Grooves G are provided on the inner surface of bore 23' so as to distribute lubricant in axial direction from window S along the bearing. 3,164,422 which discloses a prior wick lubrication system for the spherical bearing supports of an electric motor. Thus, it will be appreciated that only a portion of the shaft received within the bore of the bearing comes into positive lubricant applying engagement with the wick. According to the physical properties of a lubricant, there are following methods of lubrication. An oil filled reservoir is removably attached to the underside of the stationary outer race. Benefits. Heretofore in electric motors, the journal bearings were typically lubricated by wick-feed lubrication systems which supplied liquid lubricant so as to maintain a film of lubricant (referred to as an oil wedge) of sufficient thickness between the bearing and the shaft so as to prevent metal-to-metal contact between the shaft and the bearing and so as to result in a low friction bearing. Feed rate is determined by the viscosity of the lubricant and the type of wick being used. While ISO viscosity grades up to 1,000 and higher can be used, many mist systems employ a mineral gear oil in the ISO VG68 to VG460 viscosity range (68 to 460 cSt at 40C) with anticorrosion, antiwear, and extreme pressure properties.. Past problems with wax and additive separation from . As shown in FIG. Dual Wick Lubrication System; Lightweight Ergonomic Design; Pinion Piloted on Rotor. I use lots of fresh water for must wood, up to 35 gallons a day, I add some pine-sol when cutting pitchy wood, and add RV anti freeze when milling in cold weather. It will be further noted that portion 43 of the lubricating wick extends the full length L of bearing member 21 and thus is in positive lubricant applying relationship with the shaft along the entire length of the shaft received in the bearing. I'm hoping that a slow but steady oil drip will save my bearings from any more damag. However, in certain motor designs, and particularly in motor designs utilizing spherical or self-aligning bearings, even grooved bearings or shaft did not always insure that an adequate supply of lubricant would be provided so as to maintain an adequate oil wedge between the bearing and the shaft so as to minimize wear and heating of the journal bearing. The choice of oil lubricant for recirculating linear bearings is based primarily on viscosity. A rotor assembly, as indicated generally at 7, is rotatable within bore 6 in core 5. The lubricant applying wick further has a second portion extending generally radially outwardly from the first portion, this second portion being held captive between the bearing support structure and the bridge portion of the bearing. Typically, the motor includes a rotor shaft, a bearing support and a self-aligning bearing supported thereby journalling the rotor shaft of the motor. Circulating systems keep bearings lubricated at all times. Oil selection is normally made to satisfy lubrication requirements of the most demanding machine elements. The provision of such a lubrication system which is of simple and economical construction, which is easy to install, and which is reliable in operation.
