Lubrication Pump Follower Plate Caterpillar 4C7343

The Lubrication Pump Follower Plate rides directly on the grease surface to maintain constant pressure and guide grease toward the pump inlet for consistent delivery. The plate reduces air entry into the grease supply, which helps avoid interruptions in lubrication flow. The sealing action around the pump tube helps maintain controlled movement of grease during pumping cycles. The formed cone shape directs grease efficiently toward the inlet path to allow complete drum evacuation.Attributes:• Maintains continuous contact with grease to control flow movement toward the pump inlet.• Supports steady grease delivery during pump operation.• Seals around the pump tube to limit air exposure.Applications: The Lubrication Pump Follower Plate functions inside grease drums, where bulk grease is supplied to the lubrication pump, manages grease movement and pressure to ensure smooth intake at the pump inlet.
