Ballscrew actuators
A ballscrew actuator comprises a ballnut having at least one first helical groove formed on a radially inner surface and defining an axis (X), a ballscrew disposed along the axis (X) within the ballnut, the ballscrew having at least one second helical groove formed on a radially outer surface and opposed to the first helical groove so as to form at least one helical raceway and a plurality of balls or rolling elements disposed in the at least one helical raceway. The ballscrew is movable relative to the ballnut between a stowed position and a deployed position. The ballscrew comprises a ballscrew bore extending axially therein. A lubrication piston is mounted for sliding movement within the ballscrew bore and divides the ballscrew bore axially into a lubricant receiving portion and a pressurising portion.
Gearwheel Arrangement
A gearwheel arrangement for a transmission of a vehicle, including: a gearwheel configured to be rotatable about an axis of rotation (A), the gearwheel including a gearwheel body and an annular gear tooth section extending around the gearwheel body, the gear tooth section including a plurality of external gear teeth, wherein at least a part of the gear tooth section extends past a radially outer portion of the gearwheel body in an axial direction (A) of the gearwheel, so that at least one radially inwardly facing surface is provided opposite of the external gear teeth, means for guiding cooling fluid toward the at least one radially inwardly facing surface so as to cool the gear tooth section during rotation of the gearwheel about the axis of rotation.
Automatic transmission
An automatic transmission includes: a multi-disc brake including first and second friction engagement elements which are alternately arranged in an axial direction, and a tube that supplies lubricating oil to the first friction engagement element and the second friction engagement element in a transmission case. Further, the tube has injection holes that inject the lubricating oil toward a spline groove, which is fitted with spline teeth of the first friction engagement element on an inner peripheral surface of the transmission case, and the injection holes open toward a gap, which is formed between the spline groove and the spline teeth, and inject the lubricating oil to cause the lubricating oil to contact a surface of the spline groove located above the spline teeth.
Lubricating device of power transmitting system
A lubricating device of a power transmitting system including a power transmitting mechanism. The lubricating device includes: an oil reservoir; an oil pump; an oil catcher provided to receive a portion of the oil delivered from the oil pump; and an oil piping assembly through which the oil delivered from the oil pump flows to be delivered to each of the at least one lubricated portion. The oil piping assembly has a first oil delivery nozzle from which the oil is delivered to each lubricated portion, and a second oil delivery nozzle from which the portion of the oil delivered from the oil pump flows into the oil catcher. The second oil delivery nozzle has a length larger than that of the first oil delivery nozzle.
Passive planetary emergency lubrication system
An example of an emergency lubrication system for an aircraft includes a lubricant tank configured to supply a lubricant to a gearbox of the aircraft, a tube coupled between the lubricant tank and the gearbox and comprising a check ball disposed within the tube, a first lubricant line coupled to the tube and a first inlet of the gearbox, and a second lubricant line coupled to the tube and a second inlet of the gearbox.
OIL PUMP RECEIVING BORE LIP
A gearbox system for a rotorcraft includes a gearbox housing, an oil pump receiving bore formed into the gearbox housing and having formed therein a first opening having a first diameter and a second opening, and an oil pump positioned within the oil pump receiving bore. The second opening is bounded by a lip that extends radially into the second opening, the second opening having a second diameter that is smaller than the first diameter.
CAGE FOR A TURBOMACHINE SPEED REDUCER WITH PLANETARY GEAR SET
A planet-carrier cage is provided for a turbomachine speed reducer having a planetary gear set. The cage contains a central sun gear and an annular row of planet gears arranged around the sun gear axis and engaging both the sun gear and an internal gear that surrounds the cage. A periphery of the cage has axial receiving elements configured to receive axial fingers secured to a cage carrier of the speed reducer. Each receiving element is penetrated by a radial spindle that guides the rotation of a connection means, such as a swivel joint or a bearing, which is supported by the fingers. The spindles include means for projecting lubricating oil into regions in which the planet gears mesh with the internal gear.
Assembly comprising a lubricating wheel and lubricant nozzles for a planetary gear speed reducer of a turbomachine
An assembly comprising a lubricating wheel and lubricant nozzles for a planetary gear speed reducer of a turbomachine, the wheel having a lubricator configured to supply lubricant to the nozzles and the bearings of the planetary carriers of the reducer, the wheel being intended to be mounted coaxially on an annular wall of an axis of rotation X of a planetary carrier of the reducer, the wheel having a bearing and attachment surface on the annular wall of the planetary carrier, the lubricant nozzles being distributed around the axis and each having a generally elongated shape, the nozzles having first longitudinal ends for fluidly connecting to the lubricator of the wheel, wherein the first ends of the nozzles being configured to be attached to the wheel before mounting the wheel on the annular wall of the planetary carrier.
Power transmission system including a lubrication oil recovery device and turbomachine provided with such a power transmission system
The invention concerns a power transmission system of a turbomachine, comprising: a speed reducer (12) comprising a sun gear (15) rotationally secured to a power shaft (5) with a longitudinal axis, an outer ring gear (18) rotating a rotor shaft along the longitudinal axis, and a planet carrier (17), and a device (40) for recovering oil ejected by centrifugal effect and comprising an annular gutter (41) for recovering the ejected oil, the gutter being attached to a fixed annular housing (26) and having a recovery chamber (42) and a first wall portion (43) disposed at least partially facing oil ejection means (30) of the speed reducer for directing the oil to the recovery chamber. According to the invention, the recovery chamber is provided with an inlet opening (45) directed radially outwardly and defined in a plane radially lower than a plane where an outlet port (33) of the ejection means is defined.
Deflector for the fairing of a turbomachine pinion, associated gear box and turbomachine
A deflector for the fairing of a pinion, which includes a teething, a barrel and a wall positioned between the teething and the barrel, the deflector extending around an axis and including an envelope of which the shape and the dimensions are suited to surrounding at least one part of the teething of the pinion, the deflector including an oil injection circuit including a first portion provided on an outer surface of the envelope, a first injection hole provided in the envelope and communicating with the first portion of the oil injection circuit, the first injection hole emerging on an inner surface of the envelope so as to inject oil in the direction of the pinion, a second portion communicating with the first portion, the second portion including a second injection hole intended to be facing the inside of the barrel of the pinion.
