Devices for use with wireline sheaves are provided that allow for capturing grease freed from a wireline as it passes around an upper sheave during wireline retraction from a wellbore. Once the freed grease is captured, it is reapplied to the wireline as it passes from the upper sheave to the lower sheave where the grease may be captured for disposal.

The present invention improves the drainability of lubricating oil at a thrust bearing. The present invention comprises: a rotating shaft; a thrust bearing that is provided to the rotating shaft and restricts the axial-direction movement of the rotating shaft; and an oil reservoir part (20) that has formed therein an oil reservoir space (20a) that is provided to be adjacent to the thrust bearing in the axial direction and to open downward, the oil reservoir space (20a) having formed therein an inclined surface (20aa) that, in a region that is in and below a horizontal plane H that passes through the center of the rotating shaft, protrudes to the thrust bearing side and is inclined along the rotational direction of the rotating shaft.

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.

Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a system comprising: a lubrication applicator device that includes: a base having a cavity that is configured to store a lubricant, and a plunger that is configured to seat a head of a bolt in a counterbore of the base, where the plunger is axially movable in the cavity and is configured to be at least partially recessed in the cavity to cause a side of the bolt to be immersed in the lubricant.

A bearing assembly includes: a shaft; a housing; a support structure; at least one first seal; at least one electrode connected to the support structure and arranged between the support structure and the shaft such that an oil vapor from the oil bath, which passes through the at least one first seal, must pass through a gap between the at least one electrode and the shaft in order to escape, the bearing assembly being configured for an electrical voltage to be applied between the at least one electrode and the shaft so as to direct oil particles contained in the oil vapor onto the at least one electrode such that the oil particles are separated at the at least one electrode; and a drainage channel configured for enabling oil separated at the at least one electrode to flow through the drainage channel into the oil bath.

Methods and systems are provided for a lubricant distribution assembly comprising a rotating component with a recessed circumferentially surrounded by a radially outer section, the radially inners side of which forms a surface of an undercut groove. The lubricant distribution assembly further includes a lubricant sump separated from the rotating component by a wall, a hollow tube that delivers lubricant from the lubricant sump to the lubricant distribution assembly and a lubricant deflector positioned within an upper portion of the lubricant distribution assembly and which lies in a plane that is parallel to a first axial side of the rotating component.
