Technical Information
GREASE MAX® is a chemically operated automatic lubricator.
It is designed to be screwed into the bearing grease nipple seating, or onto an extension line, and to feed lubricant at a constant rate for a set period of time. There are 4 operating periods: 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. After the service time has elapsed, the unit is replaced with a new unit. Because it is self regulating it should be used in conjunction with the plant maintenance scheduling. Therefore changeovers of the GREASE MAX® can be planned and carried out at set periods.
GREASE MAX® operation is simple and trouble free. Quite frequently its capabilities are not at first appreciated because of it’s simplicity. GREASE MAX® can be used anywhere; on most applications, both large and small, even underwater. Importantly, GREASE MAX® has no electrical or mechanical components and has only one moving part, which is the piston. For this reason GREASE MAX® is extremely reliable.
Discharge time and replacement of GREASE MAX®
Once the quantity of lubricant needed per lubrication point and the average temperature are known, the correct GREASE MAX® unit can be selected from the table below.

Note: The average environmental temperature is the average temperature that occurs over the whole life of the unit.
Temperature variations above or below 25°C over a short period of time will have little or no affect on the overall life of GREASE MAX®. For example, periods of exceptionally hot or cold days.
The following shaft size can be taken as a guide
| Shaft Size | GREASE MAX® type |
|---|---|
| 100 mm – 160 mm | 1 mth |
| 60 mm – 100 mm | 3 mth |
| 30 mm – 60 mm | 6 mth |
| up to 30 mm | 12 mth |
Additionally, the following „rule of thumb“ may prove helpful
In terms of strokes per day from a small hand grease gun, output approx. 0.6cc per stroke, the GREASE MAX® discharge is roughly equivalent to:
| GREASE MAX® type | Strokes per day |
|---|---|
| 1 mth | 4 – 6 |
| 3 mth | 2 – 3 |
| 6 mth | 1 |
| 12 mth | 0.5 |
