SPEED REDUCER OF A TURBOMACHINE
A speed reducer, particularly of an aircraft, includes a central sun gear mounted to rotate with a drive shaft about a rotation axis X, an annular ring gear coaxial with the X axis, and a plurality of planet gears arranged about the X axis and mounted to be movable on a planet carrier. The planet gears engages the sun gear and the annular ring gear, which extends around the planet gears. The speed reducer further includes a lubricant recovery device having a pipe for recovering lubricant discharged from the reducer by centrifuging. The recovery device has scoops mounted to pivot about a pivot axis P on a movable member of the speed reducer that rotates about the X axis between a deployed state and a rest state.
Staged impeller for the oil supply of an epicyclic or planetary reduction gear
An oil supply device intended to supply oil to an epicyclic reduction gear, the oil coming from at least one oil injector fixed with respect to the reduction gear, the oil supply device including at least one cup which is integral with a planet carrier of the reduction gear and substantially annular open radially with respect to an axis of the reduction gear and the walls of which delimit a cavity supplied by the at least one oil injector and which supplies at least one of the oil distribution circuits of the reduction gear. The oil supply device is staged and includes at least two independent stages provided with cups coaxial, of different diameters, each supplying an associated oil circuit and configured to receive the oil axially, centripetally, or tangentially, or according to an inclined direction combining two of the directions.
WIND TURBINE GEARBOX CARRIER WITH INTEGRATED PIN SHAFTS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAME
A gear system includes a carrier having a first portion and a separate, second portion and a plurality of pin shafts extending from the first portion of the carrier. Each of the plurality of pin shafts includes a first end and a second end. As such, the first ends are integrally formed with the first portion of the carrier. The first and second portions are arranged on opposing sides of the plurality of pin shafts and are spaced apart such that the first and second portions do not contact each other. Further, the second portion of the carrier defines an end plate that is secured to the second ends of the plurality of pin shafts. The gear system also includes a plurality of gears mounted to the plurality of pin shafts, with each of the plurality of gears arranged so as to rotate around one of the plurality of pin shafts.
Auxiliary oil system for geared gas turbine engine
A gas turbine engine comprises a fan drive turbine, a fan rotor, and a gear reduction driven by the fan drive turbine to, in turn, drive the gear architecture. A main oil supply system supplies oil to components within the gear reduction, and an auxiliary oil supply system. The auxiliary oil system operates to ensure that the gear reduction will be adequately supplied with lubricant for at least 30 seconds at power should the main oil supply system fail.
DIFFERENTIAL DEVICE
A differential device is provided with: a ring gear having a tooth row arranged around an axis to mesh with an input gear; an outer case combined with the ring gear and rotatable about the axis; an inner case rotatable about the axis relative to the outer case and having a toothed end with axially projecting dog teeth; a differential gear set supported by the inner case and to be coupled with a pair of axles to allow differential motion between the axles; a clutch member engaging with the outer case and disconnectably connecting with the dog teeth so as to prevent the inner case from rotating relative to the outer case; and perforations penetrating the outer case and opened on an outer face of the outer case, the perforations being so disposed as to expose the dog teeth radially outwardly from the outer case.
GEAR WHEEL AND A VEHICLE TRANSMISSION ARRANGEMENT
A gear wheel is connectable to a transmission shaft of a vehicle gear transmission arranged in a gearbox housing. The gear wheel being configured to be lubricated by a lubricant in a lubricant reservoir of the gearbox housing, wherein the gear wheel comprises a first axial end surface; a second axial end surface arranged on an opposite side of the gear wheel relative to the first axial end surface; and a plurality of gear teeth arranged circumferentially on the gear wheel and positioned between the first and second axial end surfaces; wherein the first axial end surface comprises a plurality of angularly spaced protrusions extending axially from the first axial end surface in a direction of a surface normal of the first axial end surface.
PLANETARY GEAR SYSTEM
The invention relates to a planetary gear system (1) with a planetary carrier (2) and a plurality of planetary gearwheels (3) which are mounted on the planetary carrier (2) by way of planetary gear bolts (5) and planetary bearings (4), wherein each planetary gear bolt (5) has at least one bore (6, 7, 11) for supplying the planetary bearings (4) with lubricating oil, wherein the at least one bore (6, 7, 11) is associated with an oil-catching element (8b) of a component (8) fixed onto the planetary carrier (2), and the component (8) is in addition designed to be a pulse generator (8a) for a rotational speed sensor (20). The pulse generator (8a) comprises a plurality of raised areas which are arranged around the circumference of the component (8) and which extend in the axial direction.
Lubricating and cooling core for a mechanical reduction gear of an aircraft turbine engine
A lubricating and cooling core for a mechanical reduction gear of a turbine engine, for example of an aircraft, is configured to be mounted in an axis of a planet gear of the reduction gear. The core includes first and second coaxial and substantially frusto-conical shields, each having a first end with a greater diameter and a second opposite end with a smaller diameter, the shields being secured to one another by their second ends and being configured to extend inside the axis and to cover at least a radially internal surface of the axis to define with the latter at least one annular cavity for the circulation of oil for lubricating and cooling the axis, the second ends of the first and second shields having fluid connection means configured to connect the at least one cavity to a source of lubricating and cooling oil.
OIL COLLECTOR FOR A TORQUE TRANSMISSION DEVICE OF AN AIRCRAFT TURBINE ENGINE
An oil collector for a torque transmission device of an aircraft turbine engine, this oil collector being configured to collect sprayed oil, wherein it includes at least one wall formed at least in part by a mesh structure, and at least one recovery device located at one end of the wall and configured to recover the oil captured by the wall and intended to flow from this wall to the recovery device.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
An automatic transmission includes a starting clutch which connects and disconnects motive power between an engine and a transmission mechanism.
