ABSTRACT:
Lubrication of a pinion and bull gear arranged in a bevel gear orientation is accomplished by discharging a stream of lubricant through a nozzle and onto the surface of the pinion web section. Centrifugal forces due to rotation of the pinion cause the lubricant to spread radially outwardly on the web section surface and to form a film thereon. A portion of the lubricant is thrown off of the pinion as the pinion rotates, and strikes the teeth of the bull gear, thereby lubricating the contact surfaces of the bull gear teeth.
