Device for removing oil from annular spaces

A device for removing oil from an antifriction bearing,

• the bearing comprising an inner ring, an outer ring around and spaced out from the inner ring, bearing elements between the inner and the outer rings, so that the rings can rotate relatively;
• one of the rings being relatively stationary with reference to rotation of the other ring;
• the inner and the outer rings both extending axially away from the bearing elements in one direction to define an annular space which is located between the inner and the outer rings and axially alongside the bearing elements;
• the device for removing oil comprising:
• a stationary part at the one bearing ring around the annular space;
• at least one oil discharge hole passing through the stationary part from the annular space for discharging oil from the annular space through the oil discharge hole;
• an oil guide plate in the annular space located behind or after the oil discharge hole in the direction of rotation of the other ring;
• the guide plate including a baffle plate extending out of the stationary part into the annular space and extending from a location at the stationary part which is behind the oil discharge hole, the baffle plate being directed obliquely in the direction around the annular space counter to the direction of rotation of the other ring and also directed obliquely across the annular space for directing oil into the oil discharge hole.
