A lubricating system is adapted to supply lubricating oil to a lip portion of an oil-seal member for preventing the lubricating oil from leaking out of a case. The lubricating system includes a rotating member, a bearing, a scraping member, and a guiding section. The rotating member is configured and arranged to be rotatably housed within the case and to slidably engage the lip portion of the oil-seal member. The bearing rotatably supports the rotating member. The scraping member is configured and arranged to scrape the lubricating oil discharged from the bearing. The guiding section is configured and arranged to guide the lubricating oil scraped by the scraping member to the lip portion of the oil-seal member.

Lubricating system and lubricating method

A rotating member fixing structure includes a shaft member and a rotating member. The rotating member has an axial bore section press-fitted to the shaft member. One of the shaft member and the axial bore section of the rotating member includes a margin adjusting part dimensioned to reduce a press-fitting margin between the shaft member and the axial bore section of the rotating member from an initial press-fitting margin to an effective press-fitting margin that is less than or equal to a prescribed value when the rotating member is press-fitted to the shaft member.
