An axle system having a first axle assembly, a second axle assembly, and a conduit. The conduit may fluidly connect the first axle assembly to the second axle assembly such that lubricant may flow between a first housing assembly of the first axle assembly and a second housing assembly of the second axle assembly.

Methods and systems are provided for a lubricant catching device. In one example, a system may include a device for capturing lubricant flowing in a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction. The device receives lubricant from a lubricated, rotating component.

An automotive driveline unit housing can be that of a power transfer unit (PTU), a final drive unit (FDU), or a rear drive unit (RDU). The automotive driveline unit housing has a lubricant feed passage spanning from an inlet to an outlet. The outlet can be situated near a seal of the automotive driveline unit, near a bearing of the unit, near both the seal and bearing, or near another component. The lubricant feed passage can have a flow restrictor located near its outlet. When the unit is in a connected state, lubricant is received in the lubricant feed passage via a spinning gear of the unit. The received lubricant trickles through the flow restrictor. And when the unit is in a disconnected state, lubricant continues to trickle through the flow restrictor, even though lubricant may no longer be received in the lubricant feed passage via the gear.

A centrifugal pump includes at least one impeller and a distribution arrangement. The at least one impeller is driven by a shaft. The shaft is rotatably supported by bearings. The distribution arrangement is immersed in a lubricating means. The distribution arrangement is operatively connected to the shaft. The distribution arrangement is configured as a structure formed of at least two elements.

A power system includes: a rotating body; a housing that accommodates the rotating body; and a storage portion that is provided in a bottom of the housing to store a liquid medium. The rotating body is partially located in the storage portion, and an inner surface of the housing includes a protrusion that extends above the rotating body to intersect with a rotation direction of the rotating body.

An eccentric shaft assembly includes a first eccentric shaft including an interior surface forming a recess therein, an exterior surface, at least one first fluid inlet extending between the interior surface and the exterior surface, at least one first fluid outlet extending between the interior surface and the exterior surface. The eccentric shaft assembly further includes a second eccentric shaft disposed in the recess of the first eccentric shaft that includes a second bearing surface engaging the first bearing subassembly opposite the first bearing surface and at least one first fan blade for rotating about an axis of rotation to force a fluid to enter the recess through the first fluid inlet(s) and exit the recess through the first fluid outlet(s), to lubricate and/or cool a bearing subassembly disposed between the first eccentric shaft and the second eccentric shaft.
