Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for a lubricant distribution assembly comprising a rotating component with a recessed circumferentially surrounded by a radially outer section, the radially inners side of which forms a surface of an undercut groove. The lubricant distribution assembly further includes a lubricant sump separated from the rotating component by a wall, a hollow tube that delivers lubricant from the lubricant sump to the lubricant distribution assembly and a lubricant deflector positioned within an upper portion of the lubricant distribution assembly and which lies in a plane that is parallel to a first axial side of the rotating component.
