Wiper seals are typically used on hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders as well as telescopic suspension forks for motorcycles […]
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 much new […]
Grease Nipple Design. Grease fittings 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. The arrangement is thus essentially a valve that opens […]
