Air tube assemblies are used with all rotating MicroCentric air chucks. The rotary air coupling features a hardened steel journal and a maintenance free oil-lite bearing.

Rotary air tubes include a blank support bushing, air hoses and fittings. Length to be specified when ordering. Contact our sales department for assistance in determining the correct length for your application.

The FRL-15 is a combination air filter/regulator/lubricator unit that controls the air pressure to the chuck's built-in cylinder, and provides lubrication to the rotary air bearing assembly. This unit also filters contaminants from the air supply. Water that accumulates in the filter unit can be purged by a manual drain.

Each unit includes a pressure gage, as well as air hoses and fittings.

A rotary union is required to supply coolant through the air tube assembly, or for the AL-Automatic Lubrication option.

The rotary union threads into the rear of the air tube and includes a hose and fittings.
