Description
FlowMaster II rotary AC electric pump uses
an AC motor and two stage planetary
gear drive.
Grease output is proportional to pump
revolutions per minute. Pump is primarily
designed for centralized lubrication systems
such as single line parallel, single line pro-
gressive and two line systems.
Pump is driven by rotary motion of elec-
tric motor. Rotary motion is converted to
reciprocating motion through an eccentric
crank mechanism. Reciprocating action
causes pump cylinder to move up and down.
Unit is positive displacement double-acting
pump, as grease output occurs during both
up and down strokes.
During down stroke, pump cylinder is
extended into grease. Through combination
of shovel action and vacuum generated in
pump cylinder chamber, grease is forced into
pump cylinder. Simultaneously, grease is
discharged through outlet of pump. Volume
of grease during intake is twice amount of
grease output during one cycle.
During upstroke, inlet check closes, and
one half of grease taken in during previous
stroke is transferred through outlet check
and discharged to outlet port. Typical output
of pump is shown in Pump performance
(†Table 1, page 4).
Refer to Motor wiring diagram (†Fig. 2,
page 5) for pump motor.
NOTE
Pumps are not recommended for airless
spray systems. They should be con-
verted from : to : gear ratio.
Please contact technical services for
component requirement.

Inspection
If over pressurizing of equipment is believed
to have occurred, contact factory authorized
warranty and service center for inspection.
Specialized equipment and knowledge is
required for repair of pump.
Annual inspection by factory authorized
warranty and service center is
recommended.
Damaged pumps
Do not use any pump that appears to be
damaged, badly worn or operates abnor-
mally. Remove pump from service and con-
tact factory authorized warranty and service
center for repairs. A listing of authorized
warranty and service centers is available
upon request.
) Test conducted with Alvania NLGI at psi (68 bar) back pressure.
Appropriate use
All pump models are exclusively designed to
pump and dispense lubricants using electric
power. Specifications are shown in Pump
specifications (†Table 2, page 4). Do not
exceed maximum specification ratings.
