Description
The Balcrank 1110-012 LYNX HD 5:1 Pneumatic Oil Pump is a professional-grade, air-operated piston pump designed for reliable lubricant dispensing in automotive repair shops, fleet maintenance facilities, dealerships, quick-lube centers, and heavy-equipment service operations. Featuring a 5:1 pressure ratio, durable carbon steel stub pump construction, 3-inch air motor, and included bung adapter and pressure relief valve kit, this heavy-duty lubrication pump provides an efficient solution for distributing motor oil, hydraulic fluid, automatic transmission fluid (ATF), and compatible gear oils.
Part of Balcrank's trusted LYNX Heavy-Duty Pump Series, the 1110-012 is engineered for small to medium-sized shops that require increased fluid pressure for overhead hose reels, longer distribution lines, and multiple oil dispensing locations.
Unlike lower-pressure 3:1 pump configurations, the LYNX HD 5:1 oil pump provides greater pressure multiplication to help overcome resistance created by longer piping runs, hose reels, restrictive fittings, and higher-viscosity lubricants.
The pump's double-acting piston design supports consistent oil delivery, making it suitable for centralized lubrication systems and portable oil dispensing packages.
High-Performance 5:1 Oil Pump for Professional Shops
The Balcrank 1110-012 features a powerful 3-inch pneumatic air motor and a 5:1 pump ratio that delivers the fluid pressure required for properly designed multi-point oil dispensing systems.
Balcrank publishes a maximum free-flow delivery rating of 24 gallons per minute (GPM) when tested with SAE 10W-30 oil at 68°F and 150 PSI air supply pressure.
This free-flow rating represents performance under specific test conditions rather than the expected delivery rate of an installed system. For small to medium shops supplying overhead hose reels, Balcrank describes an application with a maximum overall system flow rate of approximately 5 GPM.
Actual dispensing performance depends on pipe diameter, distribution distance, lubricant viscosity, operating air pressure, hose reel configuration, and simultaneous dispensing demand.
Durable Carbon Steel Stub Pump Construction
Built for professional lubrication environments, the Balcrank LYNX HD 5:1 features a durable carbon steel stub pump configuration designed for routine oil dispensing and maintenance operations.
The pump's wetted material construction includes aluminum, Buna-N, Zamak, steel, and polyurethane, providing compatibility with selected petroleum-based and synthetic lubricants when used according to manufacturer specifications.
Its double-acting air-operated mechanism supports efficient fluid movement without requiring a directly mounted electric motor.
Bung Adapter and Pressure Relief Valve Included
The Balcrank 1110-012 includes a bung adapter and pressure relief valve kit, making it a practical choice for integration with compatible drums, oil storage tanks, and bulk lubrication packages.
The bung adapter provides a mounting option for compatible tank or drum openings, while the pressure relief valve kit helps protect the distribution system against excessive pressure caused by thermal expansion of trapped fluid.
Whether you're replacing an existing pneumatic oil pump, upgrading a lubrication system, or designing a new multi-bay oil dispensing installation, the Balcrank 1110-012 LYNX HD 5:1 Stub Pump delivers the dependable performance and serviceability professional maintenance facilities need.

Common Applications for the Balcrank 1110-012
Automotive Repair Shops
The Balcrank LYNX HD 5:1 pump is ideal for small to medium-sized automotive repair facilities that require dependable motor oil distribution through service bay hose reels and dispensing handles.
Automotive Dealership Service Departments
Support centralized bulk oil dispensing systems that supply multiple technicians and service locations from a common lubricant storage area.
Fleet Maintenance Facilities
Provide reliable oil distribution for facilities maintaining commercial trucks, municipal fleets, delivery vehicles, and service equipment.
Quick-Lube Facilities
Integrate the LYNX HD 5:1 into appropriately sized lubrication systems used for routine oil changes and preventive vehicle maintenance.
Heavy-Equipment Service Centers
Dispense compatible hydraulic fluids, gear oils, and lubricants used during construction, agricultural, and industrial machinery maintenance.
Roll-Around Oil Dispensing Packages
Use the stub pump as part of a properly configured portable lubrication system designed for compatible oil drums and mobile shop servicing equipment.
Why Choose a 5:1 Pneumatic Oil Pump?
Greater Pressure for Oil Distribution
The 5:1 pump ratio allows the Balcrank 1110-012 to produce greater lubricant outlet pressure relative to the compressed air supply than a comparable lower-ratio pump.
This makes it useful for properly designed systems with longer piping runs, overhead hose reels, and greater flow resistance.
Support for Multiple Dispensing Points
A centralized lubricant distribution system may supply several service bays using one pump.
The LYNX HD 5:1 can support multi-point applications when the system is properly engineered for total flow demand, pressure loss, and simultaneous operation.
Durable Double-Acting Pump Performance
The pump's double-acting design provides fluid displacement during both directions of the pumping cycle, helping support consistent lubricant delivery.
Flexible Bulk Oil System Integration
With its supplied bung adapter, the stub pump can be incorporated into compatible oil drum and tank installations using appropriate suction connections and mounting hardware.
Pressure Relief Protection
The included pressure relief valve kit addresses the risk of thermal pressure buildup inside closed fluid distribution lines.
The complete system must be installed according to Balcrank's instructions and pressure rating requirements.
Important Pump Sizing and Installation Considerations
When selecting the Balcrank 1110-012, consider the number of oil dispensing points, overall piping distance, hose reel lengths, pipe diameter, fluid viscosity, and available compressed air supply.
A 5:1 pump ratio alone does not determine how much oil will reach each dispense point. Longer piping runs and thicker oils can create substantial pressure losses.
All piping, hose assemblies, reels, meters, fittings, and dispensing handles must be rated for the system's potential fluid pressure. Balcrank recommends a minimum 3× safety factor for hose fittings and piping.
The included pressure relief valve must be installed as specified by Balcrank to protect against pressure increases caused by thermal expansion.
Safety Note: Never use the LYNX HD 5:1 pump for flammable fluids. Verify fluid compatibility and follow the applicable service bulletin before installation.
Replacement Parts and Maintenance
Balcrank offers service components for the LYNX HD 5:1 pump, allowing maintenance personnel to repair selected wear components rather than automatically replacing the entire unit.
