If you’re in the market for a central lubrication system, then you likely already know how important it is to have the right fittings. But did you know there are 20 different types of fittings to choose from? That’s right! From button head fittings to swivel elbow connectors, each type offers its own set of benefits and drawbacks. In this post, we’ll give you an overview of all 20 types so you can make an informed decision about which one is best for your needs. So buckle up and get ready to learn about the world of central lubrication system fittings!
Metering unit
1. Metering unit: Central lubrication system fittings are used to connect the grease lines from the pump to the bearings being lubricated. The metering unit is a vital component of the system that controls the flow of grease to the bearings. There are two types of metering units: block type and inline type. Block-type metering units are mounted on the side of the pump and have a block with check valves and ports for each bearing being lubricated. Inline-type metering units are mounted inline with the grease line and have one or more check valves and ports for each bearing being lubricated. Both types of metering units have an adjustable flow rate to ensure that the correct amount of grease is being delivered to the bearings.
Tubing
1. Tubing Tubing is an essential component of any central lubrication system, as it is used to transport lubricant from the reservoir to the points of lubrication. There are a variety of tubing materials available on the market, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The most common types of tubing used in central lubrication systems are listed below: 2. Nylon Tubing: Nylon tubing is a popular choice for central lubrication systems due to its low cost and easy installation. However, nylon tubing is not as strong as other types of tubing and may become brittle over time. 3. Stainless Steel Tubing: Stainless steel tubing is more expensive than nylon tubing, but it is also more durable. Stainless steel tubing is resistant to corrosion and can withstand higher temperatures, making it ideal for use in demanding environments.
Flex hose
Flexible hoses are used in a variety of applications where a higher degree of flexibility is required than that of a rigid pipe. Flex hoses are commonly used to connect moving parts, such as motors and actuators, to stationary components in equipment such as pumps and compressors. Flex hoses are also often used as drain lines or for conveying abrasive materials. There is the braided hose that is widely used to deliver grease. The Braided flex hose consists of a central core surrounded by one or more layers of braided wire or cloth. The wire or cloth provides support for the core and helps to prevent the hose from kinking or collapsing when it is bent. It could reach 800kgs without any problem.
Pushing connect
There are many different types of central lubrication system fittings, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The most common type of fitting is the push-connect fitting. Push-connect fittings are easy to use and require no special tools or skills to install. They are also relatively inexpensive and widely available. However, push-connect fittings can be difficult to remove and may leak if not installed properly. The common size is 4mm or 6mm hose and the male thread is for M8 or M10 or Pt1/8 or Pt 1/4. Here is our sketch drawing.
45-degree elbow coupling
A degree elbow coupling is a type of central lubrication system fitting that is used to connect two hoses or pipes at an angle. The most common angle used for this type of coupling is 90 degrees, but other angles can be used as well. This type of coupling is often used in applications where space is limited and a 90-degree angle is needed to connect the hoses or pipes.
Straight coupling
There are three types of central lubrication system fittings: straight coupling, elbow coupling, and tee coupling. Straight coupling is the most common type of fitting used in central lubrication systems. It is a simple, two-piece fitting that consists of a male and female component. The male component has a smooth, cylindrical outer surface that is threaded on one end. The female component has a smooth, cylindrical inner surface with a matching thread pattern. When the two components are threaded together, they form a tight seal that prevents lubricant from leaking out.
Elbow couplings
Elbow couplings are used to connect two sections of pipe or tubing at an angle. There are many different types of elbow couplings, each designed for a specific purpose. The most common types are 90-degree elbows, 45-degree elbows, and 180-degree elbows. 90-degree elbows are the most common type of elbow coupling. They are used to connect two sections of pipe or tubing at a 90-degree angle. 90-degree elbows are available in various sizes and materials. 45-degree elbows are used to connect two sections of pipe or tubing at a 45-degree angle. 45-degree elbows are available in various sizes and materials. 180-degree elbows are used to connect two sections of pipe or tubing at a 180-degree angle. 180-degree elbows are available in various sizes and materials.
Female connectors
There are many different types of female connectors used in central lubrication systems. The most common type is the screw-type connector, which is used to connect two pieces of pipe or tubing together. Other types of female connectors include the barb-type connector, which is used to connect a piece of tubing to a male threaded fitting, and the compression-type connector, which is used to connect two pieces of pipe together.
Male connectors
There are several types of male connectors used in central lubrication systems. The most common type is the quick connect, which allows for quick and easy connection and disconnection of hoses. Another type is the compression connector, which uses a compression fitting to create a seal between the hose and the connector.
Swivel connectors
Swivel connectors are an essential component of a central lubrication system. They allow for the connection of multiple lines to a single point and provide 360-degree rotation to prevent line kinking. Swivel connectors are available in a variety of materials, including brass, steel, and stainless steel.
Pushing in connectors
Pushing in connectors: You can insert the lubrication system’s connecting hose into the quick coupler by pushing. Make sure that you push the hose all the way in until it is seated against the stop inside the quick coupler.
Thread Hose studs
There are two types of central lubrication system fittings: thread hose studs and quick disconnect fittings. Thread hose studs are the most common type of fitting used in central lubrication systems. They are simple to install and provide a secure connection between the hose and the Grease Gun. Quick disconnect fittings are also used in some central lubrication systems. They offer a quick and easy way to connect and disconnect the grease gun from the system without having to thread or unthread the hose.
Brass fittings
There are three types of central lubrication system fittings: brass, steel, and plastic. Brass is the most common type of fitting used in central lubrication systems. Brass fittings are strong and durable, and they resist corrosion better than other types of fittings. Steel and plastic fittings are also available, but they are not as common as brass fittings.
Carbon steel fittings
There are many types of central lubrication system fittings, but carbon steel fittings are some of the most common. Carbon steel is a strong and durable material that can withstand high temperatures and pressures, making it ideal for use in lubrication systems. Carbon steel fittings are available in a variety of sizes and shapes to suit your specific needs.
Tube/Hose Stud
Tube/Hose Stud: A tube or hose stud is a male threaded fitting that is used to connect a lubrication line to a port or nozzle. This type of fitting is typically made of brass or steel and has a hexagonal head for easy installation and removal.
Anchor bars are used to secure centralized lubrication system lines in place. They are typically made of metal and have a threaded hole in the center that is used to attach the line to the bar. The ends of the anchor bar may be flared to help keep the line in place or they may be left open so that the line can be easily removed for maintenance or replacement.
Compression Fittings Assembled
Compression fittings are the most common type of central lubrication system fittings. They are easy to assemble and can be used with a variety of tubing materials. Compression fittings typically have a nut that is tightened to compress the fitting onto the tubing. This creates a leak-proof seal that is ideal for high-pressure applications.
