Cam pumps

Cam-driven lubrication pumps

Cam pumps are piston lubrication pumps driven by a camshaft, delivering oil to the points in step with the cam's rotation. The cam actuates the pump piston on each revolution, so the pump produces a regular, repeatable supply tied directly to the drive — ideal for machines that offer a rotating shaft and need a steady, motion-led oil feed. The LT/PS series provides a robust, compact cam-driven piston pump that integrates neatly into single-line and progressive oil systems, feeding the points through standard tubing. It is a dependable building block within DropsA's pump range for machines with a suitable drive. A rotating camshaft drives the pump piston through its stroke — up to 10 mm — delivering a defined volume of oil (around 2.6 cm³) on each cycle, at up to 600 cycles per minute. The pump builds the pressure needed to move oil through the network (up to 5 bar) and feeds the points through Ø 8–10 mm tubing. Because the drive is the camshaft, the supply follows the machine's rotation, giving a continuous, demand-led oil feed without a separate motor or air supply.
