What is a grease nipple?
A grease nipple is a metal fitting used in mechanical systems to feed lubricants, usually a type of grease, into bearings under moderate to high pressure using a grease gun. They come in various degrees for different applications: the 40-degree nipple is typically used in tighter spaces, the 90-degree for right-angle access, and the straight (0-degree) for direct-line lubrication. The stainless steel grease nipple M 6x1 mm is designed for optimal food-grade grease filling, ensuring that condensation is prevented in the bearing housing, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity and performance of the machinery.
