A centrifugal lubrication system provides lubrication oil flow to a transmission pocket bearing (18). Splash and spray lubrication oil is directed from the transmission casing (12) to a collector region (34) along a shaft (14) adjacent the pocket bearing (18). As the shaft (14) rotates, the oil is centrifugally thrown from the collector region (34) into a receiving trough (45) defined by (a) a lubrication port (24) extending through the shaft (14), and (b) an oil ring (46) fixed to the shaft (14) radially of the collector region (34) and adjacent the lubrication port entrance (26). From the trough (45), the oil flows through the port exit (28) to the pocket bearing (18). |
