Scoop assembly for rotational equipment

An assembly for rotational equipment, the assembly comprising:

• an engine static structure;
• a rotatable base structure configured to rotate about a rotational axis relative to the engine static structure;
• a scoop ring mounted to the rotatable base structure, the scoop ring configured with a passage and including a scoop ring body and an insert, the passage extending through the scoop ring from an inlet at an outer radial side of the scoop ring to an outlet at an inner radial side of the scoop ring, the passage partially formed by the insert, the scoop ring body comprising a body material, and the insert comprising an insert material which is different than the body material;
• and
• a lubricant injector positioned radially outside of the scoop ring, the lubricant injector configured to direct lubricant against the scoop ring at the outer radial side.

A method for directing lubricant to a rotatable base structure of a gas turbine engine, the method comprising:

• directing a lubricant stream of the lubricant from a lubricant injector toward a scoop ring, the scoop ring including a scoop ring body and an insert, the scoop ring body comprising a body material, the insert comprising an insert material, the insert material different than the body material, the scoop ring including a passage through the scoop ring body, the scoop ring body and the insert forming the passage;
• rotating the scoop ring such that a cutting edge of the insert passes through the lubricant stream and the insert directs at least some of the lubricant from the lubricant stream into the passage;
• and
• directing the lubricant through the passage to the rotatable base structure.
