The S92 gear box uses big roller bearing sets for the inputs. Very hardy and virtually identical to (but larger than) the Black Hawk.

These are not like the older technology sleeve kind like the S-61, which need lots of oil to keep whole, and if not supplied, can fail in a few minutes, thus the aux lube system needs of the S-61.
