METHOD OF LUBRICATING GEAR Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC F16H57/04 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of lubricating a gear, mainly reversible gear with vertical toothed wheels. Method involves application of lubricant under pressure on side surfaces of teeth of gear wheels by means of feeders, rigidly fixed relative to revolving gear wheels. Lubricant is applied on leading side surfaces of teeth of driven gear wheels on side of tops of teeth on sections of side surfaces, adjacent said tops. Feeders are arranged in areas of top of wheels and each of them is equipped with several outlets. Outlets are arranged across rims between their ends along lines perpendicular to sad end faces. Lubrication of each gear wheel is performed during its complete revolution. Lubricant is supplied cyclically during passage of outlets of feeders above sections of recesses of rims of wheels by setting mode of lubricant feed, preventing spontaneous separation of lubricating material supplied from outlets of feeders.

EFFECT: higher quality of lubrication.
