2. Oil pump (internal combustion engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pump_(internal...

   Placing the oil pump low-down uses a near-vertical drive shaft, driven by helical skew gears from the camshaft. Some engines, such as the Fiat Twin Cam engine of 1964, began as OHV engines with an oil pump driven from a conventional camshaft in the cylinder block. When the twin overhead cam engine was developed, the previous oil pump ...

3. Dry sump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_sump

   The oil collects in sump (1), is withdrawn continuously by scavenge pump (2) and travels to the oil tank (3), where gases entrained in the oil separate and the oil cools. Gases (6) are returned to the engine sump. Pressure pump (4) forces the de-gassed and cooled oil (5) back to the engine's lubrication points (7).

4. Oil pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pressure

   Murphy oil pressure gauges with switches that activate on low pressure. Oil pressure is an important factor in the longevity of most internal combustion engines. [1] With a forced lubrication system (invented by Frederick Lanchester), oil is picked up by a positive displacement oil pump and forced through oil galleries (passageways) into bearings, such as the main bearings, big end bearings ...

5. Automatic lubrication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_lubrication

   The oil is contained in a reservoir that connects to a small oil pump in the engine, which needs to be periodically refilled. Oil injection pump on a Yamaha DX100 - just behind the carburettor (visible on the left) It is the primary component of two-stroke automatic lubrication system.

6. Pumpjack - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumpjack

   Pump size is also determined by the depth and weight of the oil to remove, with deeper extraction requiring more power to move the increased weight of the discharge column (discharge head). A beam-type pumpjack converts the rotary motion of the motor (usually an electric motor ) to the vertical reciprocating motion necessary to drive the ...

7. Splash lubrication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splash_lubrication

   The oil droplets then pass through drillings to the bearings and thereby lubricate the moving parts. [3] Provided that the bearing is a ball bearing or a roller bearing , splash lubrication would usually be sufficient; however, plain bearings typically need a pressure feed to maintain the oil film, loss of which leads to overheating and seizure.
