Overview
The SMC AL50-N06-Z is a modular-style pneumatic lubricator designed for accurate lubrication of downstream compressed air equipment. Rated for 150 PSI maximum operating pressure, this AL50-series unit integrates seamlessly into pneumatic FRL (filter, regulator, lubricator) treatment systems. The unit delivers precise oil drop control and transparent bowl visibility, making it ideal for maintenance engineers and system integrators who require dependable air preparation components.
Key Features
- Modular design allows connection with other SMC air preparation equipment
- Transparent polycarbonate bowl with protective guard enables 360° oil level monitoring without disassembly
- Adjustable oil drop rate (default 5 drips/min at 0.5 MPa) for flexible equipment lubrication requirements
- Compact AL50 body size with 3/4 NPT port configuration
- Class 1 turbine oil (ISO VG32) compatible for pneumatic systems
- Lightweight, durable construction rated for -5°C to 60°C ambient temperature range
