Experience with Bergeon automatic oiler ref 2A

[oli]

Hi all

After years of using traditional oilers, I recently decided to bite the bullet and invest in a set of automatic oilers in the name of efficiency.

I am familiar with the use of the oilers 1A and 5, respectively for shock protected jewels, and train wheel pivots.

My query is specifically about the oiler ref 2A - « For pallets, mechanical parts, oiling spots difficult to reach »

Basically my question is, does it work with grease? At the moment I am thinking of using it to lubricate keyless work and high friction points with grease,  but I would not want to fill up the reservoir to find out it is just too thick to work....

any advice/ experience would be appreciated! 

 

Many thanks

I would say no. Personally I find using the auto oiler awkward and therefore only use them for shock jewels that can not be removed easily.

Thank you clockboy, that is my gut feel too. I do not see much point in the 2A if it can only be used with thin oils. Perhaps I will end up using it with Moebius 914 for pallet / escape lubrication on low beat escapement lubrication.

Bergeon has an other oiler for grease. Its metal stand can be heated to make the grease flow.

Hi Frank, many thanks for this, I have not come across it before. Would you have a Bergeon ref number by any chance?
