Two-Speed Rotorcraft Research Transmission Power-Loss Associated with the Lubrication and Hydraulic Rotating Feed-Through Design Feature
Authors / Details: Mark A. Stevens, NASA Glenn Research Center; Mark J. Valco, Kelsen E. LaBerge, Army Research LaboratoryAbstract
An investigation was completed into the power loss associated with a rotating feed-through (RFT) design feature used to transfer lubrication and a hydraulic control signal from the static reference frame to a rotating reference frame in the NASA GRC two-speed transmission tests conducted in the Variable-Speed Drive Test Rig. The RFT feature, not commercially available, was created specifically for this research project and is integral to all two-speed transmission configurations tested, as well as a variant concept design for a geared variable-speed transmission presented at AHS Forum 71 in 2015. The experimental set-up and results from measurements in the isolated rotating-feed-through (RFT) experiments are presented. Results were used in an overall power loss assessment for a scaled conceptual 1,000 horsepower inline concentric two-speed transmission to support a NASA Revolutionary Vertical Lift Technologies (RVLT) Technical Challenge, demonstrating 50% speed change with less than 2% power loss while maintaining current power-to-weight ratios.
