Description
- The subject matter disclosed herein relates to a lubrication ring and, more particularly, to a lubrication ring for use with a shaft lubrication apparatus.
- A lubricating apparatus typically includes a rotatable shaft, a lubrication sump and a lubrication ring. The lubrication ring is generally disposed about and hangs freely from the rotatable shaft whereby a portion of the lubrication ring contacts a portion of the rotatable shaft relative to a gravitation direction and another portion of the lubrication ring sits in the lubrication sump. The lubrication ring thus rotates along with the rotation of the rotatable shaft such that the lubrication ring rotates through the lubrication sump. In so doing, the lubrication ring carries lubricant from the lubrication sump to the rotatable shaft where it is deposited.
- Often, the lubricating apparatus provides insufficient amounts of lubrication to the rotatable shaft due to the design of the lubrication ring. This can lead to dry runs of the rotatable shaft and potential damage. As a result, it is frequently necessary to provide more than one lubrication ring in a given lubrication apparatus, which increases material costs and service time.
- According to one aspect of the invention, a lubrication ring is provided and includes a first annular member formed of a first material and a second annular member formed of a second material, which is different from the first material. The first and second annular members are disposed to abut one another along complementary radial surfaces thereof such that the first annular member surrounds the second annular member. The second material is a lubricant retaining material.
- According to another aspect of the invention, a lubrication ring is provided and includes an annular member, including a body having opposed inward and outward radial portions and opposed forward and aft axial portions extending between the opposed inward and outward radial portions. The inward radial portion includes first radial surfaces disposed at a first radial plane, second radial surfaces disposed at a second radial plane, and third surfaces having non-zero radial components and non-zero axial components. The third surfaces are formed to extend between the first and second radial surfaces.
- According to yet another aspect of the invention, a lubrication ring is provided and includes a first annular member formed of a first material, a second annular member formed of a second material, which is different from the first material and a third annular member formed of a third material, which is different from the first and second materials. Respective cross-sections of the second and third annular members are encompassed within a cross-section of the first annular member. The first annular member includes a body having opposed inward and outward radial portions and opposed forward and aft axial portions extending between the opposed inward and outward radial portions and the inward radial portion is formed to define through-holes extending from a radial surface to the third annular member.
- These and other advantages and features will become more apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the drawings.
- The subject matter, which is regarded as the invention, is particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the claims at the conclusion of the specification.
