  • Internal Combustion Engine Shaft Mounting Device with Calibrated Lubrication Supply Passage
    Publication number: 20070283912
    Abstract: A shaft mounting device for an internal combustion engine includes a bearing body having a mounting base for engaging an engine structure, and a semi-circular bore which is serviced by a lubricant distribution channel. An integral flow regulator, which is formed in place as a partial hydraulic obstruction, is located within the lubricant distribution channel. Because the flow restriction is integral, a separately machined flow restrictor is eliminated.
