A gear assembly for use with a turbomachine comprises a sun gear, a plurality of planet gear layshafts that each support a first stage planet gear and a second stage planet gear, and a ring gear. The sun gear is configured to rotate about a longitudinal centerline of the gear assembly, and the plurality of planet gear layshafts comprise an interior passage that receives one or more lubrication supply lines.

A oil supply unit includes an axial body including an axial through hole along an axis and disposed so as to be rotatable around the axis, a pipe member disposed along the axis inside the axial through hole, a support member supporting an axial end of the pipe member, and a partitioning member partitioning a circular space between the axial body and an the pipe member to an axial direction. A first through hole and a second through hole are respectively formed to penetrate the pipe member and the axial body so that an oil supplied to an inside of the pipe member flows to a radial outside of the axial body through the circular space, and the partitioning member includes a tapered portion extending toward a radial inside and the axial direction of the axial body from the inner circumferential surface of the axial body.

Methods and systems for an electric drive axle of a vehicle are provided. An electric drive axle system includes, in one example a gear train configured to rotationally attach to an electric motor-generator, the gear train includes an output shaft having a clutch arranged thereon and configured to selectively rotationally couple a gear to the output shaft. The gear train further includes a lubrication channel extending between an output shaft and an axle shaft and including an outlet extending through the output shaft and opening into the clutch.

A transfer case includes a primary shaft, a secondary shaft radially offset from the primary shaft, and a torque transfer mechanism. The primary shaft includes a central channel and an inclined fluid channel. The torque transfer mechanism is configured to selectively transfer torque from the primary shaft to the secondary shaft, and includes a primary sprocket coupled to the primary shaft for transferring torque to the secondary shaft. The inclined fluid channel is associated with the primary sprocket, and includes an outlet that axially overlaps the primary sprocket.

A gearbox comprises a differential gear train. The differential gear train comprises a ring gear assembly, a sun gear assembly, and a planetary carrier assembly connected to a planetary gear mechanism. The planetary carrier assembly comprises side plates. The side plates combine with gears to form high-pressure volume units and low-pressure volume units, and a throttle channel is connected between two volume units. The high-pressure volume unit is constructed in a meshing zone of the gears. All high-pressure volume units are connected and communicated with each other by means of a high-pressure oil channel on the planetary carrier assembly. The gearbox can reduce the volume of the high-pressure volume unit, simplify the structure and process, and improve the transmission efficiency and reliability

A power transmission device includes: a gear; a case receiving the gear; and a baffle plate positioned between the gear and the case; the baffle plate including a guide portion arranged to guide an oil scooped up by the gear, into between the baffle plate and the case, and the guide portion being disposed above an oil level within the case, the guide portion being adjacent to an axial side surface of the gear, the guide portion being positioned in the baffle plate on an upstream side in a rotation direction of the gear, and the guide portion including a first bent portion which is positioned on a tip end side, and which is bent in a direction from the case toward the gear.

A planetary gear train speed reduction gear planetary carrier (130) assembly and an elastically deformable annular member (160), for a turbine engine, in particular for an aircraft. The planetary carrier (130) has a general annular shape about an axis X. The annular member (160) extends about the axis X, and is fixed to the planetary carrier and configured to be fixed to a stator element (162) of the turbine engine ensuring a flexible connection between the planetary carrier and the stator element. The planetary carrier carries a series of protruding teeth (180) extending substantially radially outwards with respect to the axis X. Each of these teeth has first opposite side faces (180a, 180b) extending into planes passing through the axis X capable of engaging by abutment in the circumferential direction with the stator element. A vibration absorption system is inserted between the first faces and the stator element.
