LUBRICATING MEANS FOR A DYNAMOELECTRIC MACHINE END SHIELD HOUSING

摘要

A dynamoelectric machine end shield housing is provided with a pair of lubricant receiving passageways integrally cast into the housing and extending from spaced-apart points on the periphery thereof to an inner lubricant well surface adjacent a bearing mounted in the housing. A lubricant baffle is mounted on the inner lubricant well surface to restrict flow of lubricant in a path parallel to the shaft bearing mounted in the end shield. The outer ends of said passageways are readily accessible from a single side of the machine and means are provided in combination with the above-mentioned baffle that enables the lubricating system to be quickly adapted for reversal of grease fitting and grease drain.
