New & Improved FUTURA

Late this summer the current perma FUTURA will be replaced with an enhanced new version.  The new FUTURA is now 120cc in size with discharge rates of 1,3,6 or 12 months and an integrated oil check valve for oil filled units.  Please click here for more information.

By tightening the activating screw the gas generator drops into the electrolyte fluid where it starts an electrochemical reaction that builds up pressure (up to 4 bar / 58 psi) and causes the piston to move forward.  The lubricant is continuously injected into the lubrication point.  The transparent casing permits easy monitoring of the amount of lubricant discharged.  The lubrication period is determined by color activator screws (1, 3, or 6 months).

New Quick Start Activator

The activating screw for the perma CLASSIC and FUTURA now creates an immediate pressure build-up.  The end result is that the lubricant comes out much quicker and activates quicker in low temperatures.

In the past, you would have to activate the unit 1 to 3 days early to insure that lubricant came out of the lubricator immediately upon installation.  This step is no longer necessary.
