Grease lubricated bearing housing

摘要

A grease lubricated bearing housing is provided with an opening receiving a shaft and has a housing wall arranged to form a seat for the outer race ring of a bearing, with a space on each axial side of the seat that being limited by an axially extending wall portion and a radial gable wall. The wall of the housing is provided with a through bore for receiving a grease nipple, with the bore opening into the interior of the housing in at least one of the two spaces axially outside the bearing seat. The interior of the housing wall is provided with a material conglomeration positioned relative to the through bore so that the material conglomeration forms a shield urging grease introduced through the through bore to move primarily towards the bearing seat while also preventing grease from primarily filling out the space into which the through bore opens.
