Owner name: 1, a dynamoelectric machine (e.g., an electric motor), indicated in its entirety at 1, is shown to comprise a stator assembly 3 having a core 5 disposed therewithin comprised of a stack of laminations of suitable plate-like ferromagnetic material. Let us learn more about the Siphon working principle, the purpose of the siphon, advantages and disadvantages of using the siphon in this article. 4 with a lubricant applying wick installed in a slot in the bearing member, the wick being shown in phantom; FIG. Up to 50% savings in lubricant costs due to . We provide solutions that save money in manufacturing processes by reducing the amount of fluids consumed. Linear guiding device with rail race lubricating elements. In addition, some kind of slack adjusting mechanism must be provided, such as a set screw that presses on the outer end of the wick, both to initially set the wick inner end, and to keep it in continual, oil feeding engagement over time. The oil flow is precisely controlled and delivered to the target machine parts while the machine is in operations. As shown in FIGS. Oil-mist lubricating systems should operate at pressures of ___ psi. Almost all four-stroke engines are oiled or lubricated by this semi-pressure system. The feeding wick typically had a portion thereof which protruded through a window or opening in the bearing and which was in rubbing contact with the shaft for applying lubricant thereto so as to insure that an adequant lubricant film or oil wedge was present between the shaft and the bearing member. Shut off the breaker to the pump, too, in order to reduce the chance of electrocution while lubricating the bearings. Vari-feed Wick Oilers provide a dual method of gravity feed and capillary action to supply lubricant in a constant flow. Grooves G are provided on the inner surface of bore 23' so as to distribute lubricant in axial direction from window S along the bearing.

Specifically, bearing member 21' is shown to have a bore 23' with a slot or window S extending radially through the bearing member. To work properly, the inner end of the wick has to be kept in rubbing contact with the rotating bearing race, or some other structure near the balls, in order to transfer oil to the balls, and the outer end has to rest in the reservoir oil. Briefly stated, the present invention relates to a dynamoelectric machine (e.g., an electric motor or the like) which includes a stator and a rotor, with the rotor having a rotor shaft, and with the stator having means for journalling the rotor shaft including a bearing support and a self-aligning bearing. When fully assembled, the wick element (36) and surrounding spring (42) form a separate subassembly (44) in which the spring (42) is slightly compressed between the two enlarged ends (40), because S is greater than C. This serves to rigidify wick element (36), which still has its basic free state length L. Spring (42) has an additional function, described next. Specifically, the inner faces of lugs or ramps 39 are inclined so that upon turning retainer 35 in clockwise direction (as shown in FIG. Lubrication systems distribute the lubricant to the moving machine parts in contact. Oil is easier to keep clean for recirculating systems. A wick lubrication system for a self-aligning bearing in an electric motor or the like is disclosed. Circulating systems . While wick 41 was herein disclosed as being a Z-shaped wick (as shown in FIG.
