I'm looking for some help on selecting a lubricant for some pneumatic cylinders. They're quite large and we run them very fast and at quite high pressure, 1000psi+. The high speed / high pressure combo makes hydrocarbons a big no-no. Use an oil lubricant and you're creating a powerful little compression engine with potentially disastrous results.
We run them very irregularly, maybe 10 cycles a year or less, so it's as much about storage as it is about lubrication.
Any suggestions?
