  • Patent number: 9545994
    Abstract: A device for feeding fluid to a hydraulic actuator for controlling a pitch of fan blades of a two-propeller turboprop, the device including: a fluid manifold secured to a rotor of the turboprop and including a cylindrical portion including at least two fluid-circulation grooves, each presenting an outlet orifice; a fluid-admission support secured to a stationary portion of the turboprop and including a cylindrical portion including at least two distinct fluid passages opening to fluid-admission tubes and each leading radially into one of the fluid-circulation grooves of the manifold; and a tub constrained to rotate with the fluid manifold and including a cylindrical portion including at least two fluid-flow channels, each fed with fluid by a respective one of the outlet orifices of the fluid dispenser, each fluid-flow channel leading to a respective chamber of a control actuator.

  • Patent number: 9279449
    Abstract: A device for centering and guiding rotation of a turbine engine shaft. The device includes a roller bearing and a ball bearing mounted around the shaft and carried respectively by first and second flexible annular supports, together with an oil film compression damper having a rigid annular support arranged around the roller bearing, the supports of the ball bearing and of the damper, and the roller bearing being stacked transversely, extending one around another.

  • Patent number: 9145847
    Abstract: A mechanical transmission device to driving in rotation counter-rotating propellers of a dual-propeller turboprop, including: an epicyclic gear train having a sun gear carried on a sun gear shaft centered on a longitudinal axis and which is connected upstream to a turbine rotor of the turboprop driven in rotation; at least one planet gear meshing with the sun gear; a planet gear carrier carrying the planet gear free to rotate and which is carried by a planet carrier shaft connected downstream to a first set of propellers to drive it in rotation; and a ring gear meshing with the planet gear and which is carried on a ring gear shaft connected downstream to a second set of propellers to drive it in rotation, is disclosed.
