    GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS DESCRIPTION OF THE PUMP Fig. 1 The OBL’s metering pumps “MB/MC” series are con- • trolled-volume reciprocating pumps. The crank gear is driven by an electric motor and the strokes per minute of the diaphragm are given by an integral, oil-splash-lubricated , endless screw/wormwheel reduction gear (fig.1).
