Filter, Regulator Lubricator Combos Overview A Filter, Regulator Lubricator (FRL) combo integrates three essential pneumatic functions into a single compact unit. It cleans incoming air, sets a stable downstream pressure, and delivers lubrication to tools and actuators. The result is improved tool performance, reduced wear, and simplified installation and maintenance. Key benefits Clean air protection: Removes particulates, water, and oil aerosols from the supply line to protect downstream components and extend tool life. Stable pressure delivery: Provides a constant, adjustable downstream pressure for predictable tool performance and repeatable results. Automatic lubrication: Delivers a controlled amount of lubricant to moving parts, reducing friction and wear on cylinders and tools. Space and cost efficiency: Combines three functions in one unit, reducing space, fittings, and potential leak points. Easy setup and maintenance: Straightforward adjustment, replaceable filter elements, and a replaceable lubricator reservoir support quick maintenance. Durable construction: Built from corrosion resistant materials suitable for typical workshop and factory environments. Compatibility and flexibility: Designed to fit standard pneumatic systems with common port sizes; available in configurations to suit varying requirements. What you get and how it works Integrated stages: A single housing that houses filtration, regulation, and lubrication functions in sequence. Filtration stage: A replaceable element traps particulate matter and moisture from the air supply. Regulation stage: An adjustable regulator provides a stable downstream pressure, with optional gauges on many models to aid setup. Lubrication stage: An oil reservoir feeds lubricant to the airflow at a controlled rate, ensuring consistent lubrication for pneumatic tools. Seals and materials: Constructed for durability with corrosion resistant bodies and dependable seals for longterm service. Port options: Available in different port sizes and thread standards; check the model's specifications for exact options such as common inlets/outlets. Typical specifications (modeldependent) Configuration: Inline FRL with separate filter, regulator, and lubricator stages. Materials: Aluminum or steel bodies with corrosion resistant finishes; durable seals. Filtration: Replaceable element designed for effective removal of particulates and moisture. Lubrication: Integrated oil reservoir with adjustable feed; lubrication suitable for a range of pneumatic tools. Regulation: Adjustable downstream pressure to suit tool requirements; typically includes a pressure gauge on many models. Port sizes: Various standard options available; verify the model you choose for exact port threads and flow capacity. Maintenance: filter element and lubricator reservoir as part of routine service; drain or bleed as required. 23 practical use scenarios Scenario 1: Assembly line tooling In a volume assembly line using airpowered impact drivers and grippers, the FRL combo provides clean, dry air and a stable pressure supply with automatic lubrication. This helps maintain consistent torque and smooth actuation, reducing tool wear and downtime. Scenario 2: CNC machining or precision punching For CNC peripherals and precision punching, the FRL unit ensures reliable pressure delivery and clean air to sensors and cylinders. The integrated lubrication reduces stiction and extends life of moving parts, supporting repeatable machining cycles. Scenario 3: Automotive body or general workshop On a workshop air system feeding sanders, drills, and spray equipment, the FRL combo supplies conditioned air, stable pressure, and lubrication to keep tools performing consistently, while minimizing maintenance points and space requirements.w Maintenance considerations Periodically the filter element according to the model's maintenance schedule. Refill or the lubricator reservoir as needed to maintain the desired oil feed rate. Check gauges (if present) to ensure downstream pressure remains within target range. Inspect fittings and seals for leaks; tighten or as required. Why choose this FRL combo Integrated solution that simplifies installation and reduces clutter in the work area. Provides essential air treatment, pressure control, and lubrication in a single, easytoservice unit. Built for reliability in standard industrial environments with materials and seals chosen for durability. Notes Port sizes, pressure range, and specific materials vary by model.
