The oil slinger, part number AM21168, is a component utilized within the Lufkin RS1818H marine transmission. It is specifically configured for installation on a stainless steel shaft to assist in the internal circulation of lubricating oil within the gearbox assembly. As the shaft rotates, the slinger directs oil toward the gears, bearings, and other internal surfaces that require consistent lubrication to function correctly.
This component is compatible with the Lufkin RS1818H marine transmission model. It is designed to operate in conjunction with stainless steel shafting, ensuring that the lubrication system remains effective even in environments where corrosion resistance is a consideration.
In general mechanical applications, an oil slinger serves to manage the movement of lubricant within a closed housing. By utilizing the rotational energy of the shaft, the slinger creates a splash or spray effect that distributes oil to areas that may not be directly submerged in the oil sump. This process helps maintain a film of lubricant on moving parts, which assists in managing friction and heat dissipation throughout the transmission system.
