摘要 |
The lubrication insertion system of the present invention inserts lubricating oil (11) into the critical areas of a bearing (1). The system comprises a delivery element (4 min ) for delivering lubricating oil to a predetermined point relative to the bearing (1). The bearing (1), which is rotating, causes the lubricating oil (11) to be slung outward of the spin axis (9) of the bearing. A cage element (7), having a lip (12) that extends beyond the edge of the bearing (1), captures the lubricating oil and directs the lubricating oil into the bearing to the outer race (6) of the bearing and to the rolling elements (8) of the bearing, which track the oil to the inner race (5) of the bearing. |
