Patent ID: 7878305

Claim:
An oil-bearing shaft for supplying a lubrication fluid for at least one component of a transmission, the shaft comprising at least one longitudinally extending bore hole and at least one oil supply bore hole extending to an outer diameter of the shaft, and each of the at least one longitudinally extending bore hole and the at least one oil supply bore hole being fluid-mechanically connected for supplying lubrication fluid from said outer diameter of the shaft radially inward to the at least one longitudinal bore hole during rotation of the shaft, wherein each of the at least one oil supply bore hole ( 2 ), imputted with lubrication fluid, is inclined in a direction of rotation by a setting angle (β) with respect to a vertical of a central longitudinal axis of the shaft, a central longitudinal axis of the at least one oil supply bore hole ( 2 ) is spaced from and does not intersect with the central longitudinal axis of the shaft and an intersection of the at least one oil supply bore hole ( 2 ) with the outer diameter of the shaft leads an intersection of the oil supply bore hole ( 2 ) with the longitudinally extending bore hole in the direction of rotation of the shaft.
