Description
The Balcrank 1110-007 LYNX 3:1 Pneumatic Oil Pump is a professional-grade, air-operated piston pump designed for reliable lubricant transfer and dispensing in automotive repair shops, fleet maintenance facilities, dealerships, agricultural service centers, and industrial maintenance operations. Featuring a 3:1 pressure ratio, durable carbon steel stub pump construction, double-acting operation, and included bung adapter, this compact lubrication pump provides dependable performance for low-volume oil dispensing systems.
Part of Balcrank's professional LYNX Oil Pump Series, the 1110-007 is engineered for smaller shops and maintenance facilities that need efficient oil delivery without the additional pressure capability of a larger 5:1 pumping system.
The Balcrank LYNX 3:1 Stub Pump is particularly well suited for short-distance oil distribution, portable drum packages, roll-around lubrication units, and low-volume oil bar applications.
Designed to handle compatible synthetic and mineral-based motor oils, hydraulic fluids, and automatic transmission fluids (ATF), this pneumatic piston pump provides a practical solution for moving lubricants from drums, tanks, and properly configured bulk storage systems to dispensing equipment.
Reliable 3:1 Pneumatic Oil Pump Performance
The Balcrank 1110-007 uses a double-acting piston pumping mechanism powered by compressed air to deliver oil through compatible hoses, fittings, and dispensing handles.
Its 3:1 pump ratio provides fluid pressure multiplication to help move lubricants through appropriately sized distribution systems.
With an operating air pressure range of 45–150 PSI (3–10 bar), the LYNX 3:1 can be integrated into professional shop compressed air systems using the correct air regulator, hoses, and fittings.
Balcrank publishes a maximum free-flow delivery rating of 6.6 gallons per minute (GPM) when tested with SAE 10W-30 motor oil at 68°F and 150 PSI compressed air pressure.
This rating represents maximum free-flow performance under specific test conditions. Actual fluid delivery depends on oil viscosity, air supply, piping diameter, hose length, discharge resistance, and the number of dispensing locations.
For shops with relatively short oil distribution lines and modest lubricant demand, the Balcrank 1110-007 provides an effective alternative to higher-ratio pumps intended for larger distribution networks.
Durable Carbon Steel Stub Pump Construction
The Balcrank LYNX 3:1 features a robust carbon steel stub pump configuration designed for compatible automotive and industrial lubricants.
Its wetted materials include Buna-N, steel, brass, aluminum, and polyurethane, providing a manufacturer-specified material combination for approved lubrication applications.
The pump features a 1/4-inch NPT female compressed air inlet, along with 3/4-inch NPT female fluid inlet and outlet connections.
These threaded connections allow the pump to be integrated into compatible oil drums, storage tanks, suction assemblies, and lubrication distribution systems.
Convenient Bung Adapter for Drum and Tank Installations
The Balcrank 1110-007 includes a bung adapter, making it suitable for installation on compatible oil containers and lubrication equipment packages.
The universal stub configuration can be used with appropriately selected suction tubes and mounting accessories for drums, storage tanks, and compatible tote systems.
The pump can also be incorporated into portable oil dispensing arrangements, including roll-around drum carts and other professional lubrication packages.
Important: A pressure relief valve kit is not included with the 1110-007. Balcrank specifies Pressure Relief Valve Kit 3120-086 for this pump to address pressure buildup caused by thermal expansion in closed distribution systems.
Whether you're replacing an existing LYNX pneumatic pump, building a portable oil dispensing package, or upgrading a small shop's lubrication equipment, the Balcrank 1110-007 LYNX 3:1 Oil Pump offers a dependable solution for professional lubricant transfer.

Balcrank LYNX 3:1 vs. LYNX HD 5:1 Oil Pumps
| Feature | LYNX 3:1 – 1110-007 | LYNX HD 5:1 – 1110-012 |
|---|---|---|
| Pump Ratio | 3:1 | 5:1 |
| Pump Type | Pneumatic Piston | Pneumatic Piston |
| Configuration | Carbon Steel Stub | Carbon Steel Stub |
| Primary Application | Low-Volume Oil Dispensing | Higher-Pressure Oil Distribution |
| Preferred Distribution Layout | Shorter Pipe Runs | Longer or More Restrictive Runs |
| Portable Oil Packages | Yes, with compatible components | Yes, with compatible components |
| Multi-Point Applications | Limited by System Demand | Higher-Pressure System Options |
| Pump Selection | Based on Flow and Pressure Requirements | Based on Flow and Pressure Requirements |
The Balcrank 1110-007 LYNX 3:1 is particularly well suited for short-distance oil delivery, smaller tank installations, and portable dispensing systems.
The Balcrank 1110-012 LYNX HD 5:1 offers greater pressure multiplication for properly engineered distribution systems that require additional pressure to overcome piping and hose resistance.
A higher pump ratio does not automatically mean a higher delivered flow rate. Pump selection should be based on the complete system requirements.
Pressure Relief Valve Requirements
Balcrank specifies Pressure Relief Valve Kit 3120-086 for the LYNX 3:1 pump.
Thermal expansion can cause fluid pressure to increase inside closed lubrication distribution systems, potentially damaging hoses, reels, dispensing handles, and other equipment.
The pressure relief valve kit helps address this condition when correctly selected and installed.
The 3120-086 kit is sold separately and should not be described as included with part 1110-007.
All lubrication system components must be appropriately pressure-rated. Balcrank recommends a minimum 3× safety factor for hose fittings and piping.
Replacement Parts and Maintenance
Balcrank offers service components for the LYNX 3:1 pump.
| Repair Kit Number | Description |
