SP-36 OIL COVER INGCO (RH150028) D-61
🧰 What It Is
The Oil Cover is a protective cap or enclosure designed to seal and protect the lubricant (usually grease) inside a specific section of the rotary hammer’s internal mechanism. In rotary hammers like the RH150028, internal gears and moving parts require lubrication to reduce friction and wear. The oil cover helps contain that lubricant and keep contaminants out.
“Oil cover” in this context usually refers to a cover plate, cap, or seal that closes off an access opening or grease chamber so the lubricant cannot leak out during operation.
⚙️ Technical Function
The SP‑36 Oil Cover serves several important purposes:
- Keeps grease or oil inside the gearbox, bearing area, or impact chamber, preventing loss of lubricant during hammering and high‑speed rotation.
- Ensures that moving parts stay properly lubricated over long use.
- Seals the mechanism against dust, debris, water, and fine concrete dust that could enter and accelerate wear.
- Helps maintain the cleanliness of internal bearings and gears.
- Forms part of the enclosure or housing in the gearbox or internal cavity.
- Provides a firm mounting surface or interface that mates with surrounding components.
- Prevents grease from being flung out under high‑speed rotation and vibration.
- May include a simple lip, flange, or recessed groove to seat lubricant.
- The D‑61 reference identifies the exact location of this cover in the exploded diagram.
- It fits over or around the internal gear/shaft area that requires lubrication, such as the gearbox chamber, bearing seat, or intermediate gear cavity.
- It mates with the gearcase or housing and is held in place by bolts, clips, or adjoining parts.
Because rotary hammers operate under impact, vibration, and dust exposure, a well‑fitted oil cover is essential to keep lubricant where it’s needed.
