Abstract:
The invention concerns an epicycloidal gear train comprising a central pinion (26), an outer crown (28) and satellite pinions (32) in engagement with the central pinion (26) and the outer crown (28) and each mounted freely rotatable on a satellite carrier (36), the gear train (10) comprising means for lubricating the teeth and axes (34) of the satellite pinions (32), these means including an annular cup (56) integral with the satellite carrier (36) opened radially inward. According to the invention, an annular bailer (64) is arranged radially inside the cup (56) and applied annularly sealingly to it, the annular bailer (64) being fixed in rotation to the central pinion (26).
