Radial hole arrangement intercepting a rotational lubrication line parallel to and non-coaxial with the rotational axis

A lubrication system for a transmission comprising:

• a shaft, where the lubrication system is a forced lubrication system, where lubricant is driven under power to the shaft, where the shaft is horizontal with respect to a vertical axis, and the vertical axis is parallel with a direction of gravity, the shaft having:
• a fluid passage, where the fluid passage has a centerline that is parallel and non-coaxial to an axis of rotation of the shaft, where the centerline is separated from the axis of rotation via a distance, where lubricant housed by the fluid passage has a fluid-free surface and is not driven by a pressure gradient;
• and
• at least two axially spaced apart radial channels fluidly communicating with the fluid passage, where the axially spaced apart radial channels are inclined at different angles with respect to a plane that contains the axis of rotation and a central axis of the fluid passage.
