Abstract:
A system for changing the pitch of blades of at least one turbomachine rotor is provided. The system generally includes a control means acting on a connecting mechanism connected to the blades of the rotor and having a body mobile in translation along a longitudinal axis with respect to a fixed body, load-transfer bearing mounted on the mobile body cooperating with the connecting mechanism, and means for lubricating the bearing having a lubricant duct and extending radially above the fixed and mobile bodies. The duct generally includes first and second telescopic tubular parts that slide coaxially with respect to one another, the first part connected to the fixed body and the second part connected to the mobile body, and means for spraying lubricant into the bearing mounted on the mobile body and lubricant supply conduit mounted on the mobile body to connect the duct to the spraying means.
