  • Patent number: 11959387
    Abstract: An air turbine starter that includes a housing. The housing can circumscribe a turbine coupled that is coupled to a gear train in a gear box via a drive shaft. The gear train can couple to an output shaft via at least a carrier. The air turbine starter can include at least a first bearing assembly and a second bearing assembly to rotatably support the drive shaft and the output shaft.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 26, 2023
    Date of Patent: April 16, 2024
    Assignees: Unison Industries, LLC, General Electric Company

  • Patent number: 11920672
    Abstract: An air turbine starter that includes a housing with a divider structure dividing the housing into a wet chamber and an air chamber. The air turbine starter further including a bearing assembly, a turbine member, a first drive shaft, and a second drive shaft connecting the turbine member with a rotating assembly. A lubricant supply portion having at least one supply inlet fluidly coupled to the wet chamber and at least one supply outlet fluidly coupled to the bearing assembly whereby lubricant from the wet chamber can be supplied to the bearing assembly.

  • Patent number: 11668244
    Abstract: An air turbine starter for starting an engine, comprising a housing defining an inlet, an outlet, and a flow path extending between the inlet and the outlet for communicating a flow of gas there through. A turbine member is journaled within the housing and disposed within the flow path for rotatably extracting mechanical power from the flow of gas and a gear train is drivingly coupled with the turbine member. A drive shaft is operably coupled with the gear train, and a decoupler is selectively coupled to the drive shaft for decoupling the air turbine starter from the engine.
