A lubrication system for a gas turbine engine, the system comprising: a gearbox, the gearbox comprising a sump; an oil tank; a primary gearbox lubrication system configured to pump oil from the oil tank to lubricate the gearbox with a gearbox primary feed; a secondary gearbox lubrication system, configured to lubricate the gearbox with oil from the sump when the oil level in the sump reaches a predetermined level; wherein the system is configured to increase the oil level in the sump to at least the predetermined level in response to a failure of the primary gearbox lubrication system.

An example lubrication system for a rotating component has a primary lubrication system providing continuous lubrication during normal operation of the rotating component and secondary lubrication system with a reservoir co-rotating with the component. The reservoir is continuously replenished from the primary lubrication system during normal operation of the rotating system, with the lubricant being forced through a discharge orifice by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation toward, for example, a bearing or a gear. When the primary pressurized lubrication system fails, lubrication will continue to be provided by the lubricant in the supplemental lubricant reservoir while the rotation speed or power supplied to the shaft is controllably decreased in an emergency.

An exemplary assembly includes a housing including a flange extending from a perimeter of the housing, a cover including an edge tab extending from a perimeter of the cover, a gear set positioned between the housing and the cover, an alignment member positioned between the flange and the edge tab, the alignment member adjacent to an exterior surface of the gear set, and a ring at least partially encircling the housing, the ring including an anti-rotation member and a securing tab. The edge tab and the alignment member are enclosed by the anti-rotation member to maintain a radial position of the gear set.
