Grease gun
A grease gun is a lubrication tool that forces grease into grease nipples (lubrication fittings) installed on bearings and sliding parts by applying pressure. Grease is loaded into the body cylinder, and the piston is driven by lever operation or a motor to dispense it. Drive methods include manual lever type operated with one hand, electric type powered by a battery, and air type powered by compressed air. Grease is supplied either by loose filling or by cartridge loading, and an air bleed valve releases trapped air to prevent dispensing failures. It is used for factory equipment bearings, construction machinery, agricultural machinery, and other settings that require regular lubrication.

How to choose Grease gun
-
1. Select a drive method that suits the workload
Manual lever type is lightweight and requires no power source, but the operator's burden increases when there are many lubrication points. Electric type can dispense continuously at a constant flow rate and suits sites where many lubrication points are visited. Some listed electric models feature two-stage flow rates of low and high speed, or an alarm that signals nipple clogging.
-
2. Dispensing pressure that reaches seized nipples
High pressure is required for nipples where old grease has hardened, or for narrow lubrication paths. The maximum dispensing pressure during continuous use of the listed products is 300 to 400 bar, and some electric models reach 700 bar momentarily. Check that the pressure matches the resistance of the lubrication path at the point of application.
-
3. Understand the output per operation
Because the prescribed lubrication amount for each bearing is managed by the number of lever strokes, check the dispensed volume per stroke. The listed products range from 0.46 to 1.5 cm3, so lower-volume models suit fine adjustment of small amounts, while higher-volume models suit completing large-volume lubrication in a short time.
-
4. Check capacity and filling method
Grease capacity determines how often refilling is needed. The listed product has a capacity of 500 cm3. Also check whether it supports loose filling, cartridge loading, or both. Cartridge systems are less likely to allow foreign matter to enter during refilling and allow quick replacement.
-
5. Determine reach by hose length
A flexible hose is effective for nipples in recessed positions or narrow spaces. The listed products have hose lengths of 300 to 900 mm. A rigid dispensing pipe (175 mm) is easier to aim, but it is harder to reach through bent paths, so select according to the layout of the lubrication points.
-
6. Check the mass for carrying
Because the tool is carried and operated with one hand, its mass directly affects operator fatigue. The listed products weigh 1.3 to 3 kg, and electric types are heavier due to the included battery. If work is frequently performed at height or under vehicles, compare handling ease as well.
