How much oil should be in the 515 pump? - WKB29039

Article number: 29039

ENVIRONMENT

  • 515 HPLC Pump
  • 1515 Isocratic HPLC Pump
  • 1525 Binary HPLC Pump

ANSWER

The oil in the 515 pump is pushed up a tube by a gear located at the bottom of the pump. The oil then drips from the top of this tube and lubricates the rest of the mechanics. The oil level in the pump needs to be high enough to cover the gear at the bottom of the pump.
