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.

An impeller (230) for a planet carrier of a planetary gear speed reducer of a turbomachine, is configured intended to be rotatably secured to the planet carrier and to be rotated about an axis A of the speed reducer. The impeller has an annular shape about the axis and includes lubrication means (43, 45, 238), in particular for lubricating bearings of planet gears of the speed reducer. The lubrication means include an annular cavity (238) situated at the inner periphery of the impeller. The impeller includes an inner peripheral wall (246) closing the cavity (238) in the radial direction, and the impeller includes an annular port (248) that extends around the axis and that opens in the axial direction into the cavity in order to supply it with lubricating oil.

A vehicular power transmitting system including a power transmitting member, an oil pump, and an oil piping assembly, and the oil piping assembly includes an oil piping body having an oil inlet and fixed, and a branch pipe. The branch pipe has a width direction parallel to a longitudinal direction of the oil piping body, and includes proximal and distal end portions. The proximal end portion is connected to the oil piping body, and the distal end portion has a delivery nozzle from which the oil is delivered toward the lubricated portion. The branch pipe has an opening formed in the proximal end portion, for communication of the branch pipe with the oil piping body, the opening having a dimension in a width direction of the branch pipe, which dimension is larger than a dimension of the distal end portion in the width direction of the branch pipe.

A cooling system for a power transmission unit that can supply oil properly to a differential mechanism and motors. The cooling system comprises: a first branch passage to supply the oil to the differential mechanism; a second branch passage to supply the oil to the first motor; and a third branch passage to supply the oil to the second motor. The second branch passage includes a first oil feeding section that supplies the oil to a coil of the first motor, and a second oil feeding section that supplies the oil f to a core of the first motor. The third branch passage includes a third oil feeding section that supplies the oil to a coil of the second motor, and a fourth oil feeding section that supplies the oil to a core of the second motor.

Provided is a toroidal continuously variable transmission that can create a jet of oil resistant to the influence of wind generated by rotation of a power roller, thereby feeding a sufficient amount of oil to the power roller to cool the power roller with the oil; and a drive mechanism-integrated electricity generation apparatus for an aircraft, the electricity generation apparatus including the toroidal continuously variable transmission. The toroidal continuously variable transmission includes a discharge structure including an outlet that discharges an oil. The discharge structure includes first and second oil passages connected with each other inside the discharge structure, and arranged such that the oil flowing through the first oil passage and the second oil passage collide with each other in the vicinity of the outlet and that a jet of oil discharged from the outlet forms a flattened shape extending along a rotational direction of the power roller.

A drive axle assembly includes a motor; a first shaft and a second shaft. A right planet row mechanism is disposed on the first shaft, and a left planet row mechanism is disposed on the second shaft. A right sun gear of the right planet row mechanism is connected with the first shaft. A left sun gear of the left planet row mechanism is connected with the second shaft. The right sun gear has a right central oil passage and a right radial oil passage. The right central oil passage is in communication with the first shaft. The left sun gear has a left central oil passage and a left radial oil passage. The left central oil passage is in communication with the second shaft. The first shaft is in communication with the second shaft to supply oil to the second shaft.

In some examples, an aircraft gearbox comprises a plurality of gears and a hybrid lubrication system to lubricate the plurality of gears. The plurality of gears comprises a first gear and a second gear. The plurality of gears operable to rotate based on torque received from a driveshaft. The hybrid lubrication system comprises a pressurized lubrication system and a non-pressurized lubrication system. The pressurized lubrication system comprises a nozzle to spray a lubricant onto the first gear. The non-pressurized lubrication system comprises a reservoir to catch a portion of the lubricant from the pressurized lubrication system. The second gear is operable to disperse the lubricant across others of the plurality of gears based on the second gear rotating through the portion of the lubricant. The non-pressurized lubrication system further comprises a shroud configured to confine the portion of the lubricant within the non-pressurized lubrication system and to return overspray of the lubricant sprayed onto the first gear and lubricant dispersed by the second gear to the reservoir.

A gear box includes a casing having an interior. A rotating component is arranged in the interior of the casing. A bearing including a rotating element, and a fixed element is connected with the casing in the interior. A submersible pump is arranged in the interior of the casing. The submersible pump includes a first housing portion extending about the rotating component fixedly mounted to the casing at the interior. A second housing portion is fixedly mounted to the casing at the interior and is aligned with the first housing portion. The first and second housing portions form a lubricant reservoir which holds lubricant. An impeller is mounted to the rotating component and arranged in the lubricant reservoir. One of the first and second housing portions includes an outlet through which the pumped lubricant is directed toward the rotating element.
