Grease fittings for lubrication (grease fittings)

In all connections and systems where there is a need to supply oil or other grease, a grease gun is required for lubrication. Without it, in order to lubricate the parts, especially in hard-to-reach places, it would be necessary to completely disassemble the mechanism and do the work manually.

Grease dispensers are presented today in a wide range. They differ in diameter, material of production, type of thread, etc. Our website offers a large selection of parts from trusted manufacturers at competitive prices.

What is a grease fitting

A grease gun for injection is an important element for supplying lubricant to the rubbing surfaces of a bearing, assembly, mechanism, or unit. In its design, it resembles a valve, which is designed to supply various types of lubricant directly to sliding systems.

A grease fitting is a part that consists of a number of other elements:

• casing made of high-strength metal;
• the ball is predominantly made of stainless steel;
• springs - it is this component that is responsible for supplying oil or other lubricant; for this, manufacturers use a pistol or lever syringe.

The grease fitting is a consumable spare part for any system and equipment. It requires regular replacement, since it is constantly in contact with lubricants and oil, and over time can succumb to contamination and mechanical damage. To extend the service life of the grease gun, it is necessary to regularly inspect it and provide additional protection against corrosion.

Types of grease fittings

According to their design, grease fittings for lubrication are usually divided into 2 main categories:

• Direct. They have no rotation angle. Lubricant is supplied along the axis of the tube.
• Angular. Produced at different inclination angles. Most often these are 45 degrees and 90 degrees. Such grease fittings allow lubricant to be supplied to the unit at an angle to the axis.

How to choose a grease gun for lubrication?

Grease fittings are produced today in a wide range. Therefore, the choice of parts should be approached carefully. Before purchasing, pay attention to the following aspects:

• Diameter. It is selected based on where the grease fitting will be installed. Must fully match the base to which the part will be connected.
• Price. The oiler is a relatively inexpensive item. Despite its strength and durability, such an assembly element is inexpensive and is usually sold in packages of 100 pieces or more.
• Material. Steel is considered the most durable and wear-resistant material. It withstands contact with aggressive compounds, high humidity, a wide temperature range, etc.
• Thread type. The most airtight connection is provided by a grease fitting with a tapered thread.
