ABSTRACT:
In order to provide long-term lubrication of bearings, especially ball or roller bearings that hold rotating shafts, there is provided a bearing housing defining internal reservoirs and passages as well as a conveyor mechanism which is attached to a part of the rotating shaft, for example as a helical conveyor screw, which transports lubricant under pressure through the internal channels, and thereby continually resupplies fresh lubricant to the rotating parts of the bearing. The apparatus may be used for holding the ends of shafts as well as for holding the intermediate portions of the shafts. Means for resupplying lubricant and expelling old lubricant are provided.
