A negative-pressure balance system for a gearbox of a centrifugal compressor includes the gearbox, a hermetically-sealed low-level oil collecting tank and a U-shaped negative-pressure balance pipe. The gearbox is connected to a respirator, and the back pressure of the respirator is a local ambient atmospheric pressure. The bottom of the gearbox and the low-level oil collecting tank are connected by an oil conduit. An oil demister communicated with the low-level oil collecting tank is mounted at the top of the low-level oil collecting tank. The oil demister at least includes a ventilation device. The respirator is communicated with a front-end lubricating point in the gearbox. One end of the U-shaped negative-pressure balance pipe is communicated with the respirator, and the other end of the U-shaped negative-pressure balance pipe is communicated with a rear-end lubricating point in the gearbox.

A front grease retention unit is provided under a front plunger and a wall is provided between the retention unit and a gear accommodation unit. Furthermore, a front grease receiving member is provided under the front plunger and a front metal bearing, and grease falling into the front grease receiving member is sent toward the outer circumferential face of the front plunger. The grease is pushed out by using the vertical oscillation of a front metal anchor bolt in orbital mode. A rear grease receiving member is provided under a rear plunger and a rear metal bearing, and grease falling into the rear grease receiving member is sent toward the outer circumferential face of the rear plunger. The grease in a grease reservoir groove is pushed out by using the vertical oscillation of a rear metal anchor bolt in orbital mode.

A gerotor pump arrangement for extracting hydraulic fluid from a transmission housing of a transmission. A first gerotor set has a first inner rotor and a first outer rotor, and a second gerotor set has a second inner rotor and a second outer rotor. The first gerotor set forms a hydraulically drivable drive side of the gerotor pump arrangement, and the second gerotor set forms a pump side, driven by the first gerotor set, wherein the first and second inner rotors are rotationally fixedly mounted on a common shaft which is rotatable about a rotational axis. A transmission with such a gerotor pump arrangement is also disclosed.

A method and system for an axle assembly are provided. The axle assembly, in one example, includes a cover at least partially circumferentially surrounding a shaft, a bearing coupled to the shaft and the cover, the bearing including an outer race, and a bearing adjuster including a first axial side adjacent to the outer race and configured to set a bearing preload and/or end play. The assembly further includes a lubricant seal spaced axially away from the bearing adjuster and sealing a lubricant bore and the lubricant bore traverses the cover and extends axially toward the bearing adjuster.

Disclosed is an oil drain plug apparatus, wherein the oil drain plug apparatus is mounted on an automobile component containing a fluid including oil, and the oil drain plug apparatus includes a mounting portion provided on the automobile component and having a fastening hole penetrating the mounting portion; a plug portion configured to be inserted into the fastening hole and mounted on the mounting portion; and a sealing portion for sealing a gap between the mounting portion and the plug portion, wherein the sealing portion is mounted on the mounting portion while being coupled to the plug portion, wherein the plug portion includes a plug configured to be inserted into the automobile component through the fastening hole when coupled to the mounting portion; and a cap extending from the plug so as to be exposed to the outside of the automobile component through the fastening hole when coupled to the mounting portion, and the plug portion is rotated after being inserted into the fastening hole, and is fixed to the mounting portion, wherein one or more interference blades configured to protrude from the outer circumferential surface of the cap and bend toward the plug are formed on the cap to limit the rotation angle of the plug portion relative to the mounting portion. With this configuration, easy assembly may be realized, and maintainability and repairability may be improved.

A transmission gear train includes at least a pair of gears, to which power is transmitted from drive force sources; gear cases in which lubricating oil is sealed and which accommodate the transmission gear train; and a plurality of drain holes provided in the gear cases and configured to discharge the lubricating oil from insides of the gear cases.

The present disclosure is an axle assembly for a landfill compactor. The axle assembly may comprise an axle housing, a carrier housing located proximate the center of the axle housing, a drain plug located on an underside of the carrier housing, and a guard attached to the underside of the carrier housing with adhesive such that the guard covers the drain plug, the guard being configured to protect and give access to the drain.

A contaminant-flushing machine for removing contaminants from a container, such as an engine transmission, air-conditioner coil, or transmission cooler, which includes hoses for coupling to the transmission cooler and a pump for circulating fluid through the hoses and the transmission cooler, the flushing machine being configured to terminate all circulating of fluid when a pressure drop is detected during times when the fluid is circulating only in the primary flow direction, but not when the flow direction is being reversed.

A transmission for a motor vehicle includes a housing and a gear set. An oil drainage channel is formed by the housing and/or by an element connected to the housing and is arranged spatially underneath the gear set. The oil drainage channel includes at least one gear set-side inlet port, a closed underside, and an oil sump-side outlet port at one end of the oil drainage channel, which are designed and arranged in such that oil from the gear set enters the oil drainage channel through the at least one inlet port and is guided along the closed underside to the outlet port. A suction port of a hydraulic unit of the transmission is arranged in the oil sump spatially underneath the closed underside of the oil drainage channel and axially offset with respect to the outlet port.

A joint structure of a robot includes a first member, a second member which is rotatably supported around a horizontal rotation axis line with respect to the first member, and an actuator which rotates the second member with respect to the first member, a through-holes, each of which allows a lubrication space in which a lubricant for the actuator is enclosed to connect with an outer space is provided in at least one of the first member and the second member, and more than three of the through-holes are provided at an interval in a circumferential direction centering around the horizontal rotation axis line.
