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.

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 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.

A conveyor lubricating system includes a lubricant feed line, a lubricant applicator including a lubricant flow regulator and a lubricant brush, and a cantilevered support arm including a first rigid member and a second rigid member connected together by a pivoting joint. The lubricant flow regulator is fluidly connected to the lubricant feed line and the lubricant brush is fluidly connected to the lubricant flow regulator. The lubricant brush includes bristles and a manifold to distribute the conveyor lubricant across a width of the lubricant brush. The first rigid member is secured to the lubricant applicator at an end opposite the pivoting joint and the second rigid member is secured to a stationary support such that the second rigid member is cantilevered over a conveyor and such that the lubricant brush contacts the conveyor. An associated method of applying conveyor lubricant to a conveyor is also provided.

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.
