  • Publication number: 20250059918
    Abstract: An aircraft turbomachine has a gas generator that includes, along a longitudinal axis (X), at least one compressor, a combustion chamber, and at least one turbine. The turbomachine further includes at least one duct for supplying liquid to at least one member chosen from an oil jet and a fuel injector. The duct (20) has rectilinear portions and bent portions and includes at least one region in which the liquid is liable to coke. The turbomachine also includes at least one turbulence element in the at least one region in the duct.

  • Publication number: 20240239509
    Abstract: A transmission device for a hybrid aircraft comprising a turboshaft engine including a gas generator, a free turbine, and a main rotor, the device comprising a first reversible electric machine coupled to a shaft of the free turbine by way of a first deactivatable coupling means, and to the main rotor, and a second reversible electric machine coupled to a shaft of the gas generator by way of a second deactivatable coupling means, and coupled to the main rotor by way of a third deactivatable coupling means, the second deactivatable coupling means being able to be activated when the second electric machine rotates in a first direction of rotation, and the third deactivatable coupling means being able to be activated when the second electric machine rotates in a second direction of rotation opposite to the first direction of rotation.

  • Publication number: 20240053213
    Abstract: An assembly for measuring a torque transmitted between a first member and a second member of a turbomachine includes a pinion having a first annular portion and a second annular portion joining together at a connecting portion carrying a gearing of the pinion, said first and second annular portions extending axially in opposite directions, from the connecting portion. The pinion also includes an axial power shaft with a first area coupled to the first annular portion, and a second area for coupling to the second member, and a device for measuring the torsion between the first and second areas. The device includes a first phonic wheel on the power shaft, a second phonic wheel equipping the second annular portion of the pinion and axially aligned with the first phonic wheel, and an acquisition means axially aligned with and opposite to the first phonic wheel and the second phonic wheel and outputting a signal representative of an angular variation.

  • Publication number: 20230008954
    Abstract: Rolling bearing with three contact points, wherein the inner raceway, the third contact point being located in a sector of the outer raceway delimited by a proximal end of the outer raceway on the one hand, and by the rolling plane on the other hand, characterized in that the outer ring comprises a drain provided in the outer raceway, and opening from an outer surface of the outer ring, said drain opening eccentrically on the outer raceway with respect to the rolling plane, in a sector of the outer raceway delimited by the rolling plane on the one hand, and a distal end of the outer raceway on the other hand, the drain and the third contact point being disjoint.

  • Publication number: 20220249995
    Abstract: A component for a centrifugal degasser for an air/oil mixture of a turbomachine is disclosed. The degasser rotates about an axis of symmetry, forming an annular chamber for centrifugal separation of the mixture. The chamber forms a fluid passage duct, one inlet of which is oriented axially for supplying the chamber with the mixture, and a first outlet of which is oriented radially inwards for discharging the deoiled air separated from the mixture. The chamber also includes at least one second oil outlet oriented radially outwards and intended to discharge the oil separated from the mixture to the outside of the degasser. The chamber has longitudinal walls passing radially therethrough, at least one of the surfaces of the longitudinal walls having surface structures and/or corrugations arranged to form obstacles to a flow of the mixture along the surface of the longitudinal walls.

  • Publication number: 20210231034
    Abstract: A part for a centrifugal breather for an air/oil mixture of a turbomachine is configured to rotate about a longitudinal axis of symmetry. The breather forms an annular chamber for centrifugal separation of said mixture. The chamber includes mesh structure that takes up at least one space in a duct which closes communication between an axial inlet and an internal radial outlet. The mesh structure is formed by the spatial repetition of the material or of the space of a single pattern produced by the interconnection of simple shapes. The pattern is designed such that the spaces between the materials paths passing through the materials in at least three dimensions of space forming a trihedron.
