  • Publication number: 20230243352
    Abstract: An oiling device includes a passage system that circulates and feeds oil to an oiling object. A control unit includes a storage unit that has stored therein a first abnormality pressure set value that differs according to oiling temperature; the first abnormality pressure set value is set to a lower pressure as the oiling temperature is higher. The control unit executes an abnormal stop of the oiling object when an oiling pressure detected by an oiling pressure detecting unit is equal to or lower than the first abnormality pressure set value corresponding to an oiling temperature detected by an oiling temperature detecting unit.

  • Patent number: 10352323
    Abstract: A method for forming drilled cast which includes drilling with a drill so as to provide communication with a cast hole includes a casting step and a drilling step. The casting step is to cast a cast having a cast hole which includes a flat inner wall surface in which width of a position to be drilled with the drill is obtained by adding first length H1 serving as a manufacturing error range of the cast to a diameter D of the drill, which is a second length H2. The drilling step is to form a through hole providing communication between an interior of the cast hole and an exterior of the cast through the flat inner wall surface with the drill.
