Abstract
A baffle assembly for interacting with a lubricating fluid around a rotor in an aircraft power plant is disclosed. The baffle assembly may mitigate misting of lubricating fluid inside a gearbox and improve the effectiveness of the lubricating fluid. The baffle assembly includes a first sidewall configured to be fastened to a first structure disposed to a first side of the rotor, a second sidewall configured to be fastened to a second structure disposed to a second side of the rotor axially opposite the first side of the rotor, and a baffle. The baffle is supported by and extends between the first sidewall and the second sidewall so that the baffle is disposed at a position adjacent to and radially outwardly of the rotor during use. A vibration damper engaged with the baffle to dampen a vibration of the baffle during use.
