  • Patent number: 11499623
    Abstract: An installation for mounting an outer sun gear in a reduction gear. The reduction gear includes an outer sun gear and planet gears meshing with an inner sun gear and with the outer sun gear and each mounted for free rotation around a pivot of a planet carrier. The outer sun gear includes a first crown having a first toothing and a second crown having a second toothing each meshing with first and second toothings of the planet gears. The installation includes a frame for supporting the reduction gear along its longitudinal axis, and first and second torque applicators, such as cylinders, that apply a torque around an axis of first and second rings, respectively. The first ring is configured to engage with the first crown of the outer sun gear and the second ring is configured to engage with a second crown of the outer sun gear.

  • Patent number: 11261798
    Abstract: An impeller for a planet carrier of a epicyclic speed reduction gear of a turbine engine is fixed in rotation to the planet carrier and is rotatable about an axis of the reduction gear. The impeller has an annular shape about the axis and includes means for lubricating in particular planet gear bearings of the reduction gear. The lubricating means include an annular cavity located at the inner periphery of the impeller, wherein the impeller has an inner peripheral wall that closes the cavity in the radial direction. The impeller further includes an annular aperture that extends around the axis and opens in the axial direction into the cavity to supply lubricating oil thereto.

  • Publication number: 20210254702
    Abstract: A method of mounting a gearbox is described. The gearbox includes an outer sun gear and planet gears meshing with an inner sun gear and with the outer sun gear and each mounted for free rotation around a pivot of a planet carrier. The outer sun gear includes a first crown having a first toothing and a second crown having a second toothing each meshing with first and second toothings of the planet gears. The method consists in applying simultaneously and independently a first torque to the first crown centered on the axis of the first crown and a second torque is applied to the second crown centered on the axis of the second crown, the first torque and the second torque having identical values.

  • Patent number: 10975952
    Abstract: Device of the reduction gear or differential type for a turbine engine of an aircraft. A central sun gear and a row of planet gears, each of the planet gears are rotationally guided by at least one bearing extending around a tubular support. The tubular support includes an inner cavity for the reception of oil and through-orifices for the passage of oil of the tubular support to the at least one bearing. A member for circulating the oil is mounted in the cavity and includes at least one oil duct intended to be connected to an oil supply. The oil is intended to flow from the at least one duct into the inner cavity to form an oil film in contact with said tubular support, and to flow through the orifices.
