LUBESITE 560 Corrosion Resistant Grease Feeder, 6 oz. Capacity, 1/8 Inch NPT

LubeSite 560 automatic grease feeder is used to lubricate bearing housing at intervals to prevent downtime and reduce manpower. The unit uses silver, red or blue springs for normal, high-tension or low-tension applications, respectively.

Features:

• Comes with a nickel-chrome plated base designed for applications where corrosion resistance is required, such as chemical and food processing.
• Features a large grease reservoir that allows operation in remote locations or applications where continuous purging of the bearing is required.
• Utilises Venturi mechanism to regulate the amount of grease fed, eliminating the danger of blowing bearing seals.
• Comes with a large reservoir that ensures a steady supply of fresh & recycled lubricant to allow smooth movement of the moving components.
• Unit utilises NLGI grade 0 to 4 non-separating grease that reduces sliding and rolling friction and distributes the motion uniformly.
• Features graduated channels on the metering rod to adjust the flow of the lubricant.
• Incorporated with a spring-loaded plunger that helps in dispensing the grease at a defined pressure range of 1 to 5 PSI.

Compatible Accessories:

• LubeSite 900 Grease Refill Kit: These refill kits help this unit in easy refilling of grease at constricted spaces.
