Linear bearing with lubrication system and method.

摘要

A linear bearing installation in which a plurality of linear bearings (20) are mounted in a series of recesses (18) formed in a structure (12) to be supported on a way surface (38), the position of each of the bearings (20) in the respective recess (18) adjustable lengthwise by an adjustment mechanism (58). A lubrication system is provided to direct lubricant to each bearing (20) by an injector assembly (60) mounted in an endwall (88) of the structure (12) adjacent each bearing (20) and having an injector tube (96) telescoped into a receptor (98) on the bearing to accommadate the lengthwise adjustment. A wiper cover (36a) is formed with a supply channel (108) feeding lubricant from a single quick connect fitting (114) to all of the lubricant injector assemblies (60).
