At least one rotating transmission component (5a) is arranged in the interior space (4) of the transmission housing (3). At least one compensating tank (7) is configured for collecting oil from the interior space (4). The compensating tank (7) is fluidically connected to the oil sump (6) via at least one return (8). The particular return (8) delivers a predefined flow back into the oil sump (6) as a function of a power throughput of the transmission (1).

According to the present disclosure, an in-wheel driving apparatus includes a first planetary gear reducer, into which oil is introduced, and a flow passage is formed in an interior of the first planetary gear reducer such that the oil introduced into the first planetary gear reducer flows in an introduction direction, and flows in a direction that is opposite to the introduction direction thereafter.

A strain wave gear system (10) includes first and second sets of ball bearings (80, 82) located intermediate a flange (84) and a retainer plate (88) rotatable with an output (54) and a radially oriented flat disc (74) of the input including strain relief (76). Strain relief (76) is a helical slot in a coupling (70) located radially within the wave generator (94) and the ring gear (22). The ring gear (22) is sealed by a sealing system including sealant (42) forced by a protrusion (34) of the cap (24) entering into a cavity (36) through a channel (40) into a relief volume (38) of the housing (12). The bearing (48) rotatably mounting the housing (12) to the output (54) is lubricated by a lubricating system including plungers (110) threadably received in axial bores (102) intersecting with radial bores (104) in communication with radial holes (47) of the bearing (48).

A gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a fan section including a turbo fan supported on a turbo fan shaft, a turbine section including a turbine shaft, and an epicyclic gear train interconnecting the turbo fan shaft and the turbine shaft. The epicyclic gear train includes a sun gear coupled to the turbine shaft, intermediary gears arranged circumferentially about and meshing with the sun gear, a carrier supporting the intermediary gears, and a ring gear including first and second portions each having an inner periphery with teeth, the first and second portions arranged about and intermeshing with the intermediate gears, the first and second portions abutting one another at a radial interface, the first and second portions including respective flanges extending along the radial interface radially outward from the teeth, and the teeth of the first and second portions being oppositely angled teeth.

A gear assembly of an aircraft including an engine is generally provided. The gear assembly includes a first gear meshed with a second gear to define a gear mesh, and a walled lubricant tank defining a lubricant reservoir and a reservoir inlet opening. The reservoir inlet opening is defined adjacent to an out-of-mesh side of the gear mesh. At least a portion of lubricant from the gear mesh enters the lubricant reservoir through the reservoir inlet opening.

A method of assembling an epicyclic gear train includes positioning a carrier, the carrier being a unitary structure with side walls and mounts unitary with one another, inserting intermediate gears through a central opening of the carrier, moving each of the intermediate gears into intermediate gear pockets, inserting baffles into the carrier, inserting a sun gear through the central opening, and moving the intermediate gears to intermesh with the sun gear, and moving a ring gear into engagement with the intermediate gears.

A lubrication mechanism for a vehicle drive-force transmitting apparatus including; first and second gears meshing with each other in a meshing region; and a casing storing therein the first and second gears. The lubrication mechanism includes a gutter that extends from an inner wall surface such that oil is received in the gutter and is then dropped from an end of the gutter. The gutter includes a flow-direction changing rib with which the received oil is to be collided whereby a flow direction of the received oil is changed to a direction toward the end of the gutter. The end of the gutter is located on upper side of the meshing region, between first and second vertical planes containing respective first and second axes about which the first and second gears to be rotated, and is located between opposite ends of the meshing region.

An axle assembly for a working machine is provided. The axle assembly has an axle housing comprising a central portion housing a gear, wherein the gear is configured to rotate about an axis and is configured to be partially disposed in a lubricant reservoir, and at least one arm portion extending from the central portion, with the arm portion housing at least one driveshaft. The axle assembly further includes a conduit assembly configured to direct lubricant from the central portion to the arm portion, with the conduit assembly including a lubricant catcher having an inlet disposed in an interior volume of the central portion.

An electric drive module (EDM) configured to generate and transfer drive torque to a driveline for propulsion of an electric vehicle. The EDM includes a gearbox assembly, an electric motor having a rotor and a stator, and a thermal management system. The thermal management system includes a fluid circuit configured to supply a fluid to the gearbox assembly, the rotor, and the stator, and a pump configured to direct the fluid through the fluid circuit. A valve is disposed on the fluid circuit and configured to selectively move between (i) a closed position where the fluid is not supplied to the stator, and (ii) an open position where the fluid is supplied to the stator for cooling thereof.

A hybrid transmission includes an electric transmission including a motor generator, and a gear transmission including a gear driver without a motor generator. A transmission case includes an electric transmission chamber in which the electric transmission is accommodated, and a gear transmission chamber in which the gear transmission is accommodated, the electric transmission chamber and the gear transmission chamber being adjacent to each other. The transmission case includes a partition wall separating the electric transmission chamber from the gear transmission chamber in a non-communication manner.
