The Pro-Ject Grease It is a specialist bearing lubricant designed to keep the spindle bearings of Pro-Ject turntables running smoothly. It sits within the Pro-Ject accessories range alongside complementary maintenance products such as the Lube It oil for standard non-inverted bearing systems.
Why Bearing Lubrication Matters
A turntable's platter bearing is one of its most critical mechanical components. Over time, the factory-applied lubrication is gradually worn away through use, and environmental factors such as temperature variation and humidity accelerate this process. Without adequate lubrication, friction increases within the bearing, which can introduce subtle noise and vibration into the playback system. Keeping the bearing properly lubricated helps preserve the quiet, stable rotation that is essential for accurate vinyl replay.
Formulated for Inverted Bearings
Grease It is specifically formulated for turntables fitted with inverted bearing systems, where the spindle tip points upward and the bearing cup sits at the bottom of the bearing housing. This design is used in Pro-Ject's RPM Line, Xtension models, and Signature Line. The grease is not suitable for conventional non-inverted bearings; Pro-Ject's Lube It oil should be used for those instead.
Pre-Filled Syringe for Precise Application
Grease It is supplied in a pre-filled medical syringe, allowing the grease to be applied precisely to the bearing cup without mess or excess. Only a small amount is required per application, making the 2.3ml syringe suitable for multiple maintenance sessions. Pro-Ject recommends keeping the bearing constantly lubricated and suggests applying the grease whenever the turntable is in regular use.
