Oil Lubricators

Description

The Gipfel Constant Level Oil Lubricator keeps the oil in a bearing housing at a fixed level, automatically replacing oil as it is consumed. The transparent borosilicate glass dome lets operators check the oil supply at a glance, and a metal cage protects the dome from accidental impact in plant environments.

It mounts directly on oil-lubricated bearing housings of centrifugal pumps and other rotating equipment through a 1/4″ BSP connection. A steady oil level and clean oil are prerequisites for long bearing life.

Technical Key Features

  • Constant level oiler for easy monitoring of the oil level.
  • 100 ml borosilicate glass dome, 5 mm thick.
  • Metal cage guard protects the glass dome.
  • Aluminium coupling, base holder and connector.
  • Stainless steel lock nut.
  • 1/4″ BSP connection to the bearing housing.
