A system including a gearbox and a hydraulic machine connected by a working fluid circuit. The gearbox including a gearbox housing having first and second gearbox fluid passages integrated into the gearbox housing. The hydraulic machine including a case having first and second hydraulic machine fluid passages, the first and second hydraulic machine fluid passages being integrated into the case. A set of rotating elements enclosed within the case. The first gearbox fluid passage and the first hydraulic machine fluid passage align to form a feed passage to conduct fluid at a first pressure from a first source to the set of rotating elements. The second gearbox fluid passage and the second hydraulic machine fluid passage align to form a charge passage to conduct fluid at a second pressure from a second source to the set of rotating elements. The first pressure being less than the second pressure.
A system, the system comprising:
A hydraulic variator for a power split transmission, the variator comprising:
A hydraulic circuit for a power split transmission of a work machine, the hydraulic circuit comprising:
