  • Publication number: 20170145857
    Abstract: A device for lubricating a turbomachine rolling bearing includes a rolling bearing mounted between an internal component and an external component. The bearing has rolling elements mounted between an outer ring secured to the external component and an inner ring secured to the internal component. The internal component includes at least one first duct for the passage of oil for supplying the internal ring of the bearing with oil, wherein the internal component is a stator component and at least one first duct is connected to an oil supply source configured to deliver the oil at a pressure high enough that this oil can be conveyed as far as the rolling elements of the bearing.

  • Publication number: 20150198065
    Abstract: The primary subject-matter of the invention is a turbomachine assembly (1), comprising first (2) and second (3) bodies, at least one (2) of which is rotating relative to the other (3) around the axis of rotation (T) of the turbomachine (10), between which a tight zone (EH) is formed comprising a sealing gasket (16), a flowing fluid (H), in particular lubricant oil (H), able to circulate inside the first (2) and second (3) bodies and to be driven toward said at least one rotating body (2) from the other body (3), characterized in that said at least one rotating body (2) comprises means (4a, 4b, 4c; 5a, 5b) for guiding the rotation, in the direction of rotation (F3) of said at least one rotating body (2), of the flow of fluid (H) inside said at least one rotating body (2) so as to drive the flowing fluid (H) away from the tight zone (EH).
