199. How is lubrication provided to the device shown in the illustration

The lube oil enters through the supply pipes shown as #11 and eventually drains to the main engine sump.
Only silicate ester based synthetic oils have the capability and necessary characteristics to be used in this type of application.
A separate system containing oil under extremely high-pressure is used due to its ability to provide a high film strength.
The lubrication system closely resembles the system used with standard line shaft bearings.
