Industrial Applications
Grease Nipples are widely used in:
- Automotive industry: Lubrication points in suspensions, steering systems, universal joints, and bearings.
- Heavy machinery and construction equipment: In excavators, loaders, cranes, and tractors to ensure reliable lubrication without disassembly.
- Industrial machinery: Applied in gearboxes, pumps, motors, and conveyors for continuous maintenance.
- Railways and aerospace: Provide secure and consistent lubrication in critical assemblies where reliability is vital.
- Agricultural equipment: Used in ploughs, harvesters, and tractors for prolonged performance under heavy loads and dusty conditions.
Product Description
Grease Nipples, also known as Zerk fittings or grease fittings, are precision-engineered lubrication components that allow clean, controlled injection of grease into bearings and moving assemblies. By serving as a one-way valve, they prevent dirt, moisture, and contaminants from entering the lubrication point while enabling easy maintenance using grease guns. Available in different angles and thread sizes, they enhance machinery life and reduce downtime by ensuring consistent lubrication even in harsh environments.
