Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method for the enclosed and automated lubricating of fasteners is disclosed. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a sleeve having an inside diameter larger than a diameter of the fastener, wherein the sleeve has at least one conduit located therein for dispensing lubricant onto the fastener; and a lubricant supply line coupled to the sleeve for supplying lubricant into the inside diameter of the sleeve for lubricating the fastener. The sleeve also has a pilot for maintaining the sleeve in a centered location about the fastener, wherein the centering ring has a diameter larger than the diameter of the fastener and smaller than the inside diameter of the sleeve. An optional scraper, such as an o-ring, is coupled to the sleeve to remove excess lubricant from the fastener when the fastener is removed from the sleeve.
