Abstract: POWER GEARING Where a single output gear is driven from a single input pinion through a pair of idler gears an equal torque division between the two idlers is accomplished by floating the input pinion between the two idlers in a yoke that is hinged to the gear housing by spaced hinge pins. One hinge pin is located on the resultant load line from the points where the pinion meshes with the idlers and the other pin has a small clearance to allow the yoke to pivot about the first or loaded pin. Lubrication by oil under pressure for both pins assures a damping action at the loose pin. H857-PP

Abstract: A system (10) of parallel hydraulic actuators (15) and (20) includes a pair of laterally spaced, longitudinally extending, discrete feedback levers (180) and (185) which independently provide feedback signals to a pair of actuator control valves (50) and (55) with enhanced accuracy and minimal lateral loading of the system.

Abstract: A propeller system has a pair of hub assemblies (12,14) driven in counter-rotation, each hub assembly having a mechanical pitch change actuator (18,20), each actuator being provided with a pitch lock (60) that rotates simultaneously with the motion of the actuator to allow the actuator to set propeller blade pitch, but locks the propeller blade positionally when not rotating simultaneously with the actuator, and a differential for transmitting a pitch change signal across a rotating gap between the two hub assemblies and for providing power to a means for providing the pitch change signals. A pair of motors (112,114) provide the rotative signal to set the pitch of the blades in each hub assembly. One of the pair of motors drives the actuator towards high pitch and the other motor drives the actuator towards low pitch. A synchronizer (76) coordinates the signals of the first and second motors so that a pitch lock moves simultaneously with the actuator.

Abstract: Wind Turbine Blade Pitch Control System A pitch control system for a multibladed variable pitch wind turbine. Each of the turbine blades is pivotally driven about the longitudinal axis thereof independently of the other blades by at least a pair of hydraulic actuators. The actuators are supplied with pressurized hydraulic fluid from a first source thereof under conditions of normal pitch change adjustment. Under conditions wherein feathering of the blades is required, the actuators are supplied with hydraulic fluid from second sources thereof such that one of the actuators associated with each of the blades is supplied with fluid from one second source and a second actuator is provided with fluid from a redundant second source whereby blade feathering may be effected despite a malfunction of one of the redundant sources or one of the actuators. In one of the two preferred embodiments disclosed, the first and second fluid sources are maintained in mutual communication whereby fluid from the second sources thereof may supplement fluid from the first source under conditions of normal blade pitch adjustment.

Abstract: Lubrication of the fan of a fan propulsor is obtained by damming the oil at judicious locations within the hub so that a centrifugal ring of oil is formed around the parts intended to be lubricated and continuously feeding a replenishing chamber and draining the excess during rotation for replenishing the oil in the dammed areas when the fan is nonrotating for achieving a controlled lubrication level.
