Abstract
The present invention provides a lubrication device for coating a lubricant onto the outer circumferential surface of a bearing. A lubrication device comprises a housing and a lubrication member that is accommodated within the housing. A bearing crosses and passes through the lubrication member so that an outer circumferential surface of the bearing comes into contact with an inner surface of the lubrication member, and due to this configuration, it becomes possible for the lubricant to be coated onto the outer circumferential surface of the bearing.
Claims9
A cam mechanism comprising a rotation member rotatable about a rotation member axis, a plurality of bearings fixed to the rotation member, and a cam housing accommodating the rotation member and the plurality of bearings, wherein:
- the cam mechanism further comprises at least one lubrication device mounted to the cam housing, wherein:
- the lubrication device comprises a housing and a lubrication member that is accommodated within the housing, and the rotation member rotates about the rotation member axis such that the plurality of bearings rotate about the rotation member axis, the lubrication device is configured to apply a lubricant to an outer circumferential surface of the bearing by passing the bearing across the lubrication device such that the outer circumferential surface of the bearing is in contact with an inner surface of the lubrication member.
