Abstract: A turbomachine roller bearing that supports a shaft constituted by a trunnion of a shaft line of a high-pressure spool of a turbomachine to rotate relative to a stationary support that is connected to a casing of the turbomachine, said bearing comprising rollers inserted between an outer ring disposed adjacent to the stationary support and an inner ring disposed adjacent to the high-pressure trunnion, the inner ring extending along the axis beyond a downstream end of the high-pressure trunnion to which it is secured by clamping means, and being provided with anti-rotation means for preventing said inner ring from rotating relative to the high-pressure trunnion.

Abstract: A sealing device for sealing between two static portions of a turbomachine includes a brush gasket formed by a plurality of resilient bristles which are, at least in part, held in a housing. Each bristle has a main portion and a secondary portion interconnected by a bent portion. The secondary portion has a free end ensuring leaktight contact with a surface that is to be sealed of the other static portion. The sealing device further includes a flexible washer of bent section which has a free end bearing both against the free ends of the secondary portions of the bristles of the brush gasket, and against the surface that is to be sealed so that the free ends of the secondary portions of the bristles of the brush gasket are permanently in contact with the surface that is to be sealed.

Abstract: A method of inspecting the profile of the connection zone between the cylindrical portion and the taper of a roller for a turbomachine roller bearing. The surface profile is geometrically defined by a first zone corresponding to the taper of the roller, a second zone corresponding to the connection between the cylindrical portion and the taper, and a third zone corresponding to the cylindrical portion of the roller. The method consists in taking a measurement of the surface profile of the roller; on the basis of a calculation of the first derivative of the measured profile, in calculating straight line segments for each of the geometrical zones of the roller, where said straight line segments model the first derivative of the measured profile; in calculating the radii of curvature of the surface profile of the roller by taking the first derivative of the straight line segments; and in comparing the calculated radii of curvature with predefined threshold values in order to verify continuity thereof.

Abstract: A rolling bearing defines a separation between an oil enclosure and an air enclosure. The bearing includes rolling elements defining a first side opening and a second side opening, and includes an annular junction piece having an annular contact surface with the structural piece. An oil film is disposed at the annular contact surface between the structural piece and the junction piece and is laterally defined by at least two sealing rings. A sealing device covers at least part of the first side opening. A first oil circulation device feeds the oil film with oil and feeds the rolling elements beside the oil enclosure with oil from the oil film. A second oil circulation device, independent of the first, recovers the oil used for lubricating the rolling elements and is arranged in such a manner as to avoid oil flowing towards the air enclosure.

Abstract: A link including a rod with a connection member at each end with an axis passing through both connection members. The rod includes a fusible zone as a narrow section lying between a first rod portion connected to a first connection member and a second rod portion connected to a second connection member. The fusible zone breaks when tensile force to which the link is subjected is greater than a predetermined value. The two rod portions are inseparable in event of the fusible zone breaking by a cylinder coaxial about the axis and secured to the first rod portion, and having an end wall through which the second rod portion passes. The second rod portion includes a collar that can slide into the cylinder if the fusible zone breaks. The inside wall of the cylinder includes teeth configured to be broken by the collar if the fusible zone breaks.

Abstract: A rolling bearing for a turbomachine supporting a first shaft to rotate relative to a second shaft, and comprising: a plurality of rolling elements engaged between an inner annular ring mounted on the second shaft and an outer annular ring mounted on the first shaft; an oil film formed at an annular contact surface between said outer ring and said first shaft; at least one duct passing through said inner ring and opening out in an inner race for said rolling elements in order to lubricate them; and at least one additional duct passing through said inner ring and opening out outside the inner race in order to feed oil through said outer ring to said oil film under the effect of the centrifugal force generated by said second shaft rotating, said outer ring having an annular shoulder projecting radially towards the inside of said annular space, said shoulder having at least one channel opening out substantially in register with said additional duct and opening out into said oil film.

Abstract: A rolling bearing for supporting a shaft in rotation inside an annular structural piece, said bearing defining a separation between an oil enclosure and an air enclosure, and comprising: a plurality of rolling elements engaged between an inner bearing ring and an outer bearing ring and defining a first side opening beside said air enclosure and a second side opening beside said oil enclosure; at least one annular junction piece mechanically connected to said outer bearing ring and having an annular contact surface with said structural piece; an oil film disposed at said annular contact surface between said structural piece and said junction piece and laterally defined by at least two sealing rings; sealing means covering at least part of said first side opening beside said air enclosure; first oil circulation means for feeding said oil film with oil and for feeding said rolling elements beside said oil enclosure with oil from said oil film in order to lubricate them; and second oil circulation means, independ

Abstract: A lubricant drainage circuit outside a roller bearing is fitted such that an output draining through a drained ring is controlled by providing drainage channels crossing the ring and having different inclinations in a circumferential direction of the drained ring.
