FLM/FLFM vane pumps and pump units

A simple and reliable solution for small oil circulation systems

Devices in this series operate at low pressure and use oils with a low viscosity range. Thanks to their high suction capacity (up to 3 m), the FLM pumping unit is often used as a drainage pump.

Vane pumps can handle oil and oil-air mixtures with higher throughput than gear pump units. Two different pump designs are available. One allows the pump to be installed separately from the reservoir (FLM). The other allows for flange mounting of the pump to the reservoir (FLMF) in either a vertical or horizontal position. When mounted horizontally, the unit must be installed above the maximum lubricant level. Specially designed units with a sealed flange for installation below the lubricant level are available upon request.
