ABSTRACT:
A lubrication system for a gearbox having a forced flow of lubricant around one or more flow loops using dynamic forces imparted to the lubricant by a major element, preferably one primarily serving another function, which acts as a pump and cooperates with the gearbox casing to provide a dynamic reservoir. The primary lubrication flow loop includes an efficient flow diverter to feed a lubricant distribution reservoir, dispensers, predetermined regulated flow paths to critical items and a centrifugal separator built into the pump to deaerate the lubricant.
