A device for passing lubricant out of a lubricant collecting container to a lubricant pump, in particular for an oil circuit of an internal combustion engine. The device including a lubricant intake pipe and a sedimentation container, which is connected fluidically to the lubricant intake pipe.

Provided is a sliding guide device for a machine tool, which is capable of supplying an appropriate amount of lubricating oil onto a sliding surface in a stable manner for a long period of time. A movable body is provided with a porous-body accommodation space that is open toward a guide face of a base. The porous-body accommodation space is in communication with a lubricating-oil supply passage that is in communication with an external lubricating oil supply unit. In the porous-body accommodation space, a porous body is disposed in a manner to provide a gap G between the porous body and the guide face of the base.

A constant temperature water supply system that adjusts water from a water supply source to a constant temperature by a constant temperature water supply apparatus and supplies the water to a processing apparatus. The constant temperature water supply apparatus is provided with water temperature adjusting units that adjust processing water and cooling water to predetermined temperatures and temperature adjustment control units that reset predetermined temperatures of the water temperature adjusting units. The processing apparatus is provided with water temperature detectors that detect the water temperatures of the processing water and the cooling water and water temperature managing units that each calculate the temperature difference between the water temperature detected by the water temperature detector and a desired temperature set in advance.

A method for distributing a coolant to a grinding site of a grinding wheel, including rotating the grinding wheel, injecting the coolant in an inlet of the grinding wheel disposed proximate to an axis of rotation of the grinding wheel, moving the coolant fluid from the inlet along a plurality of internal grooves of the grinding wheel outwardly towards a plurality of outlets, and expelling the coolant outwardly from the plurality of outlets at an angle of at most 15 degrees with respect to a tangent to a circumference of the grinding wheel at the outlet.

A coolant distribution system uses two premixed streams of coolant at either extreme of a concentration range, and mixes these two streams in the correct percentage to obtain the desired concentration. Mixing the two streams follows a pulse width approach, and the system may use a manifold to deliver fluid to multiple machines.

To provide an automatic chuck greasing device in a crankshaft miller capable of ensuring chuck greasing without missing its timing and preventing failure to remove excess grease by wiping. In a crankshaft miller (1) which cuts, using a rotary cutter (7), a workpiece (2) held by a chuck (3), the automatic greasing device includes: a grease supply device (25) for supplying grease to sliding parts inside a chuck (3) including one between a chuck body (3a) and a chuck jaw (3b) in response to a greasing command signal outputted by a greasing command signal output unit (35) which has received a rotary cutter replacement command signal as a trigger signal from a rotary cutter replacement command signal output unit (33); and a notification means (30a, 30b) for notifying that a cutter (7) needs replacement in response to a notification command signal outputted by a notification command signal output unit (36) which has received the rotary cutter replacement command signal as the trigger signal from a rotary cutter replacement command signal output unit (33).

A power tool, for example, a portable circular saw, includes a fan, a motor configured to rotate the fan, an output part or shaft driven by the motor, a motor housing that houses the motor, a grip housing connected to the motor housing, a trigger associated with the grip housing, and a brake member configured to brake a rotation of the motor, the brake member being mounted inside the grip housing. The brake member may be a resistive element of a rheostatic braking system. The housing and fan are configured such that cooling air is directed to cool the brake member.

A bearing device includes a rolling bearing having an outer ring and an inner ring, an outer ring spacer disposed adjacent to the outer ring, and an inner spacer disposed adjacent the inner ring. The outer ring and the outer ring spacer are fitted to a housing, and the inner ring and the inner ring spacer are fitted to a rotary shaft. The outer ring spacer is provided with a nozzle, which is configured to inject a cooling fluid (R) toward an outer circumferential surface of the inner ring, and is inclined so that an injection port thereof is inclined forwardly in a rotation direction of the inner ring. An inclination angle a of the nozzle with respect to an axial direction is set to a value within a range from 50° to 90°.
