A geared motor includes a gear unit having a first intermediate shaft, an input shaft and an output shaft. The gear unit has two connection surfaces set apart from each other to which a device to be driven by the gear unit is connectable to the gear unit, each connection surface having a drilling pattern. The housing part is asymmetrical such that the plane whose normal direction is aligned in parallel with the axis of rotation of the first intermediate shaft and includes the axis of rotation of the input shaft, is no plane of symmetry in relation to the entire outer surface of the housing part and also no plane of symmetry in relation to the housing wall of the housing part. The plane is a plane of symmetry with regard to the two connection surfaces together with their drilling patterns.

Embodiments are directed to solid lubricant assemblies for providing over temperature protection for bearings and gears in rotorcraft systems. A solid lubricant enters a fluid state above a certain temperature and is positioned so that fluid lubricant is applied to the bearings or gears.

A system for determining at least one mechanical property of a mechanical power transmitter may use thermal sensor data. The system may include the mechanical power transmitter; at least one thermal sensor disposed on or in the mechanical power transmitter; and a controller configured to receive data from the at least one thermal sensor and to process the data using a model based on machine learning to determine the at least one mechanical property of the mechanical power transmitter.

A vehicle driveline component having a housing with a lube feed ramp between a bearing bore and a surface in which a first end of a lubricant channel is formed. The bearing supports a pinion for rotation about a first axis. The surface is transverse to the bearing bore. The lube feed ramp is defined by a warped planar surface that provides a transverse transformation between the bearing bore and the surface that is transverse to the bearing bore. The lube feed ramp is configured to direct a portion of a lubricant exiting the bearing into the first end of the lubrication channel.

A reduction gear includes a reduction mechanism and a component which constitutes the reduction gear and in which a cavity portion is provided. The reduction mechanism is not provided in the cavity portion. The component includes a reinforcement structure which is provided to partially fill an inside of the cavity portion and forms a void, which is filled with air or fluid, in the cavity portion. The cavity portion includes only one opening with respect to a space in which the reduction mechanism is accommodated or with respect to an external space, or the cavity portion is provided so as to form a closed space inside the component.
