Bijur Delimon Lubrication Pumps

Bijur Delimon lubrication pumps provide the reliable heart of automatic lubrication systems by delivering controlled volumes of oil or grease to machine lubrication points. These pumps help ensure precise lubrication delivery, reduce maintenance labor, and extend equipment life across industrial machinery.

What Are Lubrication Pumps?

Lubrication pumps are the core components that pressurize and deliver lubricant from a reservoir into a centralized system of tubing and injectors or meter units. They can be configured for oil or fluid grease and are often paired with controllers and monitoring devices for automated lubrication schedules.

Where Lubrication Pumps Are Used

Industrial lubrication pumps are widely used wherever multiple lubrication points require consistent, repeatable lubrication during machine operation. Typical applications include:

• CNC machining and milling centers
• Extrusion presses and forming machinery
• Conveyor systems and material handling lines
• Packaging and assembly automation
• Heavy production equipment with multiple bearings and guides

Types of Lubrication Pumps

Different pump types serve different system needs:

• Electric lubrication pumps – Best for systems needing consistent pressure and automated control.
• Pneumatic lubrication pumps – Driven by compressed air; good for rugged or air-powered plants.
• Manual lubrication pumps – Suitable for small systems or low-frequency lubrication points.
• Hydraulic or mechanical pumps – Tied to machine motion when lubrication must synchronize with operations.

When to Use Lubrication Pumps

• Machines with many lubrication points that are difficult or unsafe to service manually
• Systems requiring precise timing or volume control
• Stations that run continuously or at high cycle rates
• Environments needing reduced downtime and consistent machine performance

When Pumps Alone May Not Be Enough

• Very simple systems with one or two lubrication points may not need central pumps
• Hand greasing may suffice for low-duty, infrequently maintained equipment
• Systems needing advanced monitoring or automated fault response should pair pumps with controllers

How Lubrication Pumps Work (Conceptual)

Lubrication pumps draw oil or grease from a reservoir and pressurize it for distribution into tubing and metering components. In automated systems, pumps are controlled by timers or feedback signals (pressure, cycle, low-level switches) to deliver lubricant precisely and consistently. Effective pump selection ensures lubrication occurs at the right rate without overgreasing or starved points.

Common Mistakes and Misapplications

• Selecting a pump that is undersized for the number of lubrication points
• Ignoring lubricant type compatibility (oil vs fluid grease)
• Failing to integrate with monitoring or controllers for reliable operation
• Assuming manual greasing can reliably replace automated systems

How Lubrication Pumps Fit into Larger Systems

Pumps serve as the central driver in a broader lubrication system. They connect to: distribution components (fittings, tubing, junctions), meter units and injectors (which regulate flow to each point), and controllers or monitoring devices (which schedule and verify lubrication). Correct integration ensures lubricants reach every critical point the machine requires.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between electric and pneumatic pumps?
Electric pumps provide electrically driven, consistent pressure and are ideal for automated systems, while pneumatic pumps are driven by compressed air and suit environments where air power is available or preferred.

Can a lubrication pump work with both oil and fluid grease?
Some pumps are configurable for both oil and fluid grease; compatibility depends on pump design and injector selection within the lubrication system.

Do pumps require controllers?
Controllers add timing and monitoring intelligence so that lubrication happens at appropriate intervals and can signal faults, improving system reliability and reducing maintenance oversight.
