As a grease nipple is incorporated in both the head and the stud it provides no protrusion or obstruction whilst in application. This in turn provides vast space saving as designs will no longer have to account for a large grease nipple that traditionally would have provided an obstruction.
The Hex-Port lubrication grease nipples come pre-installed in UNASIS cam-followers to save time. However, an additional grease nipple and a grease plug are supplied so that the stud can either be plugged or accessed in future depending on each individual application requirement.
By allowing lubrication through the hex head customers are able to reduce their inventory as the Hex-Port lubrication feature by-passes the need for to stock slot head or unsealed cam followers.
