A lubrication device lubricates traveling lubrication sites, such as on a belt ( ), in particular, on a roller or chain belt ( ). The lubrication device includes a lubricating apparatus ( ) having a catch (C) that is capable of assuming a resting position and a catching position relative to the belt ( ). In the catching position, a lubricating head (D) of the lubricating apparatus ( ) is moved to a lubrication site by relative lateral motion between the belt ( ) and the lubricating apparatus ( ) in order to supply lubricant to the lubricating site. At the end of the run path, the lubricating head (D) as well as the catch (C) moves relative to the belt ( ) to return back to the resting position. Also, before or simultaneously while the catch (C) is brought into engagement with the belt ( ), the lubricating apparatus ( ) can be extended in a longitudinal direction of the lubrication site motion at a boosting speed, which is greater than zero and less than the speed of the belt ( ).
