A baffle for a gear may comprise a baffle wall and a baffle outlet, the baffle wall having a peripheral portion at least partially defining a channel, the channel extending circumferentially around an axial centerline, the channel configured to receive lubricant through a slot, the slot extending circumferentially around the axial centerline. The baffle wall may be configured to prevent a subset of gear teeth from receiving lubricant. A width of the slot may vary along a circumferential direction. A cross-section area of the channel may vary along the circumferential direction. The cross-section area of the channel may increase along a direction of rotation of the subset of gear teeth.

A geared architecture includes a carrier that has spaced apart walls with circumferentially spaced mounts that interconnect the walls. The mounts provide circumferentially spaced apart apertures between the mounts at an outer circumference of the carrier. A sun gear and intermediate gears are arranged about and intermesh with the sun gear. The intermediate gears are supported by the carrier. The intermediate gears extend through the apertures to intermesh with a ring gear. A baffle is supported relative to the carrier and includes a lubrication passage near at least one of the sun gear and intermediate gears for directing a lubricant on the at least one of the sun gear and intermediate gears. The lubrication passage includes a primary passage that extends laterally between the walls and first and second passages and is in communication with the primary passage and respectively terminates near the sun gear and intermediate gears.

A lubrication system for a gearbox assembly for a turbine engine. The gearbox assembly includes a gear assembly including one or more gears and one or more bearings. The lubrication system includes a sump. The sump is a primary reservoir that has a first lubricant level. The lubrication system also includes a secondary reservoir in the gearbox assembly. The secondary reservoir has a second lubricant level that is greater than the first lubricant level. A plurality of drain ports includes a first drain port and a second drain port. The lubrication system fills the secondary reservoir with lubricant between the first lubricant level and the second lubricant level and a portion of the lubricant drains though the second drain port. The one or more gears collects the lubricant to supply the lubricant from the secondary reservoir to the one or more gears or to the one or more bearings.

A linear drive assembly configured for use within a power end assembly. The linear drive assembly is configured to interconnect a crankshaft and a pony rod and comprises a crosshead assembly attached to a connecting rod assembly. In one or more embodiments disclosed herein, the connecting rod assembly is configured to attach to opposite sides of the crosshead assembly so that no portion of the connecting rod assembly is disposed within an interior of a crosshead included in the crosshead assembly.

A transmission for a power train of a motor vehicle has a first stationary housing part having a first axial contact surface, a second stationary housing part, and a first sealing element on the second stationary housing part, the first sealing element being axially compressible. Additionally, the transmission includes a first planetary gear set including a planet carrier, at least one planet gear, a sun gear, and a ring gear. The planet carrier is fixed relative to one or both of the first stationary housing part and the second stationary housing part. One side of the planet carrier rests against the first axial contact surface, where the first sealing element acts on another side of the planet carrier to axially preload the planet carrier against the first axial contact surface to prevent the planet carrier from tilting relative to a rotation axis of the first planetary gear set.

A unit includes a housing configured to accommodate a planetary gear mechanism, wherein the housing includes a flow path through which a coolant flows, the planetary gear mechanism includes a stepped pinion gear, the stepped pinion gear includes a small pinion and a large pinion, and the flow path has a portion that overlaps the large pinion when viewed in a radial direction.

Embodiments are directed to a front end accessory drive (FEAD) and power modulating devices (PMD) which can be used in a FEAD. In one embodiment, a continuously variable transmission (CVT) is coupled directly to a crankshaft of a prime mover, and the CVT is used to regulate the speed and/or torque delivered to an accessory. A compound drive device includes a motor/generator subassembly cooperating with a CVT subassembly to provide a motor functionality with torque multiplication or division, or alternatively, a generator functionality with torque multiplication or division. In some embodiments, a FEAD includes a PMD having a sun shaft configured to couple to a sun of the PMD and to an electric motor component, such as an electrical armature or an electrical field. In one embodiment, the electrical armature the electrical field are placed concentrically and coaxially and configured to rotate relative to one another in opposite directions.

An axle assembly having a housing assembly that may have at least one lubricant passage. The lubricant passage may provide lubricant to an interaxle differential unit via a roller bearing assembly and at least one flange lubricant hole that may be provided in a flange portion of an input shaft.

A turbine engine includes a housing supporting compressor and turbine sections. An epicyclic gear train includes a carrier, a sun gear and intermediate gears arranged about and intermeshing with the sun gear. The intermediate gears are supported by the carrier. A baffle is supported relative to the carrier and includes a lubrication passage near at least one of the sun gear and intermediate gears for directing a lubricant on at least one of the sun gear and the intermediate gears. A spray bar is external to the carrier and is in communication with the lubrication passage. The spray bar terminates near the sun gear for directing lubricant on the sun gear.
