An engine includes a gear speed change mechanism having a plurality of gear pairs for changing the speed of a rotational force of a crankshaft. A gear shifting device includes at least a plate-shaped shift arm rocking about a shift spindle to perform a gear pair changing operation on the gear speed change mechanism. A crankcase houses the gear speed change mechanism and the gear shifting device with an oil pan attached to a lower portion of the crankcase. A communicating hole communicating with the oil pan is formed in a bottom portion of the crankcase with the bottom portion being located below the shift arm, and a rocking range of the shift arm partly overlaps the communicating hole.

A vehicle transmission having a valve body disposed adjacently to and in parallel with a side cover covering a front or rear side or a side surface of a transmission case in a vehicle width direction in a vehicle-mounted state, the side cover connected to the transmission case, in which an electromagnetic valve is included on the side cover side of the valve body, when viewed in a direction horizontal and parallel to mating surfaces of the transmission case and the side cover, a strainer for removing a foreign material in a hydraulic oil is disposed between the side cover and the valve body to overlap with at least a portion of the electromagnetic valve, and the strainer has an inflow portion for allowing the hydraulic oil to flow in disposed vertically above an oil surface.

A Lubrication system for an engine component of a gas turbine engine, such as a planetary gearbox. The system comprises a main lubrication system comprising a main tank configured to supply lubricant to the engine component, and a main reservoir configured to collect lubricant scavenged from the engine component after lubrication; and an auxiliary lubrication system comprising an auxiliary reservoir configured to collect lubricant scavenged from the engine component after lubrication and to supply scavenged lubricant to the engine component. Main reservoir comprises an interior and the auxiliary reservoir is located within the interior of the main reservoir. The auxiliary reservoir comprises an upper portion, a lower portion and a lubricant pickup region, the upper portion comprising an opening arranged to permit lubricant to overflow into the main reservoir, and the lower portion of the auxiliary reservoir being shaped to cause lubricant to drain towards the lubricant pickup region.

A gearbox casing is provided in which a bottom part or a side part of the gearbox casing has a number of first coolant tanks. The gearbox casing above a bottom part of the first coolant tanks is provided therein with a lubricating liquid, and the first coolant tanks are used to cool the lubricating liquid. A first coolant tank is provided therein with a number of parallel partition walls, by which the first coolant tank is separated into at least two communicated sub-tanks that are provided with first fixed guide ribs and first suspended guide ribs to divide the coolant.

A transmission (G) for a motor vehicle includes a pump (P), an oil sump (S), a hydraulic control unit (HCU), a gear set (RS) for providing different transmission ratios between an input shaft (GW1) and an output shaft (GW2) of the transmission (G), and a cavity (HY) arranged on an input side, in which a torque converter (TC) and/or an electric machine (EM) are accommodated. The cavity (HY) is connected to the oil sump (S) via a gap (C) configured for a passive return of oil out of the cavity (HY) into the oil sump (S). In order to reduce the gap (C), a separating element (T) is configured for making it difficult for oil to flow out of the oil sump (S) to the cavity (HY). A drive train comprising such a transmission (G) is also provided.

A transmission (1) for a motor vehicle (2) includes a transmission housing (3) with an interior space (4) and an oil sump (6). 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).

A vehicle transmission includes a transmission housing defining an oil sump space and a hybrid space, with the hybrid space being arranged vertically above the oil sump space. The transmission further includes a first oil guide shell and a second oil guide shell each fixed to the transmission housing. Additionally, the transmission includes rotating components installable in a portion of the hybrid space between the first oil guide shell and the second oil guide shell in an axial direction, where the rotating components includes at least one electric machine, a damper, and a torsional shock absorber. Two contactless gap seals are formed by one of the oil guide shells and at least one of the rotating components such that oil entry from the oil sump into the portion of the hybrid space is delimited axially by the oil guide shells and radially by the gap seals.

The present disclosure relates to an in-wheel driving apparatus, and an in-wheel driving apparatus includes a case having an interior space, a first gear disposed in the interior space to be rotatable about a first rotary shaft, a second gear engaged with the first gear and disposed in the interior space to be rotatable about a second rotary shaft, and a first partition wall including a first area provided along a circumference of the first gear and a second area extending from one end of the first area in a direction that is away from the first rotary shaft, and disposed in the interior space.

An automatic transmission has an oil pump driven by a travelling driving source. An air vent structure that expels air bubbles contained in automatic transmission fluid during pump operation has an air vent hole whose one end communicates with an outlet port of the oil pump and whose other end opens toward the oil pan. An air vent tube is connected to an opening end of the air vent hole. The air vent tube is extended up to a strainer lower side gap area located between a strainer and the oil pan, and a tube opening end of the air vent tube is placed in oil of the automatic transmission fluid.

A fluid sump for accommodating a lubricating fluid and transmission housing for a vehicle comprising such a fluid sump. The fluid sump may comprise a first compartment for collecting the lubricating fluid, a second compartment in which the lubricating fluid can be brought in contact with a rotating member, and an intermediate compartment having a first opening for introducing the lubricating fluid from the first compartment into the intermediate compartment, a second opening for introducing the lubricating fluid from the intermediate compartment into the second compartment, and a floating element. In one or more examples, the first opening can be opened and closed by the floating element, and the first compartment, the intermediate compartment and the second compartment are provided with ambient pressure.
