Lubrication structure

Abstract

A lubrication structure includes a shaft having therein the oil passage, which is bottomed, extending in an axial direction, and a pipe that is open at both ends and disposed in the oil passage along the shaft. The shaft includes discharge channels open at an outer circumference of the shaft and extending from the oil passage toward an outer side in a radial direction. The discharge channels are provided to be spaced from each other in the axial direction. The pipe includes a partition provided on an outer circumference of the pipe, and the partition is located between openings of adjacent ones of the discharge channels and is in contact with an inner surface of the oil passage.
