    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.
    Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range.
    Lithium Thickener—Grease with lithium thickener offers good heat and moisture resistance.
    Asphalt Thickener—Grease with asphalt thickener is thicker for excellent adhesion to chain and open gears.
    3 NLGI Grade—NLGI 3 is about the consistency of vegetable shortening.
    Mineral Oil Base—Mineral-oil-based grease, derived from petroleum, is more economical than synthetic-oil-based grease.
    Zinc Alloy Additive—Grease with zinc alloy neutralizes acid and is a good replacement for leaded grease.
    Melting Temperature—Melting temperature is the point at which grease will fail and run out of equipment, leaving it to run dry.

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Grease. Electrically Insulating Grease, Tube.

    Tube

    Also known as dielectric grease, use insulating grease to lubricate and protect electrical systems. It resists water and corrosion. This grease can be used on most rubber and plastic.
    Grease lubricates most efficiently below the maximum temperature.
    Molykote 5 Compound—Molykote 5 Compound is for use on insulators, bushings, and high-current switches.
    3 NLGI Grade—NLGI 3 is about the consistency of vegetable shortening.

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Grease Dispensers. Grease Dispensers, Steel Bowl.

    Steel Bowl

    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.
    Plastic Bowl—Clear—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.
    Steel Bowl—Opaque—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 Housing—Plastic housings are an economical choice when there's minimal vibration.
    Anodized Aluminum Housing—Anodized aluminum housings withstand vibration, shock, and impact.
    Nickel-Chrome-Plated Aluminum Housing—Nickel-chrome-plated aluminum housings resist corrosion better than plastic and anodized aluminum dispensers.
    Remote-Mount Springs—Remote-mount springs (sold separately) provide extra pressure when using thick grease at a distance.

    Tube

    Fluorocarbon and fluoropolymer thickeners add chemical resistance to this grease. It remains intact when exposed to water and most solvents and chemicals. Apply directly to plastic and rubber seals and O-rings to prevent drying and cracking.
    Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range.
    3 NLGI Grade—NLGI 3 is about the consistency of vegetable shortening.
    PTFE Additive—Grease with PTFE has small particles of PTFE that reduce friction and help the grease maintain its lubricity. It’s not for use with ketones, such as acetone and MEK.
    Melting Temperature—Melting temperature is the point at which grease will fail and run out of equipment, leaving it to run dry.

    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.
