Abstract:
Lubrication System for Shielded Cable was developed as a method to penetrate and lubricate cables of various sizes at any point on the cable. The system was developed using a split block that straddles the cable, and is held together with fasteners. On one side of the block, there is a small hole centrally located. A hole is to be drilled through that small hole to penetrate one side of the shielded cable to allow passage of the lubricant. Over the small hole and toward the outside surface of the part, a grease or oil fitting is mounted to allow the lubricant to be forced into the cable. Lubrication of shielded cables, as described here, has not been previously accomplished without this system.
