UMA Industries manufactures and supplies Lubrication Timer units for intermittent oil-feed control in industrial machines from its unit in Village Sunped, Ballabgarh, Faridabad, Haryana, India. The Lubrication Timer is intended to energize a lubrication pump for a short ON period, then remain OFF for the selected rest time before repeating the cycle. This makes it a practical choice where moving parts need measured oil drops rather than continuous pump running. UMA Industries supplies and provides technical support to customers across India, and published prices on the website are company-confirmed. Product size, capacity, internal and external dimensions, power supply, optional controls/accessories, delivery schedule and mode of transport may be finalized or changed according to customer requirements in the quotation or proforma invoice.
What the Lubrication Timer does
The Lubrication Timer is a compact industrial control device that helps automate repeated lubrication intervals. The approved product description states that the timer can switch the lubrication pump ON for 3 to 5 seconds to push a drop of oil into the moving part of the machine, and then rest for hours before activating again. In practical use, that means the unit supports short pump pulses instead of continuous operation. The OFF period is adjusted with the analog knob on top, which gives maintenance teams a simple way to fine-tune the cycle during setup and routine use. The supplied specification lists 1% accuracy, 5A relay output, 220 Vac supply and ABS plastic body.
Applications in machine lubrication and maintenance planning
This Lubrication Timer suits machines that need periodic oil delivery to reduce friction, help movement remain smoother and support regular maintenance routines. It is relevant for machine builders, panel assemblers and plant maintenance teams that manage small pumps or lubrication circuits on production equipment. Because the timer is designed for a short ON pulse followed by a long rest interval, it can be used wherever the lubrication point needs only a measured drop or brief pump action at fixed intervals. Buyers often evaluate this type of timer for compact automation panels, machine-side lubrication control and simple duty-cycle timing where direct analog adjustment is preferred over complex programming.

How to select the right Lubrication Timer
Selection should begin with the pump load, the required lubrication pulse, the desired rest interval and the available supply in the control panel. The stated relay output is 5A, so the connected circuit should be matched carefully to the intended control duty and any external starter or contactor arrangement used by the panel designer. The supply specification is 220 Vac, so buyers should confirm compatibility with the machine’s electrical system before placing an order. If the application requires only a simple repeat-cycle lubrication signal, the analog knob is useful because it allows direct adjustment without menu navigation.
When quoting a lubrication timer for a new machine or retrofit, it is also helpful to consider how easily the operator can observe the cycle and how the panel will be wired during installation. In some projects, the Lubrication Timer is selected together with other control devices for a broader machine panel. For example, an engineer may compare it with a Human Sensing Timer for occupancy-related timing or a Digital Thickness Controller for other process-control needs. Those devices serve different functions, but the comparison can help define the correct timing approach for the panel.
Points to confirm before purchase
Before finalizing an order, confirm the pump’s current requirement, whether the relay should drive the pump directly or through an external device, and whether the chosen ON and OFF periods match the machine’s lubrication demand. If the machine has a difficult starting load, a control scheme with external protection may be required by the panel designer. Because the product uses an analog setting knob, it is suitable for applications that need practical site-level adjustment rather than detailed digital programming.
Operation and commissioning
The operating principle is straightforward. The timer closes the relay for the selected ON interval, the lubrication pump runs briefly, and the controller then waits through the OFF period before repeating the cycle. During commissioning, the installer should first check the supply connection and output wiring, then confirm that the pump reacts correctly to the timing signal. The ON period should be tested under real machine conditions because the lubrication result depends not only on the timer setting but also on the pump, piping, oil path and the condition of the moving part being lubricated.
For best results, initial adjustment should be done with the machine in normal operating mode. This helps the technician observe whether the oil drop arrives at the right moment and whether the selected rest time is practical for the actual workload. If the machine runs longer shifts, different load cycles or varying ambient conditions, the setting may need to be reviewed after trial operation. The analog knob makes this re-check simple during production start-up or maintenance shutdowns.
Practical calibration approach
A sensible calibration routine is to begin with a conservative interval, watch a few cycles, and then shorten or lengthen the rest period as needed. The target is not just relay switching but proper lubrication at the machine point. If the pump output is too frequent, oil may be wasted; if it is too infrequent, the machine may not receive sufficient lubrication. Because the timer is designed for industrial use, the final setting should be documented by the maintenance team so it can be restored after cleaning, part replacement or panel servicing.
Installation, maintenance and safe use
Install the this product in a dry, protected panel location with proper wiring practice for the 220 Vac supply and relay output. The ABS plastic body is suitable for compact control-panel integration, but the unit should still be protected from moisture, dust accumulation, loose conductors and vibration wherever possible. Terminal screws should be checked during shutdowns, especially in production areas where panels experience regular movement or heat. Routine maintenance should also include a quick inspection of the relay load, the pump circuit and the actual lubrication response at the machine.
Do not overload the relay beyond the stated 5A output. If the application requires a larger load, the panel designer should use an appropriate external control arrangement rather than forcing the timer to carry a heavier duty than specified. If maintenance teams are also reviewing environmental panel conditions, internal reference products such as Humidity Sensor and Digital Humidity Meter may be useful alongside timing devices.
Because lubrication timing is part of machine reliability, it is good practice to verify the timer after any panel rewiring, pump replacement or lubricant line change. This helps ensure the cycle still matches actual field conditions. In many plants, a short maintenance checklist is enough: confirm power, confirm relay action, confirm pump response and confirm the oil reaches the intended point. That simple approach keeps the system practical for daily industrial use.
