Splash and spray lubrication oil is directed from the transmission casing to a collector region along a shaft adjacent the pocket bearing. As the shaft rotates, oil is forced axially along the shaft by an impeller fixed to the shaft. The impeller forces the oil from the collector region to the pocket bearing through a lubrication port in the shaft. | InventorsAssigneeApplicationNo. 06/010441 filed on 02/08/1979US Classes:184/11.1, Splash184/6.12, Gearing74/467LubricationField of Search184/6.12GearingExaminersPrimary: Brown, David H.Attorney, Agent or FirmUS Patent References1032724, 1749247, 1794921, 2489699, 2615533, 2797771, 2984122, 3223196, 3635311, 3650353, 4221279Centrifugal lubrication system for transmission pocket bearingIssued on: 09/09/1980 Inventor: Jones , et al.
