A vehicle driveline component with a housing, a rotary power transmission system, a lubricant and a lubrication de-aerator. The housing defines a cavity and a sump. The rotary power transmission system is received in the cavity and includes a plurality of gears that are in meshing engagement. The lubricant is received in the sump and is employed to lubricate the rotary power transmission system. The lubrication de-aerator is received in the housing and has at least one matrix of de-aeration cells that extend between an upper surface and a lower surface. Each of the de-aeration cells has a cell inlet, which is formed through the upper surface, and a cell outlet that is formed through the lower surface. Each of the de-aeration cells tapers between its cell inlet and its cell outlet.

Provided a die lubricant rotating spray tray device, wherein the nozzles, the connecting sleeve bodies, the nozzle connecting pipes, the air pipe joints and the lubricant pipe joints are sequentially connected to form independently-communicated cavity pipelines, compressed air is input from the air pipe joints, a lubricant is input from the lubricant pipe joints, the rotation driving mechanisms drive the spray tray rotators to rotate through the transmission mechanisms, and the spray tray rotators drive the nozzles to rotate, so that the same dosage of the lubricant is sprayed on the maximum pitch circle surfaces of upper and lower dies, the aim of uniformly spraying the forging lubricant on the working surfaces of the upper and lower dies is achieved.

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.

A lubricant assembly that is configured as part of a lubricating system that flings, or slings, fluid lubricants about the interior of compressors. In one embodiment, the lubricant assembly includes a lubricant guide member with a body member that has a pair of peripheral side members with angled surfaces. The construction is amenable to more consistent fabrication constraints (e.g., tolerances), as well as to offer features that can improve operation of the lubricating system, e.g., as operative in the compressors. In use, the lubricant guide member is disposed transverse to a longitudinal axis of a shaft that is configured to rotate a slinger member to fling the lubricant. This configuration captures lubricant that falls downwardly from other parts of the compressors. The angled surfaces of the side members direct this captured lubricant toward the shaft, and other rotating components, of the lubricating system.

A lubricating assembly that is configured as part of a lubricating system that flings, or slings, fluid lubricants about the interior of rotating machinery. In one embodiment, the lubricating assembly includes a bearing clamp member with a clamp body having an outer peripheral edge that has an annular profile that partially circumscribes a longitudinal axis. The annular profile can have first annular section with a first clamp surface and a second clamp surface disposed in opposing relation about a centerline and spaced apart from one another to form a first annular gap. At the bottom of the clamp body, the bearing clamp member is configured with a peripheral wall that bounds a reservoir region. This configuration allows the fluid lubricants to gravity feed through the first annular gap into the reservoir region to retain a volume of the captured lubricant to lubricate moving parts of the lubricating system.

A bearing apparatus is capable of stably supplying an appropriate amount of lubricating oil to a bearing with a simple arrangement, even if a peripheral speed of a rotational shaft increases. The bearing apparatus includes a bearing unit for receiving a load of a rotational shaft, a lubricating oil reservoir disposed below the bearing unit, and an oil disk rotatable together with the rotational shaft to scoop up lubricating oil stored in the lubricating oil reservoir. The oil disk has a side surface facing the bearing unit, the side surface having a groove formed therein. An outer-circumferential-side end surface of the groove extends parallel to an axial direction of the rotational shaft, and constitutes a guide surface for changing a direction of movement of the lubricating oil in the groove from a radial direction of the oil disk to the axial direction of the rotational shaft.

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.
