Open Gear and Chain Grease
Tackier than gear box grease, this grease sticks to open gears and roller chain. It resists moisture for corrosion protection and can lubricate under heavy loads.
NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 3 is about the consistency of vegetable shortening.
Mineral-oil-based grease, derived from petroleum, is more economical than synthetic-oil-based grease.
Grease with lithium thickener offers good heat and moisture resistance. Grease with asphalt thickener is thicker for excellent adhesion to chain and open gears. Grease with zinc neutralizes acid and is a good replacement for leaded grease.
Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range. Melting temperature is the point at which grease will fail and run out of equipment, leaving it to run dry.

Food Industry Open Gear and Chain Grease
For use in food-processing and preparation areas, this grease is NSF registered H1 or meets FDA Compliant 21 CFR 178.3570 for incidental contact with food. It's tacky to stick to open gears and roller chain.
NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 3 is about the consistency of vegetable shortening.Synthetic-oil-based grease has longer-lasting performance than mineral-oil-based grease. Made with PTFE thickener, it has excellent heat and moisture resistance. It is best for low-speed, high-torque gears and chain.
Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range. Melting temperature is the point at which grease will fail and run out of equipment, leaving it to run dry. Nonmelting grease can be used at temperatures above the maximum temperature briefly, but then will break down more quickly.

Grease Dispensers
A spring delivers a constant, low-pressure flow of grease to your lubrication point, so it never runs dry. They’re best for applications with consistent temperatures, so the viscosity of the grease won’t change how quickly it flows. However, they shouldn’t be used in precision applications because the tension of the spring may change, causing the dispensing rate to change. Mount them close to the lubrication point. They have a standard grease fitting, so you can choose what grease to use, unlike prefilled dispensers. The grease fitting helps close the system to keep out dust and contaminants in dirty environments such as mills. Use grease fitting adapters to match your lubrication point.
Dispensers with a clear plastic bowl make it easy to see how much grease is left and whether the dispenser is working properly. These dispensers come with three different adjustment springs to fit your dispensing needs.
Dispensers with a steel bowl are more durable than dispensers with a plastic bowl, so they’re the better choice if there's vibration or impact.
Plastic housings are an economical choice when there's minimal vibration. Aluminum housings withstand vibration, shock, and impact. Nickel-chrome-plated aluminum housings resist corrosion better than plastic and aluminum dispensers.
Remote-mount springs (sold separately) provide extra pressure when using thick grease at a distance.
Remote-mount kits include a mounting bracket, tubing, and fittings.

Multiple-Outlet Precision Motor-Driven Grease Dispensers
Send precise amounts of grease to multiple lubrication points at regular intervals, so each point will always have the grease it needs. These dispensers have a pump for each outlet, so they can send different amounts of grease to each lubrication point. It also means the lubrication points can be different distances from the dispenser. Because they’re motor driven, they’ll dispense correctly even if temperature changes affect the grease consistency. They’re also unaffected by back pressure. Unlike spring- and gas-driven dispensers, they don’t need to be mounted close to their lubrication points. To prevent over-lubrication when your machine is down, there’s a button to cut off the flow without uninstalling the dispenser. You can also integrate them into a system that’s controlled by a PLC and program them to only grease when your machine is running and not when it's down. This is useful for systems with intermittent downtime.
Use the digital display to input your flow settings. It also shows you the grease levels and the time until the dispenser empties, helping you plan for maintenance. Lights indicate the status of your dispenser, so you can see at a glance if it's operating. If it's not operating correctly, you'll see error and feedback messages on the display.
To match your lubrication point, use grease fitting adapters.
IP68 rated dispensers are dust tight and seal out water from temporary submersion.
Empty cartridges can be filled with the grease of your choice. Attach a cartridge filling adapter (sold separately) to make the filling process quick and mess free. Grease-filled cartridges save you from the mess and contamination risk that comes with filling a grease cartridge yourself. They also reduce the chance you’ll fill a lubrication point with the wrong grease.
Mobil Polyrex EM grease handles moderate loads at high speeds, making it a good choice for electric motor bearings in fans, pumps, and dryers. White mineral grease is NSF registered H1, so it’s safe for incidental contact with food. Red mineral grease is great for a wide range of bearings because it resists wear. Semisynthetic grease works with most machinery.
Grease with a polyurea thickener has excellent heat resistance and good moisture and oxidation resistance. Grease with a lithium thickener offers good heat and moisture resistance. Grease with an aluminum thickener has good moisture resistance and excellent oxidation resistance.
