A servo press machine includes an eccentric shaft, a connecting rod, a slide, an eccentric shaft-side sliding surface, a connecting rod-side sliding surface, an oil supply port, and a supply mechanism. The oil supply port opens on the eccentric shaft-side sliding surface or the connecting rod-side sliding surface, and supplies a lubricant between the eccentric shaft-side sliding surface and the connecting rod-side sliding surface. The supply mechanism supplies the lubricant to the oil supply port. The eccentric shaft-side sliding surface is formed on the eccentric shaft that is rotationally driven by a servomotor. The oil supply port is formed on the connecting rod-side sliding surface of the connecting rod that moves upward and downward due to the rotational driving of the eccentric shaft.

A lubricant application device includes a base body configured to be mounted to an end surface of a gear. The base body includes a port configured to be connected to a source of lubricant and a holder for holding a lubricant applicator supported by the base body. A lubricant passage connects the port to the holder, and a lubricant applicator is mounted in the holder. The lubricant applicator is a coiled wire defining an internal passage for carrying the lubricant and may include a first length of coils with no axial spacing and a second length of coils that are axial spaced.

A rotary electric machine is provided that includes a housing that forms an internal cavity that houses a rotor/stator assembly, in which the rotor is positioned on a main shaft of the machine, a lubricating fluid reservoir defining a hub portion defining an inner surface, and at least one roller bearing coupled to the main shaft and supported by the hub portion and by a bushing. The machine includes an oil ring fastened to the bushing and arranged between the main shaft of the machine and the inner surface of the hub portion, wherein the oil ring includes a wall having a substantially circular cross section and at least one elongate and inclined projection on an outer surface of the wall, each elongate and inclined projection having a lower edge and an upper edge and in which the rotation of the oil ring generates a pressure difference between the lower edge and the upper edge to force the lubricant towards the at least one roller bearing.
