How the GREASOMATIC works

HOW A GREASOMATIC IS FITTED
The lubricant outlet in the base of a GREASOMATIC has a 1/4 B.S.P. male thread so that it may be screwed by hand to fit tightly into a standard grease nipple socket. Adaptors are available to enable a GREASOMATIC to be fitted into sockets of other sizes. With the aid of extension tubes it can easily be installed at a distance from the lubrication point. This is particularly useful when it is desired to group a number of GREASOMATICs together on a panel for ease of access, or when it is necessary to isolate them from extremes of temperature or from excessive vibration. Other accessories enable two or more units to be coupled together in order to increase the supply of lubricant to a bearing. A GREASOMATIC will work in any position and need not be mounted upright - it can be mounted on its side or upside down. It can be fitted to rotating or moving machine parts and will work indoors or out of doors.

A GREASOMATIC will even work under water or encased in ice!

LUBRICANT FILLINGS
In principal, the GREASOMATIC may be filled with almost any type of lubricant required. However, many widely used greases of otherwise high quality are susceptible to oil-soap separation when subjected to sustained light pressure in a GREASOMATIC. This can lead to a serious curtailment of the GREASOMATIC's working life.

It is therefore essential to use only greases that have been tested and approved for use in the GREASOMATIC if the correct discharge rates and working lives are to be realised in practice.

Such considerations do not apply to oils or liquid lubricants and a GREASOMATIC filled with virtually any type of these will function satisfactorily.
