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 an inner side and an outer side. The journal bearing includes a bore, a passage and a groove. The bore extends axially within the journal bearing and is formed by the inner side. The passage extends radially within the journal bearing and is fluidly coupled with the bore and the groove. The groove is arranged at the outer side. The groove extends longitudinally within the journal bearing between a first end and a second end. The groove extends axially within the journal bearing between a first side and a second side. An axial distance between the first side and the second side changes as the groove extends longitudinally between the first end and the second end.

Lubrication device for a turbomachine reduction gear, the device comprising an annular lubricating oil collecting cup delimited by a first wall and a second wall, said cup being divided by internal walls extending between the first wall and the second wall so as to define a plurality of angular sectors forming oil collection basins, the basins being circumferentially adjacent around the axis and comprising lubricating oil outlets, characterized in that one or more of said internal walls have openings allowing oil to pass between the circumferentially adjacent basins, characterized in that said openings (58) are formed in one or more of said internal walls so as to define one or more rows of openings in said one or more internal walls.

A lubrication arrangement includes at least one housing, at least one shaft, at least one bearing system configured to hold the at least one shaft in the at least one housing and to permit the at least one shaft to rotate, lubricant distributed in the at least one housing with the rotation of the at least one shaft, and a lubricant deflector provided in a stationary manner relative to the at least one housing above the at least one shaft. The lubricant strikes against the lubricant deflector and, by action of gravity, the lubricant is conducted to the at least one bearing system of the at least one shaft so that the at least one bearing system is supplied with the lubricant.

A lubrication distribution system is provided for mechanical systems, including gearboxes, to evenly and precisely apply lubricant to system structures during operation. The system includes a rotating lubrication distribution component that functions both to pump and to precisely direct lubricant. Machined locator elements enable accurate positioning of the rotating lubrication distribution component within the system. A plurality of lateral ports and surface features in the rotating lubrication distribution component receive and distribute lubricant transferred during rotation from one or more lubricant collection components with profiled lubricant transfer elements that enables collection of lubricant from eddies produced by profiles of the lubricant transfer elements during rotation of the rotating lubrication distribution component. Collected lubricant is directed into the rotating lubrication distribution component ports and distributed evenly and precisely to mechanical system or gearbox structures requiring lubrication. An existing gearbox thrust bearing may be modified to receive and precisely distribute lubricant.

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.

A planetary gearing includes at least a first planetary stage and a second planetary stage and a double-walled pipe. The double-walled pipe has an inner pipe and an outer pipe and is provided with an outlet point in a central section. A bushing is arranged on the outlet point.

A power transmission device includes first and second drive shafts, a differential mechanism, a case, a pinion shaft, a pinion gear, and a bearing. The differential mechanism is connected to the second drive shaft. The differential mechanism includes a first side gear connected to the first drive shaft, a second side gear, first and second pinion mate gears that engage with the first and second side gears, first and second pinion mate shafts that respectively support the first and second pinion mate gears. The pinion gear includes small and large diameter gear parts. The bearing is positioned between the pinion shaft and the pinion gear, and is lubricated via an oil hole that is open facing an outside of the case at a small diameter gear part side. The small diameter gear part is positioned between the first and second pinion mate shafts in a circumferential direction.

A lubrication distribution system is provided for mechanical systems, including gearboxes, to evenly and precisely apply lubricant to system structures during operation. The system includes a rotating lubrication distribution component that functions both to pump and to precisely direct lubricant. Machined locator elements enable accurate positioning of the rotating lubrication distribution component within the system. A plurality of lateral ports and surface features in the rotating lubrication distribution component receive and distribute lubricant transferred during rotation from one or more lubricant collection components with profiled lubricant transfer elements that enables collection of lubricant from eddies produced by profiles of the lubricant transfer elements during rotation of the rotating lubrication distribution component. Collected lubricant is directed into the rotating lubrication distribution component ports and distributed evenly and precisely to mechanical system or gearbox structures requiring lubrication. An existing gearbox thrust bearing may be modified to receive and precisely distribute lubricant.

A differential case includes an outer shell wall portion configured to accommodate a pinion gear therein, and a first groove is formed in an inner surface of the outer shell wall portion on a back surface side of the pinion gear. In addition, a convex portion is formed on the inner surface of the outer shell wall portion on the back surface side of the pinion gear, and the first groove is formed in the convex portion. Further, a diameter of the convex portion is equal to or larger than a diameter of a back surface of the pinion gear.

The disclosed technology includes a water cooled planetary system comprising a planetary gearing system and a cooling assembly integrated into the planetary gearing system. The cooling assembly further comprises a stationary shaft, a main rotary union housed within the stationary shaft and a coolant tubing disposed on the main rotary union configured to deliver a coolant.
