TM 1-1520-240-102-7-1SECTION VII. POWER TRAIN SYSTEM2-7-1. General.Engine power is supplied to the rotors through a mechan-ical transmission system (fig, FO-1). This system con-sists of a forward , a combining (mix), an aft, two enginetransmission, and drive shafting. An overrunning spragclutch is installed in each engine transmission. Theclutch provides a positive drive connection to transmitpower and permits freewheeling of both rotors when in anactual autorotation or during a simulated power failure.Because of the freewheeling feature, no drag will beplaced on the rotors if an engine (or engines) fails.Power from the engine transmission is transmittedthrough separate drive shafts to the combining (mix)transmission. The combining (mix) transmission com-bines the power of the engines and transmits it at re-duced shaft speed to the forward and aft transmissions.Further speed reductions occurs within the rotor trans-mission.Two AC generators, the No. 2 flight control hydraulicpump, and the utility system pump are mounted on anddriven by the aft transmission. The No. 1 flight controlhydraulic pump is mounted on and driven by the forwardtransmission.2-7-2. Transmission Lubrication Systems.The forward, aft, and combining (mix) transmissionshave independent main and auxiliary lubrication systemswhich operate concurrently. Each transmission has afilter with an impending bypass indicator. If the differentialpressure across the filter exceeds 15 to 18 psi, the by-pass indicator will extend to indicate a partially cloggedfilter. When the differential pressure reaches 25 to 30 psi,lubrication oil will bypass the filter. Refer to table 2-15-1for transmission oil system capacities, oil specifications,and servicing procedures.2-7-3. Forward Transmission.The forward transmission lubricating system supplieslubricating oil to the gears and bearings in the forwardtransmission. Main system oil flows from the sump,through the main oil pump, oil filter, cooler, and a jetprotection screen to jets from which the oil is dischargedto the various gears and bearings. Auxiliary system oilflows from the auxiliary sump through the auxiliary oilpump, and the auxiliary system filter to separate auxiliaryoil jets. An oil cooler mounted on the aft end of the trans-mission around the input pinion cools mains system oil.Air is forced through the cooler by a transmission-drivenfan.2-7-4. Aft Transmission.The aft transmission lubricating system supplies lubricat-ing oil to the various gears and bearings in the aft trans-mission and to the aft rotor shaft bearing. In addition, themain lubrication system circulates cooling oil through thetwo AC generators on the aft transmission. Transmissionoil flows from the sump through the main lube pump,main filter, cooler, and the jet protection screen to jetswhere the oil is sprayed onto the various gears and bea-rings. In addition, after the oil leaves the jet protectionscreen, alternate paths routes some of the lubricating oilto the aft shaft bearing and cooling oil to the generators.Auxiliary system oil flows from the auxiliary sump throughthrough the auxiliary pump and filter to the various gearsand bearings. The auxiliary system does not lubricate theaft shaft bearing or the generators. An oil cooler mountedon the aft end of the transmission cools main system oil.Cooling air is drawn through the cooler by a transmis-sion-driven fan.2-7-5. Combining and Engine Transmission Lu-brication Systems.The combining (mix) transmission contains the oil reser-voirs to supply lubrication oil to the various gears andbearings in the combining (mix) transmission, No.1 en-gine transmission, and the no. 2 engine transmission.Two lubricating pump assemblies with four elementseach are within the combining (mix) transmission: left-pump assemblies provides main lubrication to the com-bining (mix) transmission and the no. 1 engine transmis-sion. The right pump assembly provides auxiliarylubrication to the combining (mix) transmission and lubri-cates the No. 2 engine transmission. Each pump assem-bly contains two pumping elements and two scavengeelements.Combining transmission main lubrication oil flows fromthe combining (mix) transmission oil reservoir throughthe left pump assembly, filter, cooler, jet protectionscreen, and to the jets which spray the oil onto the vari-ous gears and bearings. One of the scavenge elementsof the left pump assembly returns the oil from the combin-ing (mix) transmission sump to the combining (mix)transmission oil reservoir. The auxiliary lubrication oilflows from the combining (mix) transmission auxiliary oilreservoir to the right pump assembly, auxiliary lubricationfilter, and to the jets which spray the oil on the variousgears and bearings. One of the scavenge elements of theright pump assembly returns the oil from the combining(mix) transmission sump to the combining (mix) trans-mission oil reservoir. the right pump assembly does notroute oil through a cooler.No. 1 engine transmission oil flows from the No. 1 enginetransmission oil reservoir on the combining (mix) trans-mission through the left pump assembly, filter, cooler, jetprotection screen, and to the jets which spray the oil onto the various gears and bearings. One of the scavengeelements of the left pump assembly returns the oil fromNo. 1 engine transmission sump through a debris indicat-ing screen and back to the No. 1 engine transmission oilreservoir. No. 2 engine transmission oil flows from the
