Patent ID: 8387754

Claim:
A method of oiling axial stops ( 10 ) on components ( 6 , 17 , 18 ) fixed on a shaft ( 1 ), provided for loose wheels ( 2 , 3 ) which are arranged on the shaft ( 1 ), the method comprising the steps of: forming an axially extending oil duct ( 5 ) within the shaft ( 1 ) and providing at least one radial bore ( 15 ); providing a plurality of grooves ( 11 , 12 ) comprising both a set of radially extending through-going grooves ( 11 ), which each extend from a radially inner edge of a radially extending surface of the axial stop ( 10 ) to a radially outer edge of the radially extending surface, and a set of radially extending non-through going grooves ( 12 ), which each extend from the radially inner edge of the radially extending surface of the axial stop ( 10 ) toward, but terminate prior to reaching, the radially outer edge of the radially extending surface; supplying oil to each axial stop ( 10 ) through the oil duct ( 5 ) within the shaft ( 1 ) and into both the through-going grooves ( 11 ) and the non-through going grooves ( 12 ) so that the grooves on each axial stop ( 10 ) are in fluid flow connection with the oil duct ( 5 ).
