UNIST Airless Spray Nozzles are designed to apply lubricant without direct contact with the workpiece, making them ideal for in-die lubrication and applications requiring supplemental lubrication. Operating without compressed air, these nozzles deliver lubricant precisely where it is needed.
Particularly well-suited for water-based solutions and emulsions, these nozzles are available in various configurations, with different spray angles and orifice sizes. They can be used with the SmartFlow® programmable fluid controller to automate lubricant application according to process requirements.
UNIST Airless Spray Nozzles provide a versatile solution for applying lubricant to hard-to-reach areas or locations requiring supplemental lubrication during metal stamping and forming operations. Ideal for in-die or supplemental lubrication, these nozzles operate without compressed air and work best with water-based solutions and emulsions.
Sometimes additional lubrication is needed at specific locations within a die. UNIST Airless Spray Nozzles provide this supplemental lubrication exactly where it is required. When connected to the SmartFlow® programmable fluid controller, they can be seamlessly integrated into the lubrication profile of the operation.
Because these nozzles rely on the velocity of the fluid to create the spray pattern, their proper operation requires a fluid which is close to the viscosity of water. As a result, they work extremely well with water-based solutions and emulsions, but are generally not recommended for use with oils or viscous synthetic fluids. All Unist Airless Spray Nozzles have a fan spray pattern. The spray diameter and flow rate of the fluid are controlled by specifying the spray angle and the nozzle orifice size. The available spray angles and corresponding coverages are shown below.
Fan tip patterns include: 0°, 30°, 50°, 80°, & 110°
Orifice options include: 0.026", 0.031", 0.036"
This 10” [254 mm] Rigid Stainless Steel Nozzle includes a vertical mount that allows height and application angles to be adjusted
This 12” [305 mm] flexible plastic Loc-Line® Nozzle is easy to adjust, but less rigid than the other nozzle options
The Articulating Arm Nozzle provides rigid positioning and can easily be adjusted and locked in place with one knob
This nozzle rigidly attaches to the die. The slotted adjustment bracket allows for multiple nozzle positioning adjustments
Allows for permanent spray nozzle mounting to die
Stock applicators require a pressurized fluid supply. We offer a range of options for size and configuration.
