Xtract® 3-D BullsEye Sight Glass – A Better Alternative to Sight Windows on Oil Reservoirs
LE’s Xtract® 3-D BullsEye Sight Glass makes the job of a lubrication technician or maintenance manager easier. The 3-D BullsEye is an improvement upon the old-fashioned sight plugs on oil reservoirs, which stain easily, make it difficult to view the oil level, and must be replaced often. Made of a high-performance transparent polyamide, the Xtract 3-D BullsEye allows immediate and accurate visual oil level monitoring from any angle.
Engineered to outperform and outlast traditional viewports, the inherently strong material provides excellent impact, chemical and UV resistance. It is a clear cylinder with threading on one end and a rounded polished end for easier viewing of the oil on the other. It is easy to install by wrapping the threads with Teflon tape.
Gearboxes are an essential machinery component, and they need to be correctly lubricated in order to function efficiently and for their expected lifespan. However, choosing the right lubricant for a particular gearbox can seem daunting. National Sales Manager for Lubrication Engineers (LE) South Africa, Llewellyn Owen, says that the first
Good lubrication reduces friction, which in turn increases the lifespan of mechanical components. This is true for everything from mining equipment to bicycle chains. Often, commercial products that are used in intensive applications like wire ropes at mining and mining processing facilities aren’t always considered for other, less-intensive uses. However,
Lubrication Engineers (LE) South Africa, will bring the latest in lubrication innovation and technology to Electra Mining at NASREC from 2 to 6 September, including Bluetooth-enabled single-point lubricator systems and improved product formulations for various mining and industrial applications. Colin Ford, MD at LE South Africa, says the company will
Recreational fishermen and ski boat owners often make significant investments when buying their equipment. But what happens when it comes to maintaining that equipment? In the worst-case scenario, if the right lubrication for the conditions isn’t used, machinery can fail, which at sea can result in serious and even life-threatening
