An epicyclic gear train is coupled to drive the fan, the epicyclic gear train including a carrier supporting intermediate gears that mesh with a sun gear, and a ring gear surrounding and meshing with the intermediate gears, wherein the epicyclic gear train defines a gear reduction ratio of greater than or equal to 2.3. A turbine section is coupled to drive the fan through the epicyclic gear train, the turbine section having a fan drive turbine that includes a pressure ratio that is greater than 5. The fan includes a pressure ratio that is less than 1.45, and the fan has a bypass ratio of greater than ten (10).

A planetary gearbox device, a gas turbine engine with a planetary gearbox device, and a method for producing a scoop pump. The planetary gearbox device includes an oil supply appliance, wherein the oil supply appliance has a ring-shaped scoop pump that is connected to the rotatable shaft of the planetary gearbox device and an oil supply fixedly arranged at the housing and by which oil is supplied to the scoop pump. The scoop pump has multiple blades that extend in a circumferentially arranged manner and extend from a radially outer area in the direction of a radially inner area. The blades delimit grooves extending in the circumferential direction in the radial direction and respectively form a groove base of the grooves. The oil is conducted from the oil supply to outlets via which oil is conducted out of the scoop pump in the radial direction outwards.

An epicyclic gear train for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a gutter having an annular channel, a sun gear rotatable about an axis, intermediary gears arranged circumferentially about and meshing with the sun gear, a carrier supporting the intermediary gears, and a ring gear arranged about and intermeshing with the intermediary gears, the ring gear having an aperture axially aligned with the annular channel. The ring gear includes axially spaced apart walls that extend radially outward to define a passageway, and the passageway is arranged radially between the aperture and the annular channel such that the walls inhibit an axial flow of an oil passing from the aperture toward the annular channel.

A gas turbine engine includes a bypass ratio greater than about ten (10). A fan is supported on a fan shaft and has a plurality of fan blades. A gear system is connected to the fan shaft and a plurality of planetary gears. A first set of opposed angled ring gear teeth are separated from a second set of opposed angled ring gear teeth. A lubricant flow path is located axially between the first set of opposed angled ring gear teeth and the second set of opposed angled ring gear teeth. An annular channel axially is aligned with the lubricant flow path. A low pressure turbine has an inlet, an outlet, and a low pressure turbine pressure ratio greater than 5:1. A low fan pressure ratio is less than 1.45 across the fan blade alone.

A seal assembly for a bearing compartment of a gas turbine engine includes a seal carrier, a seal element, a seal plate, and a trough. At least a portion of the seal element is within the seal carrier. The seal plate is in contact with the seal element and is configured to rotate relative to the seal element. The trough extends around the seal plate and comprises an annular channel positioned to capture oil slung from the seal plate.

A slider seal assembly for a gas turbine engine, comprising a housing comprising an outer surface and an inner surface, and a recessed opening between the inner surface and the outer surface, wherein the inner surface of the housing includes a flat portion configured to match a receiver on an inner wall of a casing of the gas turbine engine; a seal plate received within the recessed opening and moveable relative to the housing; and a retaining ring configured to retain the seal plate adjacent the housing, the retaining ring includes a plurality of tabs configured to retain the seal plate adjacent the housing.

A turbocharger includes a variable-nozzle cartridge having a nozzle ring that supports an array of variable vanes in the turbine nozzle. A heat shroud and spring assembly is disposed in a space bounded between the turbine wheel, the nozzle ring, and the center bearing housing of the turbocharger. The heat shroud and spring assembly includes discretely formed heat shroud and spring components configured as annular non-planar disk-shaped parts. The heat shroud and spring are in contact with each other at their radially inner and radially outer peripheral regions, but are spaced apart between those peripheral regions, thereby creating a sealed-off dead space between them. The dead space can significantly reduce the maximum temperature of the spring, relative to arrangements having a single shroud or having dual shrouds with no dead space between them.

The present invention provides a spring washer for a turbocharger including a stopper part formed at an inner periphery there and a line contact part formed at an outer periphery thereof, thus to prevent a spring repulsive force from being exerted thereto more than necessary even when exerting excessive compression and continuous compression force from peripheral parts, and prevent an inclination bent section from being flattened, thereby maintaining or improving restoring characteristics of the inclination bent section. The ring-shaped spring washer installed in a bypass valve of a turbocharger includes: an inner periphery having a stopper part fixed to a lower surface thereof with being overlapped therewith; an inclination bent section integrally formed with the inner periphery with being inclined downward; and an outer periphery having a line contact part integrally formed with the inclination bent section to be in line contact with a support of the spring washer.

A lubricant scoop is disclosed. The lubricant scoop includes an annular body configured for engagement with a shaft rotating about a central axis. The annular body includes a first annular portion and a second annular portion disposed adjacent the first annular portion. The first annular portion includes a radially oriented entrance surface and a first axially oriented transition surface. The second annular portion includes a second axially oriented transition surface, a primary redirection member spaced radially outward from the second axially oriented transition surface, a radially oriented exit surface and an exit conduit having an opening positioned on the radially oriented exit surface.

A seal assembly for a bearing compartment of a gas turbine engine includes a seal carrier, a seal element, a seal plate, and a trough. At least a portion of the seal element is within the seal carrier. The seal plate is in contact with the seal element and is configured to rotate relative to the seal element. The trough extends around the seal plate and comprises an annular channel positioned to capture oil slung from the seal plate.
