ABSTRACT:
A lubrication system is provided for a transmission mechanism supported on input and output shafts, and a chain drive rotatably connects these shafts. The chain and drive elements on the shafts are provided with a casing for isolating the mechanism, which collects an oil bath within the bottom of the transmission casing for lubricating a chain or other transmission member. An oil pump supplies oil from a reservoir to various areas to be specifically lubricated within the transmission. Feed means associated with the oil pump regulates the level of the transmission oil bath. The system may additionally contain an oil strainer, an external cooler, a relief valve to limit the pressure from the oil pump, or various combinations of such elements. The various points of lubrication within the casing, in turn, drain into the casing. Oil level within the transmission casing is regulated to keep the level low and at the same time to maintain sufficient oil for lubricating the chain.
