LUBRICATING OIL SUPPLY DEVICE FOR A ROLLING BEARING

摘要

The invention relates to a lubricating oil supply device for a rolling bearing, having at least one bearing ring (4) or the like, which forms a race (6) for the rolling bodies, comprising at least one oil duct (12) which passes through the bearing ring (4), is connected to an oil supply line and opens into the bearing interior (14), and a metering means (10) which is arranged upstream of the oil duct (12) in the flow direction of the oil. According to the invention, at least one clamped-in valve clearance compensation element (16) is provided as the metering means (10), the low pressure space (26) of which is connected to the oil supply line and the oil discharge region (32) of which is connected to the oil duct (12). With this invention, the ability of a conventional valve clearance compensation element is used to allow very small, controlled amounts of oil through.
