Dust Covers, Swivel Unions and Bulkheads: Important Components of the Grease System
Accessories play a vital role in the effectiveness and service life of industrial grease systems. Fat Adder offers a number of important parts such as grease nipple covers, swivel unions, and bulkheads that add protection to and enhance the performance of your lubrication systems. These guard your machinery against ingression of contaminants, offer smooth operations, and flexibility in system design.
This blog will address the benefits related to dust covers, rotational fittings, and bulkheads in your grease system and how these grease components can promote system reliability and facilitate easier maintenance.
Why Dust Covers are Important for Grease Nipples
Grease nipples are essential parts in lubrication systems, providing an easy means of introducing grease into bearings and other vital components. These points are equally susceptible to dirt and debris that accumulate and sooner or later lead to contamination, causing eventual failure in machinery. Dust covers prevent contaminants from getting to the grease nipples for clean and effective lubrication.
Key Benefits:
Contaminant Protection: Dust covers prevent dirt, moisture, and other debris from entering grease nipples, reducing the chance of contamination. Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Fat Adder provides colored grease nipple covers to simplify lubrication point identification during maintenance. Dust Covers Available: GNCY: Grease Nipple Cover - Yellow; GNCR: Grease Nipple Cover - Red; GNCG: Grease Nipple Cover - Green; GNCB: Grease Nipple Cover - Blue; DC6MM: Dust Cap to suit 6mm push-in fittings.
These grease nipple caps ensure life extension to the grease system by enhancing the overall cleanliness and operational efficiency of your equipment.
Rotating, Swivel, and Banjo Fittings for Increased Flexibility
Rotating and swivel fittings in systems with movement or tight spaces are critical in order to maintain grease lines intact without causing wear or damage. These fittings provide flexibility and reduce stress in the grease lines.
Swivel Unions:
Swivel unions provide a 90-degree or straight connection, smooth grease flow while allowing oscillating movement.
SU1/8M: Swivel union, 1/8 BSP male x M10 female, 90 degrees (oscillating).
SU1/8MX1/4FSTR: Swivel union, 1/8 BSP male x 1/4 BSP female, straight (oscillating).
RU5001/8: Rotary union connector, 500 RPM, 1/8 BSP for rotating applications.
RU5001/4: Rotary union connector, 500 RPM, 1/4 BSP.
Banjo Fittings:
Banjo fittings allow grease lines to connect at 90-degree angles in tight areas where space is limited.
BF1/8BSP6MM: Banjo fitting, 1/8 BSP male x 6mm tube.
BFM10XM10: Banjo fitting, M10 male x M10 male x M10 female.
These fittings will keep your grease lines attached properly, even in areas that demand continuous movement or limited space.
Bulkheads for Safe and Flexible System Integration
Bulkheads are an important feature in the safe routing of grease lines through surfaces to protect the lines and safely mount them. Fat Adder has a number of bulkheads available according to tube size and system requirements.
Bulkhead Variants:
BH1/8BSP: Bulkhead nickel plated with 1/8 BSP female thread; includes 1/8 BSP grease nipple. BH6M: Bulkhead for 6mm tube compression fittings, with a 1/8 BSP grease nipple. BE906M: 90-degree bulkhead, 6mm tube x 6mm tube for tight installations. BH1/4BSPFXJICSS: Stainless steel bulkhead, 1/4 BSP female x 7/16 JIC male, for heavy-duty applications. Key Benefits:
Routing of Grease Lines: Bulkheads will allow grease lines to pass through walls or panels while providing a secure and guarded connection.
Corrosion Resistance: Options in stainless steel and nickel-plated offer excellent durability and corrosion resistance, hence being ideal for industrial environments that are harsh.
Variety of Sizes and Configurations: The availability is in both straight and 90-degree design formats, which support system layout.
These bulkheads ensure that the grease lines are well clamped and covered, thus limiting the possibility of damage and offering long-term reliability in the system.
Other Accessories for Grease Systems
Fat Adder also offers a number of complementary accessories to complete your lubrication system:
Pressure Gauge:
PG400-1/4BSP: Glycerine-filled pressure gauge, rated for 400 Bar, with a 1/4 BSP connection, thus helping you monitor system pressure and avoiding over-pressurization.
Closure Plugs:
PLUG1/8 : 1/8" BSP closure plug - seals off blanking grease ports to block the ingression of contaminants into the system.
These accessories can be added to your grease system to further optimize performance and minimize the risk of system failure.
