Are Synthetic Lubricants Safe for Airtac 4V210-08?

Chemical Sensitivity: Choosing the Right Oil for 4V210-08

While the Airtac 4V210-08 is oil-free, some systems require downstream lubrication. However, the wrong oil can melt your seals in weeks.

1. The NBR Seal Conflict

The standard seals are Nitrile (NBR). Many modern "High-Performance" synthetic oils contain esters that cause NBR to swell, soften, and eventually disintegrate. This leads to a stuck spool or massive internal leaks.

2. The Recommended Oil

Only use **ISO VG32** turbine oil or its equivalent. Avoid any lubricants with "detergent" additives or ester bases. If you are unsure, visit Airtac-Shop.com for a list of approved pneumatic lubricants that won't compromise your 4V210-08 warranty.
