Manual Lubrication Pumps
Manual lubrication pumps earn their place where power is absent, unnecessary, or unwanted: first fills, remote points, low-point drains, and machines whose lubrication rounds are measured in minutes per week. This page organizes them by mechanism — lever and piston hand pumps, numbered Bijur Delimon hand units, 5-gallon bucket pumps for bulk work, and one digital metering gun for measured dispensing.
The honest scope: a hand pump moves what one arm can move. The 0.5 L and 0.8 kg units top up single machines; the L-type lever pump and the 5-gallon units move real volume; the Bijur numbered units bring factory-line heritage at point scale. None of them replaces a central system — they cover what it cannot reach.
Electric and air-driven alternatives sit on their own pages; the rows below cross-reference where a unit belongs to both worlds.

Manual Lubrication Pump FAQ
How much grease can one person actually pump by hand?
In this catalog’s scale: a 0.8 kg unit tops up a machine, an SZ 25058 with its 1 L reservoir carries a longer round, and the 5-gallon bucket pump with follower plate is the honest limit for bulk work — it pushes grease from a standard drum with lever force. Beyond that volume, arm power stops being the right tool and an air or electric drum pump takes over.
What is the follower plate on the bucket pump for?
It wipes the drum wall as the level drops. Without it, grease channels — the pump draws a column through the middle while the drum walls stay coated — and delivery falls while air pockets form. The follower plate rides down inside the 5-gallon pail, keeping the full cross-section feeding. It is the difference between emptying a drum and abandoning the last fifth of it.
Why do the Bijur units carry part numbers?
Because they are factory-numbered Bijur Delimon designs — #25057 for grease, #30888 for oil at 1 L, and the SZ pair at 0.4 L and 1 L. The numbers are the ordering reference: a machine nameplate or an old tag resolves directly to the catalog page. They sit here as manual pumps first and Bijur units second; the full numbered family is on the Bijur Delimon page.
Where does the digital oil gun fit?
At the point of use, measuring. It dispenses oil with a digital meter — for lube routes that bill by volume, prove by volume, or simply avoid over-oiling. It is a dispensing tool paired with a supply, not a pump by itself; the row is here because this page is the manual toolbox.
Manual pump or central system for my machines?
Count the points and the hours. A handful of points greased weekly is hand-pump country — buy the reservoir size that matches the round. Dozens of points, or bearings that must not be forgotten, justify a central system. Send the point count and lubrication interval through the contact page and the answer comes back with the pump class and the honest break-even.
