Lincoln Vogel KFA Electric Piston Pump

Aftermarket KFA Electric Piston Pump

This page describes an aftermarket electric piston pump that cross-references the Lincoln Vogel KFA. Lincoln and Vogel are trademarks of their respective owner. This is an aftermarket pump, not manufactured, sponsored, or endorsed by Lincoln. KFA designations are for cross-reference identification only. It is a compact electrically operated piston pump for centralized grease lubrication on commercial vehicles, industrial machinery, and wind energy applications.

KFA and KFAS Configurations

KFA is the pump without integrated control unit, intended for external PLC or timer control. KFAS is the pump with integrated control unit with programmable timer, fault memory, and display. Both share the same piston pump mechanics. The KFAS controller designation varies by version, so confirm the exact unit before ordering.

The choice usually follows the machine, not the pump. If the vehicle or turbine controller already schedules lubrication events, the KFA with external control is the simpler fit. If the machine has no spare control output, the KFAS package handles timing and fault reporting on its own. Retrofits often favor the integrated version for this reason.

Specifications

Dual-Zone Operation

This pump supports up to two independent lubrication circuits, with one pump element per zone. Each zone can use a different element output. That is useful when one circuit feeds far points needing more volume.

Zones also let one pump serve two machine sections with different lubrication schedules, such as a main bearing circuit and a separate gearbox circuit on the same frame. Each element draws from the same reservoir, so refill intervals are shared. If one zone is later disabled, the other continues operating from its own element. Confirm the element output for each zone when ordering, because the elements are selected per circuit.

System Compatibility

This pump works with single-line and progressive centralized systems. Confirm your downstream metering devices match the system architecture before installation. See single-line lubrication system and progressive lubrication systems.

What to Confirm Before Ordering

Confirm KFA vs KFAS, specifically whether the machine already has a controller. Confirm voltage: 12 V, 24 V, or 115 V AC. Confirm reservoir size and element output. Confirm one or two zones. Confirm low-level switch inclusion. For more on grease pump options, see grease pump. If you are unsure about any of these points, contact the team with your machine details.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between KFA and KFAS?

KFA uses external control from a PLC or timer. KFAS has an integrated controller with timer, fault memory, and display.

Which voltage should I choose?

Match the machine supply. Options are 12 V DC, 24 V DC, or 115 V AC.

Can it run two zones?

Yes, one pump element per zone. Each zone can have a different element output.

What is the maximum pressure?

The pump operates up to 300 bar maximum. That is 4,350 psi.

Is NLGI 2 grease acceptable?

Yes, NLGI 2 grease is acceptable. Fluid grease is also supported.

Which reservoir size should I pick?

Choose 0.6, 0.9, or 1.2 L. Base it on refill interval and available mounting space.

Is a low-level switch included?

Not always. You must confirm low-level switch inclusion before ordering.

What pump element outputs are available?

Outputs are 0.8, 1.5, or 2.0 cm3/min. The output is per pump element.

Can it replace my old pump?

Confirm voltage, zones, and controller type first. Then verify reservoir size and element output.
