LubeSite 200 Series feature a clear, polycarbonate reservoir and base. This design allows for a visual
inspection of the units’ internal workings. The 200 Series units should be specified for applications
with minimal vibration, impact, shock, high-torque or centrifugal forces. Units are assembled with
medium springs (three additional light and heavy springs are included in each box of ten). An extra
heavy (orange) spring is available for applications requiring the use of an extension or for higher
pressure flushing applications. LubeSite unit 260 is individually boxed with a light (blue) and heavy
(red) spring.
Application
LubeSite 200 Series can be used on any equipment that has:
+ Anti-friction oscillating, ball or roller bearings
+ Shielded bearings with seals
+ Bronze, oilite or open bearings
+ Requires bearing flushing action
Operation
LubeSite automatic grease feeders have only two moving parts (spring, piston with metering rod and
piston seal ring). The design combines foolproof simplicity with rugged component strength for
dependable, controlled lubrication.
The graduated channels in the meter rod allow the bearing to use grease as required. Once the
reservoir is filled and the unit is connected to a bearing, the single-point lubricator uses Venturi
action to discharge lubricant only when the bearing is in motion. Thus, grease is never packed into the
bearing. This benefits manufacturers that will have some planned machine downtime, because
over-lubrication is eliminated. Because the single-point lubricator only generates 1-5 psi it will not
blow bearing seals. When the bearing stops, so does the grease flow.
