Abstract - A centralized lubrication system, is a system that delivers controlled amounts of lubricant to multiple locations on a machine while the machine is operating. The advantages of this new technology are clear although the heart of the automated lubrication system is the pump. The conventional pumps used are of fixed displacement type, thus the volume flow cannot be controlled hence they are not useful for the ALS.

The Proposed pecision control variable displacement pump is an innovative kinematic link base stroke changing mechanism that is controlled using an floating eccentric mechanism that can precisely vary the stroke of the mechanism and thus the pumping unit volume flow rate can be controlled. Project work will include the kinematic linkage design. The strength analysis of the kinematic linkage parts will be done using theoretical method. Pump developed will be tested to determine the performance characteristics of the pump and there by determine the maximum and minimum volume flow rate of the system, volumetric efficiency and precision of flow control. The pump will be tested for fixed input speed and for multiple control positions.

Key Words: ALS, Kinematic link pump, Precision control, variable displacement pump
