An apparatus includes a shared cooling device for cooling one or more systems or components, and a plurality of primary cooling pathways. Each of the primary cooling pathways includes a fan, and each fan is in fluid communication with the shared cooling device.

Systems and methods for a temperature measurement device. A transmission includes a rotatable housing. The temperature measurement positioned on a transmission housing. The interior volume of the rotatable housing is partially filled with lubricant of transmission components residing within the interior volume of the housing. The temperature measurement device in contact with the lubricant and in communication with a device exterior to the transmission.

A fluid pump unit includes: an electric pump unit configured to circulate a fluid in a gear mechanism; a cooling unit configured to cool the circulating fluid; and a flow path distribution member disposed on the gear mechanism and including therein a first flow path connected to the electric pump unit and a second flow path connected to the cooling unit, the electric pump unit and the cooling unit being installed on the flow path distribution member.

A planetary gear device includes: a sun gear; a plurality of planet gears that mesh with the sun gear; and a baffle unit disposed in a circumferential gap between the adjacent planet gears. The baffle unit includes: a first introduction opening portion open in a radially inward direction to introduce lubricating oil, which has lubricated the sun gear and the planet gears, into the baffle unit; an end wall forming one end in an axial direction of the first introduction opening portion; a discharge opening portion to discharge lubricating oil in the baffle unit; and a guide portion disposed at a side portion of the baffle unit on a rear side in rotation direction of the sun gear, and configured to cover the first introduction opening portion in the circumferential direction and to guide the lubricating oil to an outer circumference of the adjacent planet gears.

A transfer case and transmission are designed to permit the transmission hydraulic control system to control a range selection coupler and a torque on demand clutch in the transfer case. Two pressure circuits are transmitted from the transmission to the transfer case: a high range circuit and a low range circuit. The low range circuit is pressurized to engage low range while the range circuit is pressurized to engage high range. The torque on demand clutch is controlled by whichever of these circuits has the higher pressure. Lubrication is provided to a front section of the transfer case via the transmission output shaft, with the fluid returning to the transmission sump through a drainback passageway. The rear portion of the transfer case has a segregated sump. A control strategy is employed to partially fill front section of the transfer case with fluid in preparation for vehicle towing.

A gearbox assembly includes a housing with a housing interior. A sump is disposed within a lower region of the gearbox housing. A lubricated transmission element is arranged in the housing interior above the sump. A lubricant impoundment is arranged within the housing and in series between the transmission element and the sump such that lubricant flowing in a primary lubricant flow path between the transmission element and the sump is impounded in the lubricant impoundment, thereby providing a supply of lubricant for a secondary lubricant flow path disposed within the gearbox housing.

An epicyclic gear train component includes spaced apart walls with circumferentially spaced mounts that interconnect the walls. The mounts provide circumferentially spaced apart apertures between the mounts at an outer circumference of the walls. Baffles are arranged between the walls near the mounts. Gear pockets are provided between the baffles and the baffles include a lubrication passage that terminates at least one of the gear pockets. One of the walls includes a hole which has a tube that extends through the hole and is received in an opening in the baffle. The tube is in communication with the lubrication passage.

A lubricant nozzle for a planetary gear set speed reducer of a turbomachine, the nozzle having a generally elongate shape and including a body with a longitudinal axis B, the body having a longitudinal inner cavity in fluid communication with a lubricant inlet located at a longitudinal end of the body and with lubricant outlet apertures that are provided in an annular wall of the body and that extend substantially radially relative to axis B, wherein the apertures are formed in at least one boss of the body, which boss projects radially outwards on the wall and extends, about the axis, at an angular extent that does not exceed 180°.

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.

A carrier includes a first carrier portion and a second carrier portion. The first carrier portion includes a gear housing space that houses a planetary gear, an opening that opens the gear housing space toward the second carrier portion and allows the planetary gear to fit into the gear housing space, and a first support hole that supports a first end portion of the planetary support shaft. The second carrier portion includes a cover portion that covers the opening, a second support hole that supports a second end portion of the planetary support shaft, and a joining portion that detachably joins the second carrier portion to the first carrier portion. The joining portion is joined to the first carrier portion by being tightened in a direction aligned with a direction of an axial core of a sun gear.
