GREASE NIPPLE
A grease nipple is a small, yet crucial component used in mechanical systems. It's designed to allow for the efficient and targeted application of grease to lubricate moving parts, such as bearings, gears, and shafts.
Key features and functions:
Thread: The nipple has a threaded end that screws into a machine's housing or component.
Channel: Inside the nipple is a channel that connects to the lubrication point.
Seal: A seal, often a spring-loaded ball, prevents grease from leaking out when the nipple is not in use.
Grease gun compatibility: The nipple is designed to fit a grease gun, which forces grease through the nipple and into the lubrication point.
