To provide an oil/air distributor which is reduced in an installation cost by reducing a variation of a lubricant quantity distributed to each oil/air supply piping, and compactly arranging the oil/air supply piping.SOLUTION: An oil/air distributor comprises a flow-in passage 15 into which oil/air flows, and a distribution member 25 for distributing the flowing-in oil/air to a plurality of lubricated devices. The distribution member 25 is liquid-tightly fit to a downstream-side internal periphery of the flow-in passage 15 at its external periphery. Branch flow passages 32 of multiples of 2 communicating with the flow-in passage 15, and arranged around a center axis of the distribution member 25 at equal intervals in a peripheral direction, and a communication passage 36 for making the branch passages 32 which oppose each other in a radial direction with the center axis sandwiched therebetween communicate with each other are formed at the distribution member 25. The oil/air mixed by the communication passage 36 is supplied to the lubricated device.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】各オイルエア供給用配管に分配される潤滑油量のばらつきを低減するとともに、各オイルエア供給用配管をコンパクトに配置することによって、設置のためのコストを低減したオイルエア分配器を提供する【解決手段】オイルエア分配器は、オイルエアが流入する流入通路１５と、流入したオイルエアを複数の被潤滑装置に分配する分配部材２５と、を備える。分配部材２５は、外周が流入通路１５の下流側内周に液密に嵌め合わされている。分配部材２５には、それぞれ流入通路１５に連通し分配部材２５の中心軸の回りで周方向に等間隔に配置された２の倍数の分岐流路３２と、中心軸を挟んで径方向に対向する分岐流路３２を互いに連通する連通通路３６と、が形成されている。連通通路３６によって混合されたオイルエアが被潤滑装置に供給される。【選択図】図４
