Provided are: a lubricating device for a bearing; and an exhaust turbosupercharger, wherein a bearing device (36) is provided with a housing (15) with a hollow shape, and journal bearings (21, 22) which rotatably support a rotary shaft (14) arranged inside the housing (15), the bearing device (36) being further provided with: a third feeding passage (43) and a fourth feeding passage (44) through which lubricant is fed toward outer circumferential surfaces (21b, 22b) of the journal bearings (21, 22); a sixth feeding passage (46) through which lubricant is fed toward a space section (16A) between the journal bearings (21, 22); and a guide section which guides, toward inner circumferential surfaces (21c, 22c) of the journal bearings (21, 22), the lubricant fed from the sixth feeding passage (46) to the space section (16A).

A lubricating tube includes an inner surrounding surface that has a non-circular cross-section, angularly spaced-apart inner lubricant-storing recesses, and guide surface portions each of which is interconnected between two adjacent ones of the inner lubricant-storing recesses. The inner lubricant-storing recesses and the guide surface portions constitute the inner surrounding surface and cooperatively define a roller passage hole. The inner lubricant-storing recesses are indented from the guide surface portions toward the outer surrounding surface. A slide rail device having the lubricating tube is also disclosed.

A pump includes a pump body. The pump may also include a pump mounting flange configured to mount the pump to an engine flange including four clocked mounting holes. The pump mounting flange may include a first set of four mounting holes corresponding to the four clocked mounting holes in a first orientation. The pump mounting flange may include a second set of four mounting holes corresponding to the four clocked mounting holes in a second orientation.

A lubrication system for a roller chain. The lubrication system provides a lubricant reservoir, at least one piston pump, and synchronization means. The synchronization means has engaging means dedicated to mechanically mesh with roller chain in motion, and actuating means fastened in motion with the synchronization means the actuating means being in constant mechanical cooperation with a piston pump.

A pump includes a cam plate, and an input shaft for rotationally driving the cam plate. A pump housing at least partially surrounds the cam plate and defines a cam plate oil reservoir around at least a portion of the cam plate. A bearing support is at least partially disposed within the cam plate oil reservoir. The bearing support defines a bearing oil reservoir at least partially surrounding a portion of the input shaft. At least one passage extends between the bearing oil reservoir and the cam plate oil reservoir. Dynamic motion imparted on oil within the cam plate oil reservoir facilitates migration of oil from the cam plate oil reservoir through a bearing at least partially supported by the bearing support into the bearing oil reservoir and through the at least one passage into the cam plate oil reservoir.

A wind turbine drive train component (22) comprising a rotating shaft (61) with a radial seal (50) is provided. The radial seal (50) comprises a stationary part and a rotating part. The stationary part comprises a ring (51) with an inner edge and an outer edge, the inner edge being configured for contactlessly surrounding the shaft (61). The rotary part comprising a disc (52), coaxially connected to the shaft (61) for rotation therewith and comprising a flange (53) that wraps around the outer edge of the ring (51). The radial seal (50) further comprises an annular air lock gap (55) for containing an amount of lubrication fluid (64) and thereby closing off the air lock gap (55) when the rotary part rotates at a rotational speed above a predetermined threshold speed, the annular air lock gap (55) being formed by an inner surface of the flange (53), an outer part of the opposing parallel surface of the disc (52) and the outer edge of the ring (51).

According to an aspect, a method of providing internal shaft lubrication includes drip feeding a lubricant to a feed tube within a central bore of a shaft body. The lubricant is urged along a lubrication flow path including at least one rifling groove on an inner wall of the shaft body formed by the central bore and a plurality of lubrication holes axially distributed along the shaft body that fluidically connects the inner wall with an outer wall of the shaft body. The lubricant is sprayed out of the lubrication holes responsive to rotation of the shaft body.
