Abstract: A torque extraction system for a turbine engine includes an electric machine coupled to a shaft of the turbine engine by way of a gearbox disposed between the electric machine and the shaft of the turbine engine, and the electric machine draws torque from the shaft and converts the torque to electrical energy. A power bus is electrically coupled to the electric machine and provides power to the electric machine. A sensor senses vibrational forces acting on a rotor of the turbine engine, and a controller electrically coupled to the electric machine receives signals from the sensor corresponding to the sensed vibrational forces. The controller operates the gearbox disposed between the electric machine and the shaft of the turbine engine to increase the torque that the electric machine draws from the shaft when the vibrational forces sensed by the sensor meet or exceed a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A rotary machine, such as a turbomachine of a gas turbine engine, for example, including a rotor and a rotor seal assembly. The rotor is rotatable about a rotational axis and has a rotor seal face. The rotor seal assembly includes a seal body, one or more primary fluid conduits formed in the seal body, and a retraction assembly. The seal body has a seal face and is positionable to form a fluid-bearing gap between the seal face of the seal body and the rotor seal face. The one or more primary fluid conduits are fluidly connected to the fluid-bearing gap to supply a fluid to the fluid-bearing gap. The retraction assembly is connected to the seal body to move the seal body in a retraction direction away from the rotor seal face.
