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.

The invention relates to a drive unit (10) for a vehicle, comprising an electric machine (12) having a rotor shaft (14) and a transmission (16) having a transmission shaft (18). According to the invention, the rotor shaft (14) and the transmission shaft (18) are interlocking and coupled by means of an interlocking toothing (44), wherein a lubricant channel (46) is formed in the transmission shaft (18), which feeds into an inner space (48) of the rotor shaft (14) at the end facing the rotor shaft (14) in order to provide lubricant for the interlocking toothing (44), wherein the rotor shaft (14) has an end side (50) at the axial end facing the transmission shaft (18), on which end side one or more openings (52) are formed, extending from an inner circumference (54) of the rotor shaft (14) bordering the inner space (48) to the outer circumference (56) thereof, such that the lubricant channel (46) is fluidically connected to the openings (52) via the inner space (48) and the interlocking toothing (44).

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.

An axle assembly having an interaxle differential unit. The interaxle differential unit includes first and second side gears and a gear nest but does not have a case. The gear nest includes a spider having at least one spider shaft, a pinion gear that is rotatably disposed on the spider shaft, and a pinion gear retainer that is fastened to the spider shaft to retain the pinion gear.

A oil supply unit includes an axial body including an axial through hole along an axis and disposed so as to be rotatable around the axis, a pipe member disposed along the axis inside the axial through hole, a support member supporting an axial end of the pipe member, and a partitioning member partitioning a circular space between the axial body and an the pipe member to an axial direction. A first through hole and a second through hole are respectively formed to penetrate the pipe member and the axial body so that an oil supplied to an inside of the pipe member flows to a radial outside of the axial body through the circular space, and the partitioning member includes a tapered portion extending toward a radial inside and the axial direction of the axial body from the inner circumferential surface of the axial body.

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.

Oil system for a turbomachine, making it possible to continue the supply of oil to the pieces of equipment of the turbomachine in case of occurrence of a fire within the turbomachine, including an oil circuit, at least one oil-consuming piece of equipment, supplied by the oil circuit, a pumping unit, including at least one speed-pilotable electrically driven pump, supplying the oil circuit, and an electronic control unit, configured to pilot the electrically driven pump, wherein the electronic control unit includes two separate logics of piloting the electrically driven pump, and wherein the electronic control unit is configured to pilot the electrically driven pump according to the first logic by default and to switch to the second logic in case of receipt of a signal representative of the presence of a fire or of an overheating.

In a strain wave gearing device, fine first and second lubricant-holding grooves for holding lubricant are formed at fine pitches in an outer-race external peripheral surface of a wave generator bearing and an outer-race-contacting internal peripheral surface portion of an externally toothed gear in contact therewith. Fine lubricant-guiding grooves for guiding the lubricant to the outer-race-contacting internal peripheral surface portion are formed at fine pitches in a second internal peripheral surface portion, which adjoins the outer-race-contacting internal peripheral surface portion, of an internal peripheral surface of the externally toothed gear. This configuration improves the contact state between the outer-race-contacting internal peripheral surface portion of the externally toothed gear and the outer-race external peripheral surface, thus suppressing fretting wear occurring in these surfaces.

A method of manufacturing a planet carrier of a gearbox comprises manufacturing a plurality of preforms. Each preform comprises a base portion, a first end portion connected to a first end of the base portion, a second end portion connected to a second end of the base portion, a first side portion connected to a first side of the base portion, a second side portion connected to a second side of the base portion and a top portion. The first and second end portions and the first and second side portions are folded relative to the base portion and the top portion is folded and the adjacent edges of the portions of each preform are secured together to form a support structure. A first ring and a second ring are manufactured. The first and second end portions of each support structure are secured to the first and second rings respectively.
