A turbomolecular pump has a housing, a rotor shaft supported by a plurality of bearings for rotation relative to the housing about an axis of rotation, a deflector, a lubricant supply system and a lubricant transfer device provided on the rotor shaft. The bearings include a rolling bearing that receives lubricant from the lubricant supply system to via the lubricant transfer device. The rolling bearing is disposed intermediate the lubricant transfer device and the deflector and the deflector is configured to deflect lubricant that passes through the rolling bearing outwardly with respect to the rotor shaft.

A lubricating oil passage portion that constitutes a cooling portion is exposed to the outside from a casing. Lubricating oil having absorbed heat of a thrust bearing portion and a journal bearing portion is cooled in the cooling portion, when the lubricating oil moves from an upper oil chamber to a lower oil chamber while circulating by use of gravity. Thus, the circulating lubricating oil prompts cooling of the heated thrust bearing portion and journal bearing portion. Additionally, the lubricating oil passage portion of the cooling portion is provided integrally with the casing, on the radially outer side of the casing.

A lubricating oil supply apparatus may include a rotational portion that rotates together with a rotational shaft and a fixed portion that maintains a fixed location thereof and supplies oil through a space that circles with respect to a rotational center of the rotational portion, thereby supplying oil regardless of a rotational direction of the rotational shaft.

Lubricating oil having absorbed heat of a thrust bearing portion and a journal bearing portion is cooled in the cooling portion, when the lubricating oil moves from an upper oil chamber to a lower oil chamber while circulating by use of gravity. Thus, the circulating lubricating oil prompts cooling of the heated thrust bearing portion and journal bearing portion. Additionally, the lubricating oil passage portion of the cooling portion is provided integrally with the casing, on the radially outer side of the casing. For this reason, the cooling portion does not require long piping.

A pump lubricant supply system has a lubricant reservoir and at least one contactor to engage a lubricant transfer device provided on a rotor shaft of a pump to transfer lubricant from the lubricant reservoir to the lubricant transfer device via the at least one contactor. The lubricant reservoir includes at least a first reservoir portion formed of a first elongate strip of porous material wound to define a first lubricant container body having a longitudinal axis that extends transverse to the longitudinal axis of the elongate strip.

The present invention belongs to the technological field of cooling compressors and, particularly, constructive details of lubricating oil pumps of cooling compressors. Problem to be solved: The current state of the art does not describe any solution of oil pump and construction of rotating shaft capable of achieving the correct lubricating of the moving components that include the compression functional unit of cooling compressor, which operating speed can vary between 700 and 4500 rpm. Solution of the problem: It is disclosed is a variable speed cooling compressor which tubular extension of the oil pump, the inner axial channel of the rotating shaft, the axial channel extension of the rotating shaft and the inner cam channel segment of the rotating axis are all fluidly connected to each other in order to conform a single integrated channel.

In an outboard motor, a feed passage, through which a lubricating oil that flows upward from a gear mechanism due to rotation of the gear mechanism is fed upward from a gear chamber, includes a first feed passage, extending from the gear chamber to a connection passage via a first upstream passage, a spiral passage, and an interior of an upper bearing, in that order, and a second feed passage, extending from the first upstream passage to the connection passage while bypassing the spiral passage via a bypass passage. The bypass passage is positioned farther outward than the spiral passage in a radial direction of the driveshaft. A diameter of a cross section of the bypass passage that is orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to a center line of the driveshaft is smaller than a maximum diameter of the driveshaft.
