LUBESITE 505 Corrosion Resistant Grease Feeder, 2 oz. Capacity, 1/4 Inch NPT

LubeSite 505 corrosion-resistant grease feeder can be mounted to machines & equipment to automatically dispense grease into moving machine components. It is ideal for maintaining proper grease levels without the need for manual checks. It prevents machine failure due to over or under-greasing, which can lead to a sloppy mess / breakdowns / loss of productivity. This unit keeps the bearings on motors, conveyors, fans and other critical machine parts lubricated.

Working Mechanism:

• There are only two moving parts in this grease feeder - a spring and a piston with metering rod & piston seal ring.
• The metering rod's graduated channels allow the bearing to use grease as needed.
• After filling the reservoir and connecting the unit to a bearing, the single-point lubricator uses Venturi action to discharge lubricant only when the bearing is in motion.
• Because it only generates 1 to 5 psi pressure, the single-point lubricator will not blow bearing seals.
• The grease flow stops when the bearing stops.

Features:

• LubeSite 505 grease feeder features an extra heavy spring for use when applications need extensions for heavy flushing.
• Its corrosion-resistant, double-plated nickel-chromium base makes it suitable for chemical and food processing applications.
• The single point lubricator uses Venturi action for releasing lubricant.
• The spring & piston with metering rod features a piston seal ring fabricated with chemical-resistant Viton.

Compatible Accessories:

LubeSite 900 Grease Refill Kits: They work with all polycarbonate and high-temperature grease feeders. The kits include all required fittings and 10 ft of high-pressure polyethylene tubing.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What kind of grease is compatible with LubeSite 505?

A. This model can be used with any NLGI 0 to 4 non-separating grease.

Q. How do you install this corrosion-resistant grease feeder?

A.

• Remove the grease fitting from the machine or bearing housing. Check that the grease fitting's thread measures 1/8 inches.
• Connect a grease gun to the side grease fitting to fill the LubeSite unit with non-separating grease until it runs out of the base coupler.
• To ensure there are no air pockets, the first filling may be above the caution line.
• Install the unit on the equipment right away.
• Screw the LubeSite assembly into the grease fitting hole directly.
• The unit can be refilled while still attached to the equipment. This step should be completed before placing the seal ring on top of the base.
• Users can simply attach the grease gun to the grease fitting and refill it until the seal ring reaches the bottom edge of the caution label.

Q. What happens if you overfill LubeSite 500 grease feeder?

A. Do not overfill it as it can cause over-pressure, which can lead to separation of the top from the base, and hence, serious head or eye injury.
