Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A bearing lubricating housing ( 100 ) comprising a lubricating housing body ( 110 ). The bearing housing ( 100 ) is designed to retain a rolling element bearing assembly ( 200 ) while providing axial motion when the housing ( 100 ) is assembled within an interior of a guiding tube ( 310 ). The bearing housing ( 100 ) includes a series of channels ( 118 ) and/or passageways ( 114, 116 ) forming a lubrication matrix for collecting a lubricant from an interior surface ( 312 ) of the guiding tube ( 310 ) to the rolling element bearing assembly ( 200 ).
