The present invention relates to a drive for reaching a desired position of a component such as of a rotor blade, a crane tower, a superstructure and the like, having at least two drive elements that are in toothed engagement with one another and of which at least one is drivable from a drive source and the other is connectable to the component, and having a lubricating device for lubricating the drive elements, wherein at least one lubricant passage for the supply of lubricant to a meshing tooth pair is led through one of the drive elements. It is proposed to effect the supply of the lubricant by a distributor that is connected upstream of the lubricant passage integrated in the drive element and to control the connection between a supply passage of the distributor and the at least one lubricant passage integrated in the drive element by a relative movement between the drive element and the distributor.

The present disclosure is directed to an improved metalworking lubricant monitoring, logging, recording, calculating, analyzing, alerting and reporting apparatus, system and method that monitors data and changes to the lubricant application process and the amount and concentration of lubricant being dispensed or delivered, analyzes, calculates and records data and changes or alterations to the amount dispensed, and alerts or reports the data and changes in real-time, when necessary, over various communication channels, to those responsible for overseeing the system changes.

A rotary multiport greasing valve having an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve within the outer sleeve. The outer sleeve has at least one inlet port and at least 2 outlet ports. The inner sleeve has an inlet port, a central passageway, and an outlet port. The inner sleeves inlet port is fluidly connected to the outer sleeve's inlet port. The inner sleeve rotates within the outer sleeve so that the inner sleeves outlet port is circumferentially aligned with a selected outer sleeve outlet port creating a fluid pathway from the outer sleeve inlet port into the inner sleeve's inlet port through the central passageway through the inner sleeve's outlet port and finally through the outer sleeves outlet port to create an open flowpath. In certain instances, the inner sleeve inlet port is longitudinally shifted so as not to align with any portion of an outlet sleeve outlet port.

A lubrication device, a lubrication system and a method are for applying a lubricant from a lubricating-fluid reservoir to an internal threaded portion of a pipe body. The lubrication device includes: a rotary device having: first and second coupling parts, and fluid passage for carrying the lubricant from the first coupling part to the second coupling part. The first and the second coupling parts are arranged to rotate relative to each other around an axis that coincides in the main with the longitudinal axis of the pipe body. An applicator body is connected to the second coupling part to allow rotation around the rotational axis of the rotary device. The applicator body has a fluid passage with an outlet for carrying the fluid to the applicator surface as the fluid passage in the applicator body is in fluid communication with a corresponding fluid passage in the rotary device.
