Lubricator

A lubricator is a device used in lubrication and fuel dispensing equipment. It is part of the supply class Lubrication And Fuel Dispensing Equipment, which falls under the supply group Maintenance And Repair Shop Equipment.

A lubricator is designed to deliver lubricants, such as oil or grease, to various parts of machinery or equipment to reduce friction and wear. It ensures that the moving parts of the machinery are properly lubricated, which helps to extend their lifespan and improve their performance.

Lubricators come in different types and sizes, depending on the specific application and requirements. Some common types of lubricators include manual lubricators, automatic lubricators, and centralized lubrication systems.

Manual lubricators require manual intervention to dispense the lubricant, while automatic lubricators are designed to automatically deliver lubricant at regular intervals or based on specific conditions. Centralized lubrication systems are more complex and are used in large machinery or equipment where multiple lubrication points need to be serviced simultaneously.

Overall, lubricators play a crucial role in maintaining and repairing machinery and equipment by ensuring proper lubrication, which helps to prevent premature wear and damage.
