Product Information

Thread - Grease fittings have two common thread types, tapered and parallel. If the thread diameter becomes narrower towards the bottom, then it's a tapered thread. If the thread diameter is straight all the way down, it's a parallel thread. Safety vent fittings - Safety vent fittings are similar to standard grease nipples; however they have a vertical slot that serves as an air vent as grease is applied. This also lets users know when enough lubricant has been applied, as it will begin to flow out the slot. Delivery mechanism - These come in a range of choices, from a fixed tube or flexible hose to couplers and adapters. All have benefits depending on the machine location, operation type and user preference. Commercial grease fitting cleaners are available to help unclog grease nipples and fittings. Additionally, users can heat up the fitting to soften and help shift the clogged grease. Flush fittings - Flush fittings boast a low-profile design that is useful in situations where clearance between moving parts is a necessity. They are typically used in low-clearance mechanisms such as pulleys and shafts.

Don’t mix old and new greases - use only the correct type of lubricant for the job and parts you’re working withGrease guns can be adapted to each machine with different connectors, couplers and hoses to reach into tight spaces located centrally and out of reach. An important part of machine maintenance is the careful and precise application of lubricating grease. Over or under greasing mechanical components can cause a wide range of issues that include overheating, premature wear, and costly damage. In aiming to better understand how a grease gun works, people may wonder why it’s called a grease gun in the first place. The simple answer is that the tool’s shape and basic mechanisms give rise to the name. Size - An obvious consideration but an important one, nonetheless. Grease fittings that are too big or too small will not work effectively.

Battery-powered grease guns - The core mechanism of battery-powered grease guns is similar to the above models, except that the on-board batteries provide the power to create the required pressure build-up (rather than the user having to do so manually or via external means) Grease nipples are designed to prevent unnecessary mess or spillage when applying grease. They are commonplace amongst a range of applications, including: The standard features of any grease gun tool - triggers, hoses and so on - tend to be fairly consistent across the full range of options for different formats and models. In other words, nearly all the different types of grease guns look fairly similar, regardless of whether they’re entirely manual, air-fed, battery-powered, or operated with a hand pump mechanism. Grease nipples are incredibly important for dispensing lubricant exactly where it needs to be. They also provide a visible point of entry for maintenance and lubrication, giving engineers peace of mind that the lubricant they apply will go exactly where it is needed without spillage.

Fundamentally, a grease gun is a hand-held pumping device that delivers lubricating grease into rotary bearings and other mechanical parts that are located deep inside machinery. They do an essential job in ensuring the smooth operation of moving parts and maintaining the optimum health of a machine. Material - Grease nipples are generally available in steel, brass, carbon steel, stainless steel, and Monel®. The material will affect the strength and overall longevity of your grease fitting. Lever grease guns - Also called manual grease guns, this type is operated via a simple pressure trigger mechanism, enabling the user to control force and flow rate through their own physical squeezing force An unsung hero in manufacturing and maintenance, the grease gun lubricates mechanical parts to ensure the optimum performance of machinery. Designed for control and precise application, a grease gun can be upgraded with various connectors and adapters to create the perfect lubricant delivery system for each machine. Available in a variety of operational types, users can choose from hand-powered, battery, or pneumatic grease guns. Hand-powered and battery grease guns allow for cable-free working, while pneumatic guns feature hose attachments, but are more powerful.
