Abstract:
A planet gearbox is provided for connection to a carrier of an epicyclic gearing arrangement with a single input and single output and including a sun gear, a ring gear and at least one double helix planet gear rotatable on a cylindrical roller bearing with a cage having a cross-web thickness of 15% to 25% of the diameter of the cylindrical rollers and an L/D ratio exceeding 1.0. A gas turbine engine includes a fan and LP shaft, which couples a compressor to a turbine. An epicyclic gearing arrangement has a single input from the LP shaft coupled to a sun gear, a single output coupled to the fan's shaft, and a planet bearing cage having a cross-web thickness measuring 15% to 25% of the roller's diameter.
