Can the Timken lubricator blow the bearing seal?

No. It takes at least 240 psi to blow a seal. Timken single-point lubricators will generate 75 psi at the most, making it impossible to blow a seal. It is easy to blow a seal with a grease gun, which creates over 2,000 pounds of pressure. So, be careful.
