A mechanism is provided for allowing the closure to the lubricant line to be optionally cleared.
Claims20
A bearing arrangement comprising an area which is to be supplied with lubricant, the area being connected to a lubricant reservoir via a lubricant line, the lubricant reservoir comprising a number of individual reservoirs each containing a portioned amount of lubricant to be supplied to said area of the bearing arrangement to be supplied with lubricant with closure to the lubricant line, and means for selectively clearing the closure to the lubricant line to introduce lubricant in each of the individual reservoirs to the lubricant line, wherein the means for selectively clearing the closure to the lubricant line comprises a film or foil adapted to be perforated by manually applying external pressure to the individual reservoirs.
A bearing arrangement comprising:
- a pair of rails between which is located a plurality of rolling bodies;
- a lubricant line connected to an area to which is to be supplied lubricant;
- a lubricant reservoir mounted on one of the rails, the lubricant reservoir comprising a plurality of separated individual reservoirs each containing an amount of lubricant, each of the individual reservoirs being closed to the lubricant line and being adapted to communicate with the lubricant line upon application of an external force to the lubricant reservoir to introduce lubricant in the individual reservoir to the lubricant line for supply to the area to which is to be supplied lubricant.
A bearing arrangement comprising:
- a plurality of rolling bodies;
- a lubricant line connected to an area of the bearing arrangement to which is to be supplied lubricant;
- a lubricant reservoir forming a part of the bearing assembly and comprising a plurality of individual reservoirs each containing an amount of lubricant that is to be supplied to said area of the bearing arrangement to which is to be supplied the lubricant, the individual reservoirs being closed to the lubricant line and being adapted to communicate with the lubricant line upon application of an external force to the lubricant reservoir to introduce lubricant in the individual reservoir to the lubricant line for supply to the area to which is to be supplied the lubricant.
