  • Publication number: 20140311268
    Abstract: An oiling device for an axle with spur gearing comprising a first rotating component which is surrounded by a housing and immersed in a lubricant. A first shaft is mounted to rotate by way of first and second bearings and is continuously connected to a third rotating component and a second rotating component that engages the first rotating component and is arranged above the surface of the lubricant. A fourth rotating component is continuously connected to a second shaft that is spaced from the first shaft. The lubricant is at least partially dispersed in the housing by rotation of the first rotating component. The second shaft and the first rotating component are arranged within the same housing and the lubricant that is dispersed by the first rotating component can be caught and selectively dispersed by at least one collecting channel.
