Abstract: A lubricant circulation system (10) includes a lubricant supply cup (1) containing a lubricant (6) and having an oil return hole (13) connected to an oil return pipe (16) of a rotary equipment (5). A pump seat (2) is coupled to the lubricant supply cup (1) and includes a pump chamber (253) and a pump outlet (254) connected to an oil supply pipe (256) of the rotary equipment (5). The lubricant (6) in the lubricant supply cup (1) flows into the pump chamber (253). A pump body (3) is coupled to the pump seat (2) and includes a pressure chamber (34) having a pressure inlet (341) and a pressure outlet (342) with a pressure relief valve (35). By introducing a pressurized fluid (7) from the pressure inlet (341) into the pressure chamber (34), a piston rod (27) in the pump chamber (253) reciprocally moves to allow the lubricant (6) in the pump chamber (253) to be successively supplied to the rotary equipment (5).

Abstract: The invention relates to a lubricating device, particularly for use in an apparatus which is used to lubricate mobile lubrication points e.g. on a rotating belt or chain belt. A lubricant discharge body of a lubricating head, which when lubricant is conveyed by a feed pump into a dosing chamber which is separated from the lubricant discharge channel, is placed in a front standby position and, counter to the effect of a restoring force, is moved into a locking and lubricant release position wherein the link between the pump and the dosing chamber is blocked by a reversing piston and the dosing chamber is fluidically connected to the lubricant discharge channel and a predefined volume of lubricant can be pumped out of the dosing chamber into the lubricant discharge channel.

Abstract: A lubricating oil supplying device allows for the oil discharge amount to be more finely controlled by provision of many outlet ports, and by reducing the influence of vibration. Therefore, a spool valve unit and a pump are separately formed. The spool valve unit includes an open-close spool valve and a solenoid for controlling operation of this spool valve. Plural inlet passages and an outlet passage are formed in the spool valve. The spool valve opens or closes the inlet passages, and oil from the pump is introduced into these inlet passages. One side of the outlet passage communicates with the inlet passages, and the other side communicates with an engine. A passage for introducing the oil from an oil tank to a pump chamber is formed in the solenoid. When the solenoid is turned “OFF”, communication between the return passage and the inlet passages is interrupted by the spool valve, and the oil is discharged from the pump to the plural inlet passages.

Abstract: A variable pressure oil pump assembly for use with a vehicle having a controller includes a pump body having an inlet, an outlet, a valve chamber, a first passage disposed between the inlet and the valve chamber, and a second passage disposed between the outlet and the valve chamber. The assembly further includes a pressure relief valve subassembly having a movable plunger that is disposed at least partially in the valve chamber for controlling flow of oil through the valve chamber so as to control outlet oil pressure at the outlet. A plunger adjustment mechanism is associated with the valve subassembly and adapted to communicate with the controller. The plunger adjustment mechanism is operable to control movement of the plunger based on control signals provided by the controller.

Abstract: A slant plate type compressor includes a compressor housing having a cylinder block provided with a plurality of cylinders and a basin portion formed at a bottom thereof for storing lubricating oil. A slant plate is disposed on the drive shaft and undergoes rotational motion with the drive shaft and is drivingly coupled to the pistons. The rotary motion of the drive shaft is converted into reciprocating motion of the pistons. An annular balance weight is coupled to a wobble plate, which is disposed about the slam plate and includes an axial end surface which has a sloped cross section. A pump mechanism disposed in the housing provides lubricating oil from the oil basin to the drive shaft. The pump mechanism contacts and is powered by the annular balance weight.

Abstract: A fluid displacement apparatus includes a housing having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. A suction chamber is formed between one end of the displacement mechanism and the housing and communicates with the fluid inlet port. A discharge chamber is formed between other end of the displacement mechanism and the housing and communicates with the fluid outlet port. A first hollow space is created between a peripheral surface of a driving mechanism and the inner block, and communicates with the suction chamber. A second hollow space is created between the inner block and the housing and communicates with the discharge chamber. A pressure differential regulating device is disposed between the first hollow space and the second hollow space. Accordingly, a sealing mechanism of a driving mechanism achieves superior durability while maintaining the lubrication of a bearing under various operating conditions of the apparatus.

Abstract: A lubricating system for a machine such as a two-cycle internal combustion engine including a reciprocating pump that pumps a finite amount of lubricant during a single pumping stroke and a stepper motor for operating the pump through incremental phases of movement each less than a stroke. The lubricant requirements of the machine are determined and the driving increments are adjusted so as to provide a pumping stroke when the lubricant consumption of the machine reaches the output of the pump. Various arrangements of stepper motors and control arrangements are disclosed for controlling the amount and timing of the lubricate delivery.
