Abstract: A planet-carrier for an epicyclic gearing having an annular structure, provided with a coupling portion for being connected to a rotating member or to a static structure in an angularly fixed manner, and a ring that is coaxial to the annular structure along a transmission axis and consists of a plurality of plate-shaped sectors and of a plurality of attachment sectors, alternating with one another about the transmission axis; the plate-shaped sectors lie on a plane orthogonal to the transmission axis and are fixed with respect to pairs of pins, which protrude in opposite directions from the plate-shaped sectors and are adapted to carry respective planet gears; each of the attachment sectors is fastened to the structure by a corresponding pair of arms, which converge with each other towards the ring and are elastically deformable so as to allow a relative movement between the ring and the structure under load.

Abstract: A system for torque measurement is generally provided. The system includes a sensor disposed between an outer bearing race and a static structure of a bearing assembly. The sensor is disposed adjacent along a thrust load direction to the outer bearing race. The system further includes a rotor assembly rotatably coupled to the bearing assembly, and a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor. The controller is configured to store and execute operations. The operations include determining a torque measurement from the rotor assembly based at least on an axial thrust load from the rotor assembly.

Abstract: A gear transmission for aeronautical applications including an input shaft rotating about an axis, an output shaft rotating about the axis, and a transfer group for transferring the torque from the input shaft to the output shaft. The transfer group includes a first torque splitting stage, receiving the torque from the input shaft, and a second torque splitting stage, receiving the torque from the first stage. The first stage presents at least one first rotating member and the second stage presents at least one second rotating member. The input shaft and the first rotating member cooperate with one another at respective interaction surfaces. The rotating members cooperate with one another at respective friction surfaces. One of the interaction surfaces has first engagement elements, and another of the interaction surfaces has second engagement elements that are clutch coupled to one another.
