  • Patent number: 11808344
    Abstract: A planet carrier for a mechanical gearbox for a turbomachine includes a one-piece cage that extends about an axis of rotation defining an internal housing configured to receive a sun gear and planet gears of the gearbox. The planet carrier further includes a lubrication system with at least one bore formed in the cage and extending parallel to the axis over more than 30% of a maximum axial dimension (Lmax) of the cage. The lubrication system also includes for the at least one bore, at least two sprinklers which are fitted to the cage and which are each mounted in a recess of the cage.

  • Patent number: 11808213
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a mechanical reducer (6) for a turbomachine, in particular an aircraft, this reducer (6) including: a sun gear extending around an axis (61) of rotation, a crown which extends around the sun gear and which is configured to be fixed in rotation around said axis (61), planet gears which are meshed with the sun gear and the crown and which are held by a planet carrier (62) which is configured to be movable in rotation about said axis (61), In addition, the oil distributor (65) comprises a plurality of oil distribution modules (67) assembled together, each module (67) comprising at least one lubrication pipe (68) having an inlet intended to receive oil and an outlet (69) adapted to lead the oil into an opening (63) of the planet carrier (62), the opening (63) being intended for lubricating the reducer.

  • Patent number: 10875634
    Abstract: A drive train for a helicopter, which includes an engine, a reduction gear and a main gearbox, the reduction gear including an output shaft, which are received in assembled front and rear housings, the output shaft being supported and guided rotatably by a plurality of rolling bearings, mounted in the housings. The drive train includes a redundant mount arranged around the output shaft and between a wall of the main gearbox and the front end of the front housing, and the redundant mount is configured, sized and attached to the wall of the main gearbox and to the front end of the front housing so as to create, if the front housing breaks, a secondary path for absorbing loads passing via the redundant mount, via the output shaft of the reduction gear and via the bearings.
