3.4.1 Splash lubrication
Unless otherwise agreed by contract, the gearing and rolling-contact bearings are supplied
with an adequate quantity of oil by splash lubrication.
3.4.2 Pressure lubrication
At high input speeds or high gear circumferential velocities, depending on the particular
contract, splash lubrication can be supplemented or replaced by pressure lubrication.
With pressure lubrication, the rolling-contact bearings and gears located above the oil level
are adequately supplied with oil through pipes.
