Oil Cups
Oil Cups Hold Oil and Protect Fill Points
Oil cups are small reservoirs that hold small amounts of oil for machinery and allow for slow, constant lubrication of moving parts. Oil cups are simple, yet reliable components that can be used in a variety of applications. Equipped with a self-closing lid to reduce contamination in oil holes and a hex body for easy installation, these components combine the protection of an oil hole cover with the ability to slowly dispense oil to its application. The body and shank are brazed together for a secure, leak-proof connection.
Hole covers are a part of Huyett's
lubrication systems & accessories product line, which offers accessories that aid grease and oil lubrication applications by offering extra protection, efficiency, or adaptability. Other products include:
- Grease Fitting Adapters: Attach to the grease point and adapt the connection when it needs elongated, angled, or fit to a different hole size.
- Grease Fitting Caps: Plastic caps that attach to the fitting to protect the zerk from dirt and debris.
- Header Blocks: Allows for multiple grease points to connect back to a single lubrication system through hoses.
- Oil Hole Covers: Designed to cover and protect oil fill points, but not to dispense oil.
- Oil Reservoirs: Larger plastic containers that hold oil as a central dispenser.
- Oilers: Fill points on machinery, equipped with a ball check for self-closing.
