simplifying inventory management.
Troubleshooting
Reduced tool performance or wear
Check the air line lubricator for correct oil level and dosage. Ensure the oil is flowing properly and that there are no blockages in the lubricator or air line. Verify that the correct viscosity oil is being used for the tool's requirements.
Excessive oil mist in the air
Reduce the dosage setting on the air line lubricator. Ensure the antifogging agent is functioning correctly; if the issue persists, the oil may be breaking down due to extreme operating conditions or contamination.
Visible rust or corrosion on air tool components
Verify that the oil has adequate rust and corrosion inhibitors. Ensure the oil is not being washed away by excessive moisture and that the oil's water-washing resistance is sufficient for the operating environment. Check for proper oil film coverage.
Oil foaming in the lubricator or system
The antifoamant additive should prevent this. If foaming occurs, it may indicate a contaminated oil supply or an unusual operating condition. Check the oil source for contamination and ensure the oil is within its shelf life.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Offers excellent component protection due to strong anti-wear and EP additives.
- Ensures efficient lubrication delivery through superior mist-forming properties.
- Maintains performance in high-temperature applications due to oxidation and thermal degradation resistance.
- Protects against rust and corrosion, vital for pneumatic systems.
- Improves safety and working environment with antifogging and antifoaming agents.
- Easy to identify due to its distinct color.
Cons
- Low viscosity may not be suitable for all types of compressors or older equipment that require a higher viscosity oil.
- The distinct color, while aiding identification, might be undesirable in applications where oil visibility is a concern.
- Requires specific disposal procedures due to its specialized additive package.
- May have minimal oil carryover, which could impact separator life if not managed correctly.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Airforce EP22 is typically used in automatic lubricators attached to air lines or directly injected into the air stream. Ensure the lubricator is compatible with low viscosity oils and is set to the manufacturer's recommended dosage for your specific air tool. Over-lubrication can lead to excessive oil carryover and potential contamination of downstream equipment.
Compatibility:
This oil is recommended for air tools of all types, including road drills, jack hammers, air speed saws, torque wrenches, air motors, pneumatic rams, and cylinders. It is also suitable for general lubrication in industrial applications where a low viscosity, high-performance oil is required. It is generally compatible with most downstream equipment and seals commonly found in pneumatic systems. However, always consult your tool manufacturer's specifications to confirm compatibility, especially if using with older equipment or specialized materials.
Care:
Store Airforce EP22 in its original container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent contamination.
Regularly check and clean your air line lubricator to ensure optimal performance and prevent blockages. Monitor oil levels and replenish as needed.
Due to the specialized additives, dispose of used oil and empty containers according to local environmental regulations. Do not discharge used oil into drains or waterways.
