Oiling system air pressure?

AF-METALS-TECH · Jun 26, 2009

VF-1 Behind the main air regulator there is another air regulator connected to an oiling system manifold, what is the air pressure supposed to be set at or is it even adjustable? Currently mine is reading at 60psi when the machine is running it seems a little high.

I think that is the spindle purge air pressure and it should be something like 18psi.

EDIT: Is this the gauge hidden way behind everything?

Thats it

I guess I will adjust it back down if I can, I guess some bearings are getting well lubed :crazy:

About 15-20PSI will do. Just had a tech out to put a new spindle in my SL20 because the solenoid supplying the air/oil lube failed. He said the pressure should be between 15-20 psi.
