Abstract: A gas turbine engine turbine section has tie rod assemblies interconnecting an inner diameter structure and an outer casing. Each tie rod has: an inner diameter end; an outer diameter end; and an eyelet of an outer diameter spherical bearing formed at the outer diameter end. A first clevis carries a spherical ball of the bearing, a shank of said clevis extending to an outer diameter (OD) end. A tensioning bolt is mated to a threaded opening in said clevis OD end whereby tightening said bolt applies a tension to said rod. A radial span between a center of the outer diameter spherical bearing and an inner diameter surface of the outer casing is at least 50% greater than that between an outer diameter (OD) surface of the outer ring and the center.

Abstract: A system for modulating air flow in a gas turbine engine is provided. The system may include a seal wall comprising an opening, a seal door configured to slideably engage the seal wall, and an actuator configured to move the seal door over the opening. In various embodiments, the system may include a surface forward of the seal door. The seal door may be configured to seal a passage through the surface and the opening of the seal wall. A track may be disposed under the seal door. The track may comprise cobalt. Rollers may be coupled to the seal door with the rollers on the track. The seal door may comprise a nickel-chromium alloy. A sync ring may be coupled to the seal door. The actuator may be coupled through the sync ring to the seal door.

Abstract: A blocker door assembly which may be for a cooling system that may be applied to a gas turbine engine includes a plurality of blocker doors circumferentially spaced about an engine axis. Each blocker door is constructed and arranged to move in a circumferential direction to, at least in-part, control air flow through a passage in an adjacent fixture. A sync-ring is concentrically located about the engine axis, disposed in an annular first duct in direct communication with each passage, and engaged to each one of the plurality of blocker doors for simultaneous operation. The sync-ring is aero-dynamically shaped to reduce surrounding airflow resistance.
