  • Publication number: 20230061493
    Abstract: A friction of a planetary gearbox, having first and second rotatably connected components. Oil adjacent an oil feed pocket of the first component is directed into a bearing clearance. The oil is directed into the pocket by a line that opens into the pocket. An oil supply unit supplies oil to the bearing clearance at a defined pressure. A ratio between the pulse, via which the oil is directed into the bearing clearance and which corresponds to the product of the square of the inflow rate of the oil into the clearance and the oil density, and the pulse of the oil which adheres to the internal side of the second component 5*10?3. The pulse of the oil adhering to the second component is equal to the product of the square of the velocity of the oil adhering to the second component and the oil density.

  • Publication number: 20230065946
    Abstract: A plain bearing of a planetary gearbox has first and second rotationally connected components. Oil adjacent an oil feed pocket of the first component is directed into the bearing clearance between the components by a first line that opens into the pocket. The line includes a first portion and a downstream second portion. The flow cross section of the first portion is smaller than the flow cross section of the second portion. The flow cross section for the oil, in the feed direction, in the circumferential direction of the clearance and in the main rotation direction of the second component relative to the first component increases more than counter to the main rotation direction of the second component, or in the circumferential direction of the clearance and counter to the main rotation direction of the second component increases more than in the main rotation direction of the second component.

  • Publication number: 20230061176
    Abstract: A friction bearing of a planetary gearbox, has first and second rotatably connected components. Oil adjacent an oil feed pocket of the first component is directed into the bearing clearance between the components. The oil is directed into the pocket by a first line that opens into the pocket. The profile of the line conjointly with the radial direction of the bearing clearance encloses an angle to direct the oil from the line into the oil feed pocket, the angle being approximately 5°-60° to the radial direction of the bearing clearance and in the main rotation direction of the second component in relation to the first component, or at an angle of approximately 5°-20° to the radial direction of the bearing clearance and in the circumferential direction of the bearing clearance and counter to the main rotation direction of the second component to the first component.
