Abstract:
A shaft for a bearing lubrication assembly includes an outer surface and a reservoir disposed within the shaft. A first seal groove is formed on the outer surface and extends a full circumference of the outer surface. A second seal groove is also formed on the outer surface and extends the full circumference of the outer surface. A radial port extends from the reservoir to the outer surface, the radial port intersecting the outer surface between the first seal groove and the second seal groove. A plurality of chambers are formed in the shaft and disposed axially between the first seal groove and the second seal groove. The plurality of chambers are open to the outer surface with each chamber having a closed bottom disposed radially inward from the outer surface. Each chamber is also circumferentially spaced from one another.
