What Is a Lubrication Pump?
A lubrication pump is a device used to supply oil to the frictional parts of machinery or engines, ensuring effective lubrication.
The operating principle of a lubrication pump typically involves gears, vanes, pistons, or similar mechanisms. These components draw in oil and apply pressure to deliver it efficiently to machinery’s frictional parts. Lubrication pumps are essential in mechanical equipment like engines, machinery, pumps, and compressors, especially in environments that demand high temperatures, high pressures, or continuous operation.
The structure of a lubrication pump includes a pump housing, suction port, discharge port, rotating parts (such as gears or pistons), and a driving mechanism. These elements cooperate to transport the oil either through rotational motion or piston movement. Key characteristics of lubrication pumps are efficient lubrication supply, high durability, and stable operation, highlighting the importance of careful selection and regular maintenance.
