A lubricating system has a pump to force a viscous lubricant from a supply of lubricant to a lubricator at which the lubricant is to be dispensed onto a cable, wire, or the like that is being pulled through a conduit. A sensor, associated with a spool from which the cable is being dispensed, is be used to automatically control the amount of lubricant that is to be dispensed onto the cable. A second described system comprises a custom bucket or bucket insert which allow a cable to pass through the bucket whereupon lubricant will be automatically applied to the cable and the container includes a profiled base to ensure proper passage of the cable through the lubricant and ensure the maximum usage of any lubricant.

The present disclosure relates to a device for lubricating an internal combustion engine having a crankshaft, which is connected to at least one connecting rod. The device has at least one first flow limiter, in particular a restrictor, for reducing a lubricating fluid flow of a lubricating fluid stream passed to the at least one first flow limiter. The device has a plurality of crankshaft bearings for the rotatable support of the crankshaft, wherein the plurality of crankshaft bearings is provided in fluid communication downstream of the at least one first flow limiter. The device has at least one big end bearing for the rotatable support of the at least one connecting rod, wherein the at least one big end bearing is provided in fluid communication downstream of at least one crankshaft bearing of the plurality of crankshaft bearings.

An oil restrictor for emergency lubrication of a component for an aircraft turbine engine includes a metal cylindrical body having a longitudinal axis and configured to be housed in and shrink-fitted into a cylindrical bore of a part of the turbine engine. The restrictor further includes an integrated oil circuit enabling oil to pass through the restrictor along the axial extent thereof. The body is a one-piece body, and the circuit has at least two oil channels recessed on an outer cylindrical surface of the body and extending around and/or along the axis.

A minimal lubrication device including a lubricating fluid storing tank, conduit for supplying the lubricant pressurized to at least one modular element. The at least one modular element including a lubricating fluid conduit intercepted by flow regulator and compressed air conduit, such conduits fluidically connected to air and lubricant mixing element. The flow regulator including a shutter that can be at least partially housed in calibrated hole and movable between upper and lower stroke position ends. The calibrated hole in fluid communication, on one side, with pressurized lubricant delivery and, on the other side, with the mixing element. The shutter having at least one conical profile portion insertable in the calibrated hole. The conical profile portion has a surface groove facing a surface defining the calibrated hole at least when the shutter is in an intermediate position between the lower and upper stroke position ends.

An insertion amount grasping device includes: a first jig fixed to a fixation target in a state where the first jig is positioned against the fixation target, the first jig having a guide through-hole extending toward an application portion in a state where the first jig is fixed to the fixation target; an insertion portion inserted into the guide through-hole such that the insertion portion is introduced toward the application portion in a state where an operator grips the insertion portion; and a protruding portion as a protruding portion provided in the insertion portion, the protruding portion inserted into the guide through-hole and cause friction between the protruding portion and the guide through-hole when a predetermined positional relationship is established between a distal end part of the insertion portion and the application portion along with an introduction operation to introduce the insertion portion toward the application portion.

A pig stopping device for stopping a pipeline inspection gauge in the receiving station of a pipeline is provided. The device provides a cylindrical frame sized to be inserted into the receiving station of a pipeline. The cylindrical frame includes a pair of opposing circular plates having inner surfaces connected by a plurality of elongated rods, thereby forming an interior volume within the cylindrical frame. The circular plates each comprise a plurality of apertures configured to allow the flow of liquid and debris therethrough and into the interior volume. A cage wraps around the exterior of the elongated rods, thereby enclosing the interior volume but allowing the flow of liquid therethrough. In this way, debris pushed into the interior volume of the pig stopping device by a pig or the flow of product in the pipeline is caught therein and prevented from flowing into a bypass line of the receiving station.

A lubricant injector is provided including a body having a passageway, an inlet, an outlet, and an aperture for lubricant to flow from a measuring chamber into the passageway. A piston is slidable along the passageway. When the piston is in a retracted position, a discharge chamber is present in the passageway between the piston and the outlet. A biasing spring is disposed in the passageway for urging the piston towards the retracted position. The injector has a rest mode, wherein no pressurized lubricant is supplied to the inlet, and the piston is retracted. The injector has a pressurized mode wherein the piston is under pressure and is moved to its extended position to urge lubricant out the outlet. In the rest mode, the spring urges the piston towards its retracted position to create the discharge chamber and to open the aperture between the measuring chamber and the discharge chamber.
