Importance of air pressure

It is our job to present to you maintenance tips & hints to help you get the most out of your rivet & nutsert installation tooling and keep them working for years to come. I will share with you the proper care and maintenance of your pneumatic, hydraulic and pneudraulic tools!

 Importance of air pressure 

pressure range that the tool should be operated within. This range is one of several elements an engineer used to develop the tool you are using.

Operating your tool at a pressure that exceeds this recommended pressure can cause a variety of problems. These can include damage to the seals, internal moving parts and can ultimately lead to premature failure of your air tool. Also, if you are using a Pneudraulic type tool (air over hydraulic) at a higher than recommended air pressure, air and moisture could be introduce into the hydraulic system. This would reduce the efficiency of the tool causing it to not set the fasteners correctly.

So, as you can see maintaining proper pressure is very important for overall tool performance and longevity. If for some reason it is necessary to keep your air supply at a greater than recommended operating pressure then you should use an in-line regulator that will reduce the line pressure to an acceptable level.
