Need info on cycle timer for autolube pump

jackal · Jun 9, 2020

I have an old mill with a clock gear type timer.
It doesn't work sometimes.
There are some cycle timers on eBay, etc.
It needs to be programmable.
Maybe on for 10 seconds, every 15 -20 minutes.
I can wire it up, but don't know what to ask for.
Any recommendations?
Here are some I've been looking at.

I had clock timers on a large resaw to spray kerosene on the saw to cut pitch. The motors would fizzle and I would order and install new ones. The timers you have linked, I believe, need an outside input to start their timing cycle while the clock type is powered and cycles automatically. Does this sound right??

I think the type I used was Intermatic, 120 volt with little peg things that went into a wheel that tripped a micro-switch.

Maybe yours is different.

Yeah, I want one that starts as soon as power is applied to the machine.
Then pump for 10 seconds, every 10-15 minutes.

Quickly with more research on your end

McMaster 7630K23 for repeat every 10-15 minutes, 7268K24 for 10 second on time

power on starts 7630K23 and it runs 7268K24

These are 120V powered and check the load current capacity for what you are operating

Expensive but almost bullet proof

easy to change within the range

get the plug in sockets to wire to

I have one from a Hardinge on ebay now : Artisan Repeat Cycle Timer Solid State 4600A-6-3-A 115v Free Ship | eBay

On time 13 Sec, Off time 20 Min
You can change times by changing resistors
