AIR CONNECTIONS
For quick response, a short air line between the control
valve and the Conveyor Clutch is recommended. Where
long air lines are required, a Quick Exhaust Valve should
be used to insure rapid disengagement.
Locate air inlet in the six o’clock down position to allow
condensation in the air chamber to drain out of the
exhaust port.
NOTE: Rigid pipe or tubing when connected directly to
the Conveyor Clutch will prevent proper
actuation due to the necessary movement of the
air chamber and hose upon engagement. Use
flexible hose or tubing only.
Due to bearing seal drag, the outer portion of the
Conveyor Clutch will rotate causing hose breakage
when the Conveyor Clutch is engaged. Resting the air
line against a support that is mounted parallel to the
Conveyor Clutch center line stops this rotation.
LUBRICATION
Pneumatically actuated devices require clean, pressure
regulated, and lubricated air for maximum performance
and long life. The most effective and economical way to
lubricate Nexen Clutches is with an air line lubricator,
which injects an oil mist into the air chamber.
Locate lubricator above and within ten feet of the Clutch,
and use a low viscosity oil, such as SAE-10.
NOTE: Synthetic lubricants are not recommended.
LUBRICATOR DRIP RATE SETTINGS
1. Determine CF(See Chart 1).
2. Multiply CFby 0.30, (the Average Air Chamber Volume
of the “5H20-P” Clutch) to determine cu.in./ Min..
3. Divide cu. in. / Min. by 1728 to find cu. ft. / Min.
(SCFM).
4. Multiply cu. ft. / min. (SCFM) by cycles per minute.
NOTE: Nexen recommends one drop of oil every 20
SCFM.
5. Divide twenty by the result of Step 4to determine
time in minutes between drops of oil formed in the
Lubricator Sight Gauge.

HUB SPLINE
Although the Hub Spline has been lubricated at the
factory with a high temperature lubricant such as
NEVER-SEEZ® or equivalent anti-seize lubricating
compound. Nexen recommends periodic lubrication of
this component to insure smooth clutch engagement
and disengagement
NOTE: Clutch must be disassembled in order to
lubricate Hub Spline (See REPLACEMENT
PARTS for disassembly instructions.
