Why You Should Use Industrial Data Markers

When replacing a conventional bearing with a sealed bearing, be sure to remove and plug the zerk fittings, and consider using industrial data markers to indicate that sealed bearings are being used. An industrial data marker is a soft aluminum tag that can be permanently marked and attached. (Randy Norton, Plant Maintenance Optimization Coordinator, Tuscon Electric Power Co.).

Secure your lubrication with a grease flow transducer
A grease flow transducer can be installed directly in the lubrication point. It can be used to secure vital bearings, or to replace the inductive transducer in single line progressive systems, or to fill bearing houses, etc.
