An arrangement for lubricating a gear in a toothed gearing comprising a shaft on which the gear is arranged is provided. An engaging ring with a central portion is arranged around said shaft and comprises a surface facing and spaced from an end surface of the gear creating a gap for guiding lubricant to the gear, and at least one first duct for lubricant, whereby said duct has at least one opening into the gap. The component comprises an annular portion with an inner peripheral surface mounted onto an outer peripheral surface of a shoulder on the gear; where axial discontinuities are provided between the shoulder and the annular portion of the component for guiding and distributing lubricant to the roots of the gear.

A side cover of a continuously variable transmission includes a recess portion supporting a bearing and a recess portion supporting a bearing. The recess portions are connected to each other through a lubricant path. An oil path into which a small diameter portion of a pipe-shaped member is inserted and a connection oil path connecting between the oil path and the lubricant path are connected to each other via a boss portion. The side cover includes a circumference wall portion provided with a plurality of bolt holes. The boss portion is disposed at a position between two of the bolt holes adjacent to each other in a circumference direction.

A power transmission device includes a plurality of power transfer pins mutually corresponding to a tooth shape formed on an outer gear to move the outer gear and having an arrangement structure of a circular shape; a pin rotation support portion connected to the plurality of power transfer pins and rotatably supporting the plurality of power transfer pins; and an external rotor motor portion arranged inside in a radial direction of the pin rotation support portion and connected to the pin rotation support portion, and generating rotational power to rotate the pin rotation support portion arranged outside.

An opposed-piston engine includes a backlash reducing gear with at least a first and second gear that move relative to each other because of a hydraulic pressure applied within the gear. A backlash control system that includes the backlash reducing gear can dynamically adjust backlash between at least two gears in the gear train of the engine during operation of the engine instead of setting backlash prior to operation of the engine. A method for adjusting backlash in a two-stroke-cycle, opposed-piston engine with a backlash reducing gear includes providing hydraulic fluid, such as oil, to the gear, and allowing the backlash reducing gear to adapt to changes in the engine that include temperature changes, torque reversals, changes in load and the like. The backlash reducing gear adapts to changes in the engine by controlled leaking and intake of oil.

A power transmission system includes a first case, a second case, a first tube, and a shaft. The first tube is configured to supply a lubricating oil to a first bearing and a second bearing. A shaft is rotatably supported by the first bearing and the second bearing. The shaft is provided with a through-hole extending through the shaft in an axial direction of the shaft. The first tube is insertedly fixed to an insertion hole of the first case from an outside of a space where the shaft is disposed. The first tube includes a first opening and a second opening, the first opening is configured to supply the lubricating oil to the first bearing, and the second opening is configured to supply the lubricating oil to the second bearing via the through-hole of the shaft.

A lubrication system for a rack and pinion mast of a drilling rig includes a lubricating pinion positioned on a cart and in engagement with the rack. The lubricating pinion includes a plurality of lubrication dispensing ports formed on faces of the teeth of the pinion. The lubrication dispensing ports are fluidly coupled to lubrication ports formed in the lubricating pinion. The lubrication ports fluidly couple to an inner bore of the lubricating pinion. The inner bore may be fluidly coupled to a lubricant reservoir.

The present invention describes an accessory gearbox with a shaft incorporated into a casing and connectable at least in one lateral end area to an accessory unit, with the shaft at least in the lateral end area being designed as a hollow shaft having an inner toothing. To lubricate the inner toothing in the area of the casing at least one baffle device is provided which is designed for guiding hydraulic fluid present in the area of the casing, under the effect of gravity, in the direction of at least one opening provided in the shaft.

A laminated sprocket assembly is provided formed of a plurality of layers that are connected together. Each of the layers is a stamped sheet metal layer having a plurality of spaced apart teeth located around a periphery thereof. The teeth in the plurality of connected layers are aligned. At least one of voids, channels, openings, or recesses are located in or between at least some of the layers for receiving and holding lubricating oil. This reduces noise and wear.

Embodiments are directed to a front end accessory drive (FEAD) and power modulating devices (PMD) which can be used in a FEAD. In one embodiment, a continuously variable transmission (CVT) is coupled directly to a crankshaft of a prime mover, and the CVT is used to regulate the speed and/or torque delivered to an accessory. A compound drive device includes a motor/generator subassembly cooperating with a CVT subassembly to provide a motor functionality with torque multiplication or division, or alternatively, a generator functionality with torque multiplication or division. In some embodiments, a FEAD includes a PMD having a sun shaft configured to couple to a sun of the PMD and to an electric motor component, such as an electrical armature or an electrical field. In one embodiment, the electrical armature the electrical field are placed concentrically and coaxially and configured to rotate relative to one another in opposite directions.

A gear arrangement, in particular for a rotary connection of a wind turbine, comprising a first gear, a second gear in engagement with the first gear, wherein in the engaged position a gap space is provided between a first tooth and a second tooth of the first gear and a tooth of the second gear, and a sealing element which seals off the gap space to prevent lubricant escape.
