ABSTRACT:
According to the invention, a lubrication element is located in a sleeve bearing and extends through the central annular surface that mates with a shaft. The lubrication element has a cool lubricating fluid aperture that leads to a cool fluid space defined by a base face that is generally tangential to the central surface and a downstream face that is generally normal to the central surface. The down stream face extends at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the sleeve bearing. The lubrication element also has an upstream face that discharges hot lubricating fluid. The upstream face also extends at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the bearing. The upstream face directs hot fluid to a side of the sleeve bearing.
