OIL BAFFLE FOR GAS TURBINE FAN DRIVE GEAR SYSTEM

摘要

An epicyclic gear train component includes spaced apart walls with circumferentially spaced mounts that interconnect the walls. The mounts provide circumferentially spaced apart apertures between the mounts at an outer circumference of the walls. Baffles are arranged between the walls near the mounts. Gear pockets are provided between the baffles and the baffles include a lubrication passage that terminates at least one of the gear pockets. One of the walls includes a hole which has a tube that extends through the hole and is received in an opening in the baffle. The tube is in communication with the lubrication passage.
