LubeSite 205 grease feeder is designed for applications with minimal vibration, impact, shock, torque or centrifugal forces. It is ideal for bearing housing operating under static conditions. It prevents machine failure due to over / under-greasing and keeps the bearings on motors, conveyors, fans & other critical machine parts lubricated.
Working Mechanism:
- There are only two moving parts in this grease feeder - a spring and a piston with metering rod & piston seal ring.
- The metering rod's graduated channels allow the bearing to use grease as needed.
- After filling the reservoir and connecting the unit to a bearing, the single-point lubricator uses Venturi action to discharge lubricant only when the bearing is in motion.
- The grease flow stops when the bearing stops.
Features:
- LubeSite 205 grease feeder features a clear polycarbonate reservoir & base to provide visual inspection of the unit's internal working.
- It comes assembled with medium springs, along with an extra-heavy spring, to facilitate high-pressure flushing.
- The single-point configuration is capable of generating 1 - 2 psi pressure, using Venturi action to discharge lubricant / grease only when the bearing is in motion.
- It should be used with NLGI Grade 0 to 4 non-separating grease.
Compatible Accessories:
LubeSite 900 Grease Refill Kits: They work with all polycarbonate and high-temperature grease feeders. These kits contain all necessary fittings and 10 ft of high-pressure polyethylene tubing.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How do you install LubeSite grease feeder?
A.
- Remove the grease fitting from the machine or bearing housing. Check that the grease fitting's thread measures 1/8 inches.
- Connect a grease gun to the side grease fitting to fill the LubeSite unit with non-separating grease until it runs out of the base coupler.
- To ensure there are no air pockets, the first filling may be above the caution line.
- Install the unit on the equipment right away.
- Do not overfill as it can cause over-pressure, which can lead to separation of the top from the base and hence, serious head or eye injuries.
- Screw the LubeSite assembly into the grease fitting hole directly.
- The unit can be refilled while still attached to the equipment. This step should be completed before placing the seal ring on top of the base.
- Users can simply attach the grease gun to the grease fitting and refill it until the seal ring reaches the bottom edge of the caution label.
