Modular elements are assembled on sub‐
base that delivers – through special
fitting‐ Air/Oil mixture or, as needed,
only oil.

The SMX Air/Oil has two inlets for compressed air connected to both the right and left outlets of
the base and one inlet for oil.
Oil accurately metered by SMX metering elements through the special “Air‐oil” fitting mounted on
the outlets of the base is injected into the air stream.

Just by changing the fitting on the outlet parts of

the SMX Air/Oil and on the lubrication points it
element
is possible to spray fine (atomizer fitting) or
course (spray fitting) Air/Oil mixture on the
bearing or to deliver oil (oil fitting) to other
friction points such as slides, gears etc.. this
means that in one assembly you can have the
three possibilities as mentioned above. The
Air/Oil system is economic because lubricant
quality is accurately metered and is independent
from oil viscosity.
The “Air/Oil” system is safe to use and is no

health hazard to the operator since no oil mist is

‐
Lubrication of high speed rotating elements, where a steady distribution of
small quantities of lubricant is required and is able to maintain, between
moving elements, the lubricating film which tends to be carried off by the high
centrifuge power.
Lubrication of machinery parts working at high temperatures where the
lubricant tends to be dried or burned
spray lubrication of chains or gears
Lubrication of slides and ways which require a thin film of lubricant all over
their surface
Lubrication of bearings which need protection for dust infiltration, water or
other damaging substances. The mixed air flow creates a slight over pressure
inside the lubricated element, preventing the ingress of other polluted bodies
Lubrication of point which cannot be reached by traditional lubrication system,
where only an oil spray a solve the problem.
