Methods and systems are provided for lubrication of a transmission. In one example, the transmission system may include a pair of shielded bearings attached to a first transmission shaft, each of the shielded bearings including at least one shield that forms a restriction between the shield and a race of the bearing and a cavity positioned axially between the pair of shielded bearings, wherein the restrictions tune lubricant pressurization in the cavity. The transmission system further includes a radial passage in the first transmission shaft in fluidic communication with the cavity and a lubricated transmission component.

The invention describes a transmission (30) having a rotatably mounted component (34) that is designed with at least two approximately rotationally symmetrical channels (41, 141) into which oil from a respective oil supply (44, 144) fixed to the housing can be introduced proceeding from the respective radially inner region (42, 142) of said channels. In at least one radially outer region (45, 145), the channels (41, 141) each have at least one outlet opening (46, 146) for the oil. Furthermore, the oil can be conveyed from the outlet openings (46, 146) to at least one hydraulic consumer via at least one line region (47, 147) in each case. A gas turbine engine having the transmission (30) is also proposed.

A mechanical part for an aircraft turbomachine is made of metal and includes at least one profiled surface configured to ensure an oil flow during operation. The surface has a hydrophobic and/or lipophobic coating or a surface texturing rendering the surface hydrophobic and/or lipophobic.

A mechanical part for an aircraft turbomachine, the mechanical part being made of metal and comprising at least one profiled surface configured to ensure an oil flow during operation. According to the invention, the surface includes a more hydrophobic and/or lipophobic coating than the surface or a surface texturing rendering the surface more hydrophobic and/or lipophobic

A bearing lubrication structure for a wind power gearbox includes a housing, a bearing, a planet carrier, and an oil scraper assembly. The planet carrier is rotatably disposed on the housing through the bearing. A first end face of the planet carrier and a second end face of the housing form a receiving chamber. The oil scraper assembly is disposed on the second end face and is located in the receiving chamber. The oil scraper assembly includes an oil scraper member. The oil scraper member is configured to, when the planet carrier rotates, collect oil from the first end face and make the oil flow into the bearing.

A planet-carrier cage is provided for a turbomachine speed reducer having a planetary gear set. The cage contains a central sun gear and an annular row of planet gears arranged around the sun gear axis and engaging both the sun gear and an internal gear that surrounds the cage. A periphery of the cage has axial receiving elements configured to receive axial fingers secured to a cage carrier of the speed reducer. Each receiving element is penetrated by a radial spindle that guides the rotation of a connection means, such as a swivel joint or a bearing, which is supported by the fingers. The spindles include means for projecting lubricating oil into regions in which the planet gears mesh with the internal gear.

Briefly, the disclosure relates to apparatuses and methods to form a gearbox enclosure comprising an external liner, an internal liner, and a variable porosity region disposed between the external liner and the internal liner. The variable porosity region may be configured to accommodate flow of the lubricant, thereby providing a capability to cool, for example, a lubricating fluid at an elevated temperature.

An impeller (230) for a planet carrier of a planetary gear speed reducer of a turbomachine, is configured intended to be rotatably secured to the planet carrier and to be rotated about an axis A of the speed reducer. The impeller has an annular shape about the axis and includes lubrication means (43, 45, 238), in particular for lubricating bearings of planet gears of the speed reducer. The lubrication means include an annular cavity (238) situated at the inner periphery of the impeller. The impeller includes an inner peripheral wall (246) closing the cavity (238) in the radial direction, and the impeller includes an annular port (248) that extends around the axis and that opens in the axial direction into the cavity in order to supply it with lubricating oil.

An apparatus is provided for a turbine engine. This turbine engine apparatus includes a journal bearing extending axially along and circumferentially about an axis. The journal bearing extends radially between a bearing inner side and a bearing outer side. The journal bearing includes a bore, a passage, a groove and a slot. The bore extends axially within the journal bearing and along the bearing inner side. The passage extends radially within the journal bearing and is fluidly coupled with the bore and the groove. The groove extends longitudinally within the journal bearing at the bearing outer side between a groove first end and a groove second end. At least a portion of the slot extends circumferentially about the axis within the journal bearing at the bearing outer side from the groove first end to the groove second end.

An assembly is provided for a turbine engine. This turbine engine assembly includes a journal bearing and a filter. The journal bearing has an internal bearing bore. The filter is arranged within the internal bearing bore. The filter includes a tubular filter element and a first end cap. The tubular filter element extends axially along an axis between a first end and a second end. A perforated portion of the tubular filter element is radially disposed away from the journal bearing by a cavity. The first end cap is mounted to the tubular filter element at the first end. The first end cap is sealed radially against the journal bearing by a first interference fit.
