Component Specifications

Definition
A grease fitting port is a threaded or press-fit interface component designed to accept grease fittings (zerk fittings) for controlled lubricant delivery. It serves as the entry point for grease guns to inject lubricants into bearing housings, pivot points, and sliding surfaces within industrial machinery. The port maintains sealing integrity while allowing periodic maintenance without disassembly.
Working Principle
The grease fitting port operates as a controlled access point that connects external lubrication equipment to internal lubrication channels. When a grease gun coupling engages the fitting, hydraulic pressure forces lubricant through the port into designated cavities. A check valve or ball mechanism prevents backflow and contamination while maintaining internal pressure.
Materials
Carbon steel (AISI 1018/1020), stainless steel (304/316), brass (C36000), or alloy steel with corrosion-resistant plating (zinc, nickel, or chrome)
Technical Parameters
  • Mounting Threaded, weld-in, or press-fit
  • Seal Type O-ring, tapered thread, or metal-to-metal
  • Thread Type 1/8" NPT, 1/4" NPT, M6x1, M8x1.25
  • Pressure Rating Up to 10,000 psi (690 bar)
  • Temperature Range -40°C to 200°C
Standards
ISO 6149, DIN 71412, SAE J514

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a grease fitting port and a grease fitting?

The grease fitting port is the fixed receptacle installed on machinery, while the grease fitting (zerk fitting) is the removable component that attaches to the grease gun. The port provides the threaded interface, while the fitting serves as the coupling mechanism.

How often should grease fitting ports be inspected?

Inspect ports during routine maintenance cycles (typically every 250-500 operating hours). Check for thread damage, contamination, seal integrity, and proper alignment with lubrication channels.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
