Grease Nipples are permanently installed by a threaded connection, leaving a nipple connection that a grease gun attaches to. The pressure supplied by the grease gun forces a small captive bearing ball in the fitting to move back against the force of its retaining spring.

O Ring seals are unlike many other materials that design engineers confront. Metal or plastic parts, for example, are probably failing if visibly distorted. But an O-ring must be deformed to function properly. In fact, an O-ring that is not compressed in its application is the wrong O-ring. The following list provides some “rules of […]
Grease Fittings/Nipples Since the 1920’s, the ever-growing use of sealed bearings throughout manufacturing industries has made the use of grease fittings less common. Sealed bearings are lubricated for life at the factory, and are sealed in such a way that the lubricant is not lost or dirtied. However, grease fittings are far from obsolete, and […]
