Description
A newer version of the FlowMaster pump
was introduced in July of 2008. These units
incorporate the following improvements:
• Bushing & plunger seals used along with
elastomer cup seals for longer life and
better high temperature operation.
• A crankcase oil dipstick.
• Hardened and ground section on the
reciprocating tube for longer life and bet-
ter crankcase oil control.
• Hardened and ground pivot pin bushings
with a tighter fit into the pivot pin anchor.
• Improved pivot pin fastener with deeper
hex head socket.
All of the improved parts can be used with
the older model pumps, so the upgraded
parts and subassemblies will now be sup-
plied to repair older model pumps. Please
refer to the maintenance and repair
section, page 12 for a list of the new repair
kits and their proper application.

General description
The Lincoln Industrial rotary DC electric
pump uses a 24 V DC motor and either a
single a two stage planetary gear drive.
Grease output is proportional to the pump
rpm. The pump is primarily designed for
centralized lubrication systems such as the
Single Line Parallel, Single Line Progressive
and Two Line systems.
The pump is driven by the rotary motion
of the electric motor. Rotary motion is con-
verted to reciprocating motion through an
eccentric crank mechanism. The reciprocat-
ing action causes the pump cylinder to move
up and down. The unit is a positive displace-
ment double-acting pump as grease output
occurs during both the up and down stroke.
The pump motor employs an integral speed
control capable of reducing pump speed to
10% of its maximum value.
During the down stroke, the pump cylin-
der is extended into the grease. Through the
combination of shovel action and vacuum
generated in the pump cylinder chamber,
the grease is forced into the pump cylinder.
Simultaneously, grease is discharged
through the outlet of the pump. The volume
of grease during intake is twice the amount
of grease output during one cycle. During
the upstroke, the inlet check closes, and one
half of the grease taken in during the previ-
ous stroke is transferred through the outlet
check and discharged to the outlet port. Typ-
ical output of the pump is shown on page 4.
Appropriate use
• All pump models are exclusively designed
to pump and dispense lubricants using
24 V DC electric power.
• The maximum specification ratings
should not be exceeded.
• Any other use not in accordance with
instructions will result in loss of claims for
warranty and liability.
