  • 1.  Air operated cylinders

    Posted 11-01-2023 10:59 AM

    I'm wondering how many people have PM programs for air operated cylinders? I've been in maintenance for most of my career and I know some manufactures do recommend lubrication PM's for their cylinders. I've worked for companies that had lubrication PM's for cylinders and they fell to the side because either of manpower or history shown that it wasn't worth the time for the PM's. Is there a industry standard for this? Thanks

    We only use lubrication free cylinders, in combination with an air supply that is completely dry.  SMC and CKD brands.
