ROTOR DRIVE SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. Powertrain
The powertrain distributes power from each
engine to the Main Rotor, NOTAR
®
Anti-
Torque System, Hydraulic Pumps, Lubrication
Pump and Oil Cooler Blowers. Power is
normally provided by two (2) engines, however
in case of an emergency, in-flight shutdown or
during ground operation, it can be provided by
a single engine.
2. Drive Subsystem
The drive subsystem distributes engine power,
to the correct usable speeds to the Main Rotor,
Anti-Torque, Hydraulic Pumps, Lubrication
Pump and Oil Cooler Blowers. The Drive
Subsystem consists of the following:
Main Transmission -
changes engine output
speed and direction to provide power at the
correct angles and speeds.
Input Drive Shafts -
two (2) drive shafts,
one from each engine speed Reduction
Gearbox, connects engines to the Main
Transmission.
Main Rotor Drive Shaft -
transmits power
from the Transmission to the Main Rotor
through the Main Rotor Drive Plate.
Anti-Torque Fan Drive Shaft -
transmits
main transmission torque to the Anti-Torque
fan.
Isolators -
dampens transmission noise that
would normally be carried between the top
case and Static Mast Base through the
structure to the fuselage.
Oil Cooler Assemblies -
air/oil heat ex
changers used to maintain the correct operat
ing temperature for the transmission oil and
components.
Rotor Brake Assembly -
is attached to the
lower portion of the transmission case housing
and is used to stop the main rotor after
landing and to prevent windmilling of the
rotor in high wind conditions.
A. Main Transmission
The main transmission is a self contained wet
sump design. Externally it consists of a forged
aluminum alloy Top Case Assembly that
attaches the transmission assembly to the
Static Mast Base Assembly, and cast alumi
num alloy Main Case assembly that contains
the gears, bearings and oil.
The transmission uses spiral bevel gears to
change direction of rotation and provide the
speeds for the Anti-Torque Drive, Hydraulic
Pump Drive, Oil Cooler Drive and internally
driven Oil Pump Drive quills. A combination of
spiral bevel gears and epicyclic (planetary)
spur gears are used to change rotational
direction and speed reduction for the Main
Rotor.
The transmission changes the Engine Reduc
tion Gearbox output/Main Transmission input
speed by the ratios shown in the following list.
The speeds shown are only under normal 100
% (6,000 rpm) input speed condition.
392 rpm - Main Rotor output speed
6,000 rpm - Hydraulic Pump Drive speed
10,615 rpm - Oil Cooler Blower speed
5,412 rpm - Lubrication Pump speed
5,412 rpm - Anti-Torque drive speed
There are no life limited components when the
transmission is used at certified operating
power conditions.
The transmission main case and drive quill
assemblies are master shimmed to allow
individual removal of each quill for repair or
replacement.
Input Quill Assembly -
attaches the input
drive shaft to each input quill and contains a
overrunning sprag clutch. The clutch decouples
the transmission from the engine during
engine start up, in the event of an engine
in-flight shutdown and/or during autorotation.
