In a single-line system there is one primary line connecting the central pump with the lubricant divider. All single-line metering devices work in a parallel principle. Single-line systems are easy to install, maintain and extended.

Progressive systems provide the various lubrication points with grease by means of progressive divider blocks. Progressive means that all lubricating points, each in turn, are provided with grease.

The solution for applications with lubrication points on dangerous or hard to reach locations. Whether it's a single or multiple points on one machine, a single point lubricator can be the solution. Suitable for motors, drives, bearings, compressors, chains etc.

If you want to play on the safer side and replace every bearing, expect to spend between $800 and $1000 in total. Unless you are already covered by special warranty policies, the overall costs can be quite a blow for most vehicle owners.

Effective lubrication is key to improve efficiency. Some industries require a different approach, and that's why Groeneveld-BEKA has developed some special lubrication systems to suit those needs.

The average pricing range can stoop as low as $107-$147 (DIY) to as high as $400-$1000 (mechanic) – depending on whether you prefer DIY procedures or mechanic supports.

Locate the rotor faces and place them face down on the ground (the back facing upwards). Then take your new bearing and push its bearing greases into your casing.

The BEKA PFP-1U is a versatile pneumatic barrel pump which offers all features needed to run a machine without unplanned downtime.

Auto greaser for bearings

Progressive pump with up to three independently operating outputs. Suitable for machines with different lubrication needs.

The application of a film of grease between moving parts in a machine or vehicle. The film of grease prevents any metallic contact between moving parts, like pins and bushings, bearings and steering knuckles. It also stops dirt, water and dust entering the lubrication point and prevents corrosion. Inadequate lubrication causes wear and tear, machine and vehicle failure and increases costs.

In general, you may expect to invest $190 to $310 for parts associated with the rear bearing replacements. Meanwhile, the labor charges fluctuate from $250 to $400.

Use a ratchet to unbolt brackets and brake calipers from the spindles. Once done, remove the calipers with a screwdriver.

The ideal solution for medium to large machines, suitable for advanced progressive as well as single- and dual-line systems.

A wheel bearing is often stored within the disc brake rotors, meaning you have to pry the dust cap off to expose retaining nuts and cotter pins. A couple of pliers will be your trusted ally in such cases.

Unfortunately, the front wheel bearing replacement cost is much more expensive than its rear counterparts. The average labor cost runs from $350 to $550, while the pricing for replacement parts is $150 to $300.

The solution for applications with lubrication points on dangerous or hard to reach locations. Whether it's a single or multiple points on one machine, a single point lubricator can be the solution. Suitable for motors, drives, bearings, compressors, chains etc.

Yes. Since wheel bearings and brake rotors are aligned, failed bearings will loosen the brake rotors and cause violent wobbles.

Hence, I often try to save the cost of wheel bearing by fixing/ swapping only one bearing. It is much cheaper than simultaneous front/rear replacements (refer to the pricing section above) while still delivering impeccable performance.

There is no point in choosing to do it on your own if these tools have not yet been purchased; buying all of these equipment pieces in one go can be even pricier than having it done by auto mechanics.

Automatic lubrication involves pumping the grease from the reservoir of the lubrication system to the lubrication points. The quantity of grease per lubrication point and the interval can both be set in advance.

Oil circulation systems are designed to lubricate as well as to cool bearings in almost every size of machine. Oil circulation systems keep the oil free from dirt particles, air and water and assure the best possible operating temperature for the machine.

Loosen them with a ratchet (1/2 inches) and proper size sockets. Remember just to loosen them; don’t remove the nuts completely yet.

Mechanic experts will have specialized tools to help press out those old bearings for you. After the new bearings are pressed in, technicians will re-install the spindles onto the vehicle.

While driving to mechanics is more convenient and also time-saving, feel free to replace the bearings at home if you already have all the required tools ready. Write me letters if any type of wheel bearing issues persist

Now that the vehicle is safely secured and lifted, you can proceed to remove the nuts completely. Once done, pull the tires off and place them aside.

The BEKA EP-1, or BEKAMAX as it's also known, is a versatile progressive lubrication solution for mid-size and larger machines.

Once gathering the required supplies, you should prep the car beforehand to ensure maximum safety. To begin, park the vehicle on an even, level surface.

Technically, you can, but it’s extremely dangerous. Premature/ uneven tire wear, worn transmission, and even explosions are inevitable.

Grease is a thickened oil and always consists of two different components: oil and a thickener. The oil is the actual lubricant, while the thickener ensures that the oil remains in place.

Effective lubrication is key to improve efficiency. Some industries require a different approach, and that's why Groeneveld-BEKA has developed some special lubrication systems to suit those needs.

Progressive systems. All lubrication points are consecutively lubricated with the predetermined amount of grease. Parallel systems. All lubrication points are administered the predetermined amount of grease at the same time.

Autogrease

Lubrication is vital to machine components like bearings, pins, bushings, gears or chains. They all need lubrication for your equipment to perform in the most optimal way. Whether you are looking for lubricants, automatic lubrication systems or solutions for specific industries, we offer the solution that helps you to keep your industry in motion.

A dual line system is comparable to the single line system, except that this system has two primary lines that are used alternately to pressurise and depressurise.

To save you hours of research, my team has compiled the average price range of some of the most commonly-asked cars. If yours does not make its way into this list, I suggest consulting your dealer or manufacturer.

In a multi-line system, grease is led directly from the injectors in a pump through their own pipes to a lubrication point.

Put your new bearings into the rotor’s back and apply some grease to the cavity’s interior. Next, install the new seals over the bearing before placing the new retaining nuts on their spindles.

Not to mention, not everyone is familiar with the technical aspects of the vehicle; jumping blindly into it without proper research might end up costing you even more than it should have.

Within an oil-air lubrication system lubrication points are continuously supplied with fine droplets of oil from a nozzle. This avoids an undesirable oil mist because only small volumes of oil are provided to the air mixing valves.

Lift the car off the ground with two jack stands. That way, you will find it easier to remove the tire for ball bearing replacements.

For all situations in which moving parts need to be separated from each other by means of a film of grease. Groeneveld lubrication systems are most frequently used for wheel loaders, excavators, trucks, trailers, buses, port equipment, mining machines, forestry equipment and agricultural equipment.

Replacing wheel bearings is a piece of cake and can save quite a few bucks, guaranteed you ALREADY have all these tools at home:

Regular wheel maintenance schedules should include frequent wheel bearing checks; that has always been a rule of thumb. However, it is the cost to replace wheel bearings that gives people a headache, as they are uncertain whether these upgrades may give huge blows to the financial budgets.

In a single-line system there is one primary line connecting the central pump with the lubricant divider. All single-line metering devices work in a parallel principle. Single-line systems are easy to install and maintain, suitable for long line lengths and suitable for oil and grease.

Progressive systems provide the various lubrication points with grease by means of progressive divider blocks. Progressive means that all lubricating points, each in turn, are provided with grease.

Oil and air lubrication is the perfect solution to lubricate bearings, especially high speed bearings. Additional fields of application include chains, gear trains and other industrial applications.

A dual line system is comparable to the single line system, except that this system has two primary lines that are used alternately to pressurise and depressurise.
