Filter, Lubricant

The Lincoln lubricant filter was developed to minimize contaminants entering the automatic lubrication system during the fill process of smaller sized reservoirs. The filter helps to ensure the system starts the lubrication process with clean grease.

It is installed as an inline component in the reservoir’s supply line. The filter can be mounted away from the reservoir for easier access. As grease enters through the inlet, it goes through the filter and then exits into a hose connected to the grease reservoir’s fill port. As the filter element becomes clogged, the unit’s clogged indicator pin starts to retract, signaling filter cleaning is required. If the clogged filter is not cleaned, grease will vent safely to a catch container.

Most contamination of grease happens prior to or during the fill process. The method of using the fill port with a small grease reservoir filling filter is recommended instead of removing the reservoir lid and filling from the top.
