POWER TRANSMISSION DEVICE
A power transmission device includes a motor, a gear mechanism connected downstream of the motor and lubricated by oil, and a box. The box has a wall part that covers an outer circumference of the gear mechanism, and a jacket part that covers an outer circumference of the wall part. A cooling chamber, in which cooling liquid is introduced, is formed between the wall part and the jacket part. The cooling chamber includes a portion that overlaps with the gear mechanism when seen from a radial direction, and a portion that overlaps the gear mechanism when seen from an axial direction.
RING GEAR MOUNTING ARRANGEMENT WITH OIL SCAVENGE SCHEME
An epicyclic gear train for a turbine engine includes a gutter with an annular channel. A rotating structure includes a ring gear that has an aperture that is axially aligned with the annular channel. Axially spaced apart walls extend radially outward relative to the rotating structure to define a passageway. The passageway is arranged radially between and axially aligned with the aperture and the annular channel. The walls are configured to inhibit an axial flow of an oil passing from the aperture toward the annular channel.
Pivot for a turbomachine mechanical reduction gear
A pivot (14) with a longitudinal axis (Y) for a bearing of a mechanical reduction gear, comprising a first annular part (14a) including an axial passage (17) and a second annular part (14b) mounted around the first annular part (14a), the first annular part (14a) delimiting with the second annular part (14b) a lubrication circuit at least one oil inlet (20) of which opens out inwards of the first annular part (14a) into the axial passage (17) and at least one oil outlet (28) of which opens radially outwards of the second annular part (14b).
Unit-type strain wave gearing device
A unit-type strain wave gearing device provided with a cross roller bearing that supports an internally toothed gear and an externally toothed gear in a state in which both gears can rotate relative to each other, and a meshing section of both gears is lubricated with grease. A gap by which the meshing section and the cross roller bearing raceway groove communicate is formed between the inner ring of the cross roller bearing and the external gear. Due to the pump effect caused by deflection of the external gear, grease is pushed from the meshing section to the gap. Some grease is returned to the inner space of the externally toothed gear via a grease-flowing hole that penetrates the diaphragm of the external gear. Thus, leakage of grease from an oil seal of the cross roller bearing to the unit side can be controlled.
ARRANGEMENT FOR LUBRICATING A GEAR
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.
PIVOT FOR A TURBOMACHINE MECHANICAL REDUCTION GEAR
A pivot (14) with a longitudinal axis (Y) for a bearing of a mechanical reduction gear, comprising a first annular part (14a) including an axial passage (17) and a second annular part (14b) mounted around the first annular part (14a), the first annular part (14a) delimiting with the second annular part (14b) a lubrication circuit at least one oil inlet (20) of which opens out inwards of the first annular part (14a) into the axial passage (17) and at least one oil outlet (28) of which opens radially outwards of the second annular part (14b).
Lightweight journal support pin
A journal support pin to support intermediate gears for use in gas turbine engine comprises a titanium body, and an outer surface outside of the titanium body having a surface hardness that is harder than the body. A gas turbine engine and a method of forming a journal support pin to support intermediate gears for use in gas turbine engine are also disclosed.
Lightweight journal support pin
A gas turbine engine includes a propulsor and a fan drive turbine. The fan drive turbine drives the propulsor through a geared architecture. The geared architecture includes a sun gear, a ring gear, and intermediate gears supported on journal support pins. The sun gear engages the intermediate gears and the intermediate gears engages the ring gear. The journal support pins include a titanium body and an outer surface outside of the titanium body that has a surface hardness that is harder than the titanium body. The outer surface is provided by a steel sleeve. Oil supply holes extend from a central bore in the titanium body through the steel sleeve. At least one pin extends through the steel sleeve to secure the steel sleeve to the titanium body.
Lubricating liquid manifold for a crankpin of an epicyclic gear train, gearbox and aircraft
A lubricating liquid manifold for a crankpin of an epicyclic gear train. The epicyclic gear train is lubricated by a lubrication system conveying a first flow of a lubricating liquid towards the manifold and a second flow of the lubricating liquid towards a member to be lubricated. The manifold comprises a hollow body provided with an inlet port intended to receive the first flow and an outlet port designed such that the first flow is conveyed towards a guide device connected to the crankpin. The manifold comprises a barrier comprising a shoulder connected to the body and a deflector protruding radially outwards from the body so as to form, with the shoulder, a diversion space for diverting the second flow and preventing it from penetrating into the manifold.
Gear box with an oil stirring box
Provided is a gear box including a lubricating oil pool arranged at a bottom of the gear box, and at least one oil stirring box that includes an oil storage chamber, the oil storage chamber being provided with an oil scooping port and at least one oil outlet. The at least one oil stirring box is arranged on a rotary component in the gear box and rotatable along with the rotary component. A lubricating oil in the lubricating oil pool is allowed to flow through the oil scooping port into the oil storage chamber when the at least one oil stirring box rotates to the lubricating oil pool. The lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber is further allowed to flow out of the at least one oil outlet to a lubrication point when the oil stirring box rotates to the vicinity of the lubrication point.
