ACCESSORY AND COMPONENT DRIVES GEARBOX

HOUSING SECTION − DESCRIPTION−00

Task 72−60−00−990−003:

1. Accessory and Component Drives Gearbox Assembly

R See Figure 1 and Figure 2.

R A. General

R (1) The accessory and component drives gearbox assembly

R (accessory drives gearbox) consists of the gearbox
R housing, the gearbox rear housing, and the internal
R gears and shaftgears.

R (2) The gearbox assembly is mounted beneath the engine,

R secured to the fan discharge intermediate case flanges
R and, at the front, to Flange E. Power is supplied to
R the gearbox from a bevel gear splined to the front of
R the rear compressor drive turbine rotor shaft.

R (3) An oil pump assembly is located in the bottom of the

R gearbox, left of center, and contains both pressure and
R scavenge sections. The gearbox incorporates pinned
R carburized bearing liners except for the tower shaft
R drive gear roller bearings liners which are retained by
R bolts.

R B. Gearbox Drive Ratios

R (1) Refer to Figure 2 for a schematic of the gearbox

R internal drives. The rear compressor drive of the
R engine (N2) drives the accessory section through the
R towershaft as shown. The numbers of gear teeth are
R shown, as is the ratio of each drive in relation to N2.

Task 72−60−00−990−004:

2. Gearbox Protective Coating

A. Gearbox assemblies are painted in two ways. Early models

are painted with gray lacquer; subsequent models are sprayed
with the recommended aluminized epoxy paint, silver in
color.

Task 72−60−00−990−005:

3. Accessory and Components Drives Gearbox Rear Housing

A. On the rear face of the gearbox rear housing there is

a starter drive pad on the left, a 10 inch constant speed
drive (CSD) and alternator drive pad in the center, and a
hydraulic pump drive pad on the right. On the right end of
the gearbox housing is a standard four stud pad for the N2
tachometer drive.

B. Near the bottom of the housing, to the left of the oil pump,
is an oil pressure relief valve. The main oil strainer is
located to the left of the oil pressure relief valve. An
oil strainer bypass valve is located in the center of the
main oil strainer assembly. An integral boss is provided on
the side of the main oil strainer boss to accommodate the
airframe manufacturer's oil filter bypass pressure warning
switch.

C. Mounted on the starter drive gearshaft are two rotary

R breather impellers, used to separate oil from air. See
R Figure 3. A replaceable spline adapter is splined inside
the starter drive gearshaft and held in place with a locknut
and anchor bolt. The constant speed drive incorporates a
replaceable splined coupling inside the gearshaft.

Task 72−60−00−990−006:

4. Accessory and Component Drives Gearbox Front (Cover) Housing

A. The engine fuel pump mounts on a six studded circular pad on

the right front face of the main gearbox cover and the fuel
control mounts on the front of the fuel pump. The oil tank
mounts on the left front face of the gearbox front housing.

Task 72−60−00−990−007:

5. Power Lever Cross Shafts and Linkage

A. A power lever outer cross shaft assembly, which is hollow

and has an inner shaft running through it, is mounted in
bushings at the top of the gearbox housing cover. The fuel
control power linkage arm is secured on the outer shaft at
the right and, further outboard, the fuel control shutoff
arm is held securely on the inner shaft. A stop and locking
plate are mounted on the housing. The airframe control arms
or pulleys may be mounted on either end of the cross shafts.
