Overview 

The grease checker is a product that allows you to visually confirm that grease lubrication 

(centralized lubrication) is being performed accurately. It is a product that can visually confirm 
lubrication  failure  due  to  damage  to  the  lubrication  pipes  and  hoses  and  prevent  seizure  of 
bearings.

Composition 

The grease checker consists of the main body, an indicator for detecting grease supply, and a 

grease  nipple.  The  grease  checker  is  installed  behind  the  distribution  valve  for  centralized 
lubrication, and is used directly on the bearing or by connecting to the pipe near the bearing. 
When  grease  is  sent  to  the  grease  checker,  the  attached  indicator  will  perform  a  stroke 
operation and you can confirm that the grease has been sent.

The heat resistant temperature excludes grease deterioration. 

If  the  grease  does  not  flow  due  to  heating  for  a  long  time,  the  grease  may  solidify  and  an 
abnormality may occur inside the grease checker, reducing the cracking pressure and the indicator 
may not operate.
