502, 505 and 560 also withstand chemically corrosive influences. The light-metal casings are nickel-chromium coated and the seals are made of chemical-resistant VITON.

• proven areas of application: chemical industry, food industry and nuclear technology
• The devices are supplied as standard with a 'medium' strength spring.
• Operating range: -25 to +120°C

Choose the right spring-strength

b) Spring strength
 

Each unit is equipped with a medium-strength spring because this spring strength is required for the majority of uses. In addition, weak and strong springs are supplied with each carton unit so that they are available when needed.

In order to determine which spring is necessary at what temperatures, it is necessary to know what lubricant is being used. The correct spring can then be determined with the aid of the following list:
 

Lubricant dispensers

c) Installation instructions
 

• Check the spring used:
  Does the spring strength match to the selection table?
• The lubricant dispenser is then screwed into the thread of the bearing.
  Prior to installation because no air cushions are then created between the bearing and the lubricant dispenser.
• The lubricant dispenser is then screwed into the thread of the bearing.
  The dispenser's screw-in connector has an R 1/8" external thread. Appropriate adapter pieces may have to be fitted.
• The lubricant dispenser can be installed in any position and operates interference-free, independently of its installation position.
  Line paths of more than 30 cm in length should be avoided.

Notes on lubricants

As a matter of principle, discussions about lubricants should not take place and should be prevented if at all possible, because the lubricant used by the customer will have been recommended by the lubricant manufacturer.

However, you need to know a few basic points because they are directly related to the function of the oil/grease cup. The most important characteristic of lubricants is their consistency. Only lubricants should be used whose individual constituents do not separate, i.e. the NLGI group, consistency class 0-4 (low base oil fraction). NLGI - the globally recognized group classification by the National Lubricating Grease Institute of America.
