 ACCESSORY GEARBOX

Provide drive pads for:

 The fuel pump / fuel control unit.

 Starter generator, Oil pressure and scavenge pumps.

 N1 tachometer generator.

 Drive the centrifugal breather impeller that separates air from oil in the accessory
gearbox.
ACCESSORY GEARBOX
 ACCESSORY GEARBOX

Construction:

 Two magnesium casings support the drive gears.

 The casings are bolted to the inlet case.

 The front casing (cover) separates and seals the accessory gearbox from the oil
tank.

 Provide support for the oil filler neck, oil level indicator oil pressure regulating
valve assemblies, oil to fuel heater and chip detector.

 RGB CLUTCH ARRANGEMENT

Purpose:

 To allow the power sections to drive the aircraft main transmission and prevent
the main rotor from driving the engine.

 Without the clutch arrangement, the main rotor any time an auto-rotation is
attempted would drive the engine.

 In addition, any seizure of the engine would prevent the possibility of auto-
rotation.
RGB CLUTCH ARRANGEMENT
 RGB CLUTCH ARRANGEMENT

The clutch arrangement used in the Twin-Pac gearbox is the sprag clutch type. This
clutch allows movement in only one direction.

Purpose:

 To allow the power sections to drive the aircraft main transmission and prevent
the main rotor from driving the engine.

 Without the clutch arrangement, the main rotor any time an auto-rotation is
attempted would drive the engine.

 In addition, any seizure of the engine would prevent the possibility of auto-
rotation.
RGB CLUTCH ARRANGEMENT
 RGB CLUTCH ARRANGEMENT

Operation:

 The sprag assembly is made up of a number of sprags resembling the rollers in a

roller bearing.

 The sprags, unlike the circular bearings, have a figure 8 shape.

 The vertical height of each of these sprags is slightly greater than the gap
between the Inner diameter of the outer race (clutch gear) and the outer diameter
of the inner race (helical gearshaft).
 RGB CLUTCH ARRANGEMENT

Operation:

 A spring loaded cage assembly, towards the engaged position holds them in
position. This engaged position places the sprags against both races at a slight
angle.

 Rotation from the power section(s) on the clutch gear(s) jams the sprags
between the outer and inner races and if this interference fit drives the helical
gearshaft attached to the output shaft.

 If the output shaft attempts to drive the engine, the sprags will be relieved and the
output shaft will rotate without the engine.

 The same would happen in the event of malfunction of one power section. Only a
difference in speed will cause the clutch to disengage.

 CLUTCH GEAR SEALING

Purpose:

 Prevent oil transfer from reduction gearbox to power section oil system.

Description:

 Compressor discharge P3 air for pressurization of clutch carbon seals is taken

from a boss at the 7 o'clock position on the gas generator case.

 From there, P3 air is directed to the check valve, the P3 tee metering orifice and
finally routed inside the reduction gearbox to the internal carbon seals.

P3 Filter (Optional) (SB 5174/SB 5320):

 Operators flying in sand and dirty environment, based on their experience, may
elect to install the optional P3 filter on the RGB. The filter protects the clutch
gear/carbon seal from contamination.

Check Valve (SB 5100):

 Used to prevent the flow of P3 air into the inoperative power section during single
power section operation.

Tee Fitting (Metering Orifice):

 The tee fittings have a calibrated orifice in order to restrict P3 air and send the
proper airflow to the carbon seals.
