Lubrication module for at least one lubrication station of a turbomachine, the lubrication module comprising at least one positive displacement pump including a pump body delimiting a main chamber configured to be in fluid communication with a main lubrication circuit and an auxiliary chamber configured to be in fluid communication with an auxiliary lubrication circuit, and a piston movably mounted in the pump body between an inactive configuration and an active configuration, the piston being configured to perform, in the active configuration, a pumping movement between a top dead center and a bottom dead center by cooperation with a cam of a shaft of the turbomachine and, in the inactive configuration, not to cooperate with the cam of the shaft of the turbomachine, the positive displacement pump including a return element configured to return the piston to the active configuration.
