  • Patent number: 8636615
    Abstract: A planetary gear train is provided with: a planetary gear; a planetary pin for supporting the planetary gear; a carrier for supporting the planetary pin; and a housing for accommodating at least a portion of the carrier, the planetary gear and the planetary pin. The planetary gear is rotatable with respect to the planetary pin by a bearing. An oiling flow path for supplying lubricant oil to the bearing is formed inside the carrier. The carrier receives the lubricant oil into the oiling flow path from an oiling member stationarily fixed to the housing. The inlet for receiving the lubricant oil into the oiling flow path of the carrier from the oiling member is positioned inside the housing.

  • Patent number: 8371756
    Abstract: A journal bearing includes a bearing platform, a cylindrical bearing housing supported by the bearing platform via a plurality of load supporting members, a plurality of pads located swingable in the bearing housing so that a journal of a rotation shaft is supported by the pads, an oil supply mechanism for supplying oil to the bearing surfaces of the pads, and a connecting member which has an oil hole to communicate an oil supply passage in the bearing platform with an oil supply passage in the bearing housing so that oil is supplied from the bearing platform to the bearing surfaces of the pads. The connecting member carries a part of a bearing load exerted from the bearing housing, and is mounted such that the part of the bearing load carried by the connecting member is smaller than a bearing load carried by one of the load supporting members.

  • Publication number: 20120051915
    Abstract: A planetary gear train is provided with a planetary gear and a planetary pin inserted into the planetary gear. The planetary gear includes: a gear member having teeth on the outer face and a through hole; an intermediate housing inserted into the through hole and having an insert hole into which the planetary pin is inserted; and a plurality of sliding bearing members jointed onto the insert hole of the intermediate housing. The plurality of sliding bearing members form a sliding bearing which sustains the planetary pin and the planetary gear to be rotatable with each other.
