Greasing "open" gearboxes
So my team and I are working on a drive gearbox and it has pocketed face plates much like the WCP style (image below). What we were wondering is how to keep grease from flying off of the gears. We use white lithium and when the gears get to speed they will throw all of the grease off. This could be solved by not doing pockets all the way through (leaving a 1/16in) when milling the plates but I was wondering what other teams did to solve this issue that had WCP type gearboxes.
