Mini-Piggy-Back 9470 Positive Displacement Portable Tool and Motor Lubrication



Grand Rapids, MI: UNIST, Inc. is setting a new standard for lubricating cutters on portable pneumatic tools. The Mini-Piggy-Back is a positive displacement system for the lubrication of pneumatic hand tools used in manufacturing and assembly processes. The Model 9470 is light weight - less than 11 oz. when full - and small - just 3" long without fluid attachments and less than 7" long with the fluid cartridge attached.

The Mini-Piggy-Back can dispense a wide range of lubricants with varying viscosities. Fluid displacement can be adjusted from 0-.03cc/minute, and atomizing air can be adjusted or turned off for fluid only delivery. When UNIST Coolube® lubricants are used; the system contains an unconditional lifetime warranty on the injector pumps. The Mini-Piggy-Back 9470 may be attached to the tool body using a hose clamp or existing mounting stud. The system may also be configured with an optional safety guard.
