The SKF LAPN grease nipple is a fitting mounted at lubrication points to inject grease or oil with a grease gun or lubricator. Its function is to facilitate periodic maintenance of bearings, bushings and guides, avoiding disassembly. The LAPN series covers different threads, metric or gas, depending on the suffix. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as an official brand, with advice to choose the correct nipple according to the housing thread.

The LAPN designation identifies the SKF grease nipple family. The number or fraction that follows indicates the thread size: for example, LAPN 1/8, LAPN 1/4 and LAPN 1/2 correspond to gas threads (BSP), while LAPN 6, LAPN 8 and LAPN 10 are metric threads. The X1 suffix in LAPN 8X1 indicates a fine pitch variant. Knowing this nomenclature allows you to order the exact replacement without ambiguity.

These nipples are used in equipment with accessible lubrication points, such as bearings in electric motors, pumps, fans, conveyor belts and machine tools. In Argentine industry they appear in maintenance of food plants, cement plants, steel mills and workshops. They are also fitted on vehicles and agricultural machinery. The thread must match that of the housing to avoid leaks or damage to the female thread.

To select the nipple, verify the thread type (metric or gas) and its diameter. Sealing is achieved with the correct fit; in some cases a sealant is used. When mounting, do not force the thread and verify that the internal passage remains clear. Lubrication must be done with the appropriate grease gun and the nipple cleaned before greasing so as not to introduce contaminants. Follow the equipment manufacturer's recommendations.

Grease nipples are standardized parts; different brands offer equivalents with the same thread and shape. When requesting a quote, provide the full code (for example, LAPN 1/4) and, if possible, a photo or sample of the thread. MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you on interchangeability with other brands, without the need to modify the housing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I identify the thread of an LAPN nipple?
The numeric suffix indicates the thread type: fractions such as 1/8, 1/4 or 1/2 are gas threads (BSP); whole numbers such as 6, 8 or 10 are metric threads. The X1 suffix in LAPN 8X1 indicates fine pitch. Measure the diameter and pitch to confirm.
What is the difference between a metric nipple and a gas one?
Metric thread is measured in millimeters and gas thread in inches with a 55° angle. They are not directly interchangeable; forcing a different thread can damage the housing. Always verify the equipment's thread type before buying.
Are SKF LAPN nipples compatible with other brands?
Yes, they are standardized parts. Other brands offer nipples with the same thread and dimensions. When requesting a quote, provide the code and, if you can, a sample of the thread to confirm the equivalence. MR Accesorios Industriales advises you.
