  • Publication number: 20210010427
    Abstract: A mechanical reduction gear is suitable for a turbomachine and, in particular, a turbomachine of an aircraft. The reduction gear includes a sun gear, a ring gear formed by two half-ring gears, planet gears arranged between the sun gear and the ring gear, and at least one shaft rotationally fixed to the ring gear. The reduction gear further includes an annular covering part that extends around the ring gear and is independently fixed by flanges and/or splines to each of the half-ring gears.

  • Publication number: 20200386299
    Abstract: A planetary gearset having a first planet gear, a second planet gear, and pinion gears. The pinion gears mesh with the first planet gear and with the second planet gear, and each pinion gear is pivotally mounted around a shaft. A pinion gear carrier supports each shaft. Each shaft has a radially inner cylindrical portion mounted on the pinion gear carrier, a radially outer cylindrical portion about which the pinion gear is pivotally mounted and a flange extending radially from the radially outer cylindrical portion. The radially outer periphery of the flange is mounted on the pinion gear carrier. The radially outer cylindrical portion and the radially inner cylindrical portion are connected to each other by a radially extending connecting zone.

  • Publication number: 20200332721
    Abstract: A mechanical reduction gear for a turbomachine, in particular for an aircraft, this reduction gear including a sun gear having an axis of rotation, a ring gear which extends around the sun gear and which is configured to be fixed in rotation around the axis, planet gears which are in mesh with the sun gear and the ring gear and which are held by a planet carrier which is configured to be fixed or in rotation around the axis, each planet gear including a first toothing of average diameter D1 for the meshing with the sun gear, and a second toothing of average diameter D2, different from D1, for the meshing with the ring gear, wherein the first and second toothings of each planet gear include herringbone teeth and are symmetrical with respect to a plane perpendicular to the axis and passing substantially in the middle of the planet gear.

  • Publication number: 20200300173
    Abstract: The invention relates to the lubrication of a planet-carrier for a mechanical reduction gear of a turbine engine, in particular of an aircraft, said planet-carrier comprising a cage defining an internal housing intended to receive a central sun gear with an axis of rotation X, and an annular row of planet gears arranged around the sun gear, said cage comprising two annular walls that are radial with respect to said axis X, and connected to one another at their outer periphery by a cylindrical wall of axis X, at least one of these radial walls comprising orifices for mounting the axes of said planet gears, and the cylindrical wall comprising through-holes for the passage of the gearings of the planet gears so that they may engage with a gearing of the ring gear, which is intended to extend around the planet gears and the cage.

  • Publication number: 20200263784
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the lubrication of a planet-carrier for a mechanical reduction gear of a turbine engine, for example of an aircraft. The planet-carrier includes a cage defining an internal housing configured to receive a central sun gear with an axis of rotation X, and an annular row of planet gears arranged around the sun gear. The cage includes two annular walls that are radial with respect to the axis X, and connected to one another at their outer periphery by a cylindrical wall. At least one of the radial walls has orifices for mounting the planet gears, and the cylindrical wall has through-holes for the passage of the gearings of the planet gears so that they may engage with a gearing of the ring gear, which is configured to extend around the planet gears and the cage.

  • Publication number: 20200263613
    Abstract: A planetary gear train speed reduction gear planetary carrier (130) assembly and an elastically deformable annular member (160), for a turbine engine, in particular for an aircraft. The planetary carrier (130) has a general annular shape about an axis X. The annular member (160) extends about the axis X, and is fixed to the planetary carrier and configured to be fixed to a stator element (162) of the turbine engine ensuring a flexible connection between the planetary carrier and the stator element. The planetary carrier carries a series of protruding teeth (180) extending substantially radially outwards with respect to the axis X. Each of these teeth has first opposite side faces (180a, 180b) extending into planes passing through the axis X capable of engaging by abutment in the circumferential direction with the stator element. A vibration absorption system is inserted between the first faces and the stator element.
