The Importance of Lubrication

Lubrication is more than simply an additive to

a machine; it is an integral component of that
machine and therefore should be closely mon-
itored to ensure it maintains its quality.

Lubrication is essential
to all the moving parts,
especially bearings, and it
also serves to carry away
heat and protect bearing
surfaces from corrosion
and wear.

The products in this brochure are designed to handle the harsh

environment associated with lubrication. Parker engineers have
designed these hoses, fittings and accessories based
on safety and ease of use.

Plant Services magazine estimates that 90% of all bearings are hundreds of dollars in
lubricated with grease, and 80% of bearing failures are lubri-
cation related. Proper lubrication is essential to extending the
operation waste by
life of a bearing. Grease serves three main purposes: providing
lubrication, preventing wear (or damage) from contaminants
eliminating gallons of
and inhibiting corrosion. unnecessary 'in-line'
grease versus larger
bore rubber hose.

CRule of thumb:
If a grease fitting is not
Excessive Downtime visible, it is likely not being
properly lubricated!
Grease zerk nipples are often inaccessible on today’s crowded equipment. As a
result, preventive maintenance takes too long to complete or is not completed at all.
A maintenance person can easily spend 5 to 7 minutes reaching an inaccessible grease
zerk and still not inject enough grease into the bearing. Poor lubrication and bearing
selection account for approximately 34% of premature bearing failures and contamination
accounts for another16% of premature bearing failures. This results in excessive downtime,
costly replacement of damaged components and lost productivity. Awkward positioning of
grease fittings also creates the dynamics to induce a high-pressure grease injection injury.

Parker's Solution
Parker’s HLB remote grease hose makes it easy to properly perform quick and effective
preventive maintenance on all types of industrial, mobile, and transportation equipment.
These lines connect grease port locations to a convenient service access panel where grease
can be manually distributed throughout the machine. HLB hose utilizes a panel mounted hose
fitting with integral zerk fitting port. Locknuts, zerk nipples, and caps can also be sub-assembled.

Multitube® Pre-Assembled Bundles
Tube Lines for Automatic Lubricators

Customers are looking for their equipment to be designed to provide

a relatively simple and inexpensive method to automate the lubrication
process. It is key to be able to reduce the installation time and material
costs. Installing lubrication lines on a piece of equipment can be a time
consuming and tedious task. The technician working on the installation
will have various lubrication lines to route.

Parker’s Solution
Tubing provides the ability to meter small amounts of grease on systems. By utilizing the
jacketed tube design, end customers and users will be able to simplify routings and reduce
start time. There are opportunities to lower the amount of scrap and order quantities, as well as
the advantage of inventorying only one part number.

Bundled Tubing vs. Single Tubing

Installation simplicity ................................ up to 33% quicker to install

Low profile bundled tubing ................................ quicker routing

Jacketing tubing ................................ additional abrasion protection

General lubrication issues ................................ less grease is required for lube fill
