Oil pumps from scrapted automobile engines are gear pumps and even have a rudimentary suction filter on a lot of them. The can have an extension shaft attached and you can drive it with any small motor.
As oil pumps are hardly ever replaced, they should be cheap.
Shrug...do as you choose Bob. Everybody is free to set up their shop as they choose.
As for me..shrug..one of my lathes and one of the mills have $19 swamp cooler pumps on them and they gush out rather nicely. Head is about 3 feet and length is about 5-6 feet.
Castrol Ilocut goes through them nicely. I have about 40 gallons of the stuff, compliments of a company after a Westec about 8 yrs ago. I believe its about SAE10 weight. Maybe 5 weight.
Shrug. Keep us posted on your pressure oiler. It does sound interesting.

And peristaltic pumps don't even have any contact between the pumper and the pumpee. :-) ...lew...
I hadn't thought of that. Most are just driven off the distributor. Nothing like dropping that Ford pump rod in the oil pan eh? LOL.

Make one.
Dig up a geared motor and build a peristaltic pump
The parts washers have something like a Little Giant pond pump in them, and they're pumping kerosene.
