<p>A "splash" lubrication system (100) having an oil slinger (108) capable of providing an increased flow rate of lubricating and cooling oil to lubricated components of the system (100) compared to conventional dip stick oil slingers while reducing oil atomization and oil loss through the crankcase vent is disclosed. In embodiments of the invention, the oil slinger (108) is comprised of a disk (112) coupled to the crankshaft assembly (110) of the device (106) being lubricated (e.g., an engine, pump, compressor, or the like) so that rotation of the crankshaft assembly (110) rotates the disk (112) for splashing lubricating oil from the crankcase's oil sump (102) onto the moving parts of the device (106) being lubricated by the lubricating system (100). <IMAGE></p> |
