    Abstract: A seal assembly for a rotary machine is provided. The seal assembly includes a plurality of seal segments disposed circumferentially intermediate to a stationary housing and a rotor, where each of the plurality of seal segments includes a stator interface element and a shoe plate movably supported by the stator interface element. The shoe plate includes one or more labyrinth teeth, a load-bearing surface, and one or more supply ports for facilitating supply of high pressure fluid toward the rotor. In one embodiment, the shoe plate also includes a radially extending portion that is in contact with a portion of the ring movably supported into the stator interface element. In another embodiment, each of the plurality of seal segments includes a plurality of overlapping spring-loaded leaf seal plates in contact with the stator interface element and the radially extending portion. Method of operating the seal segment is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A bearing cage for a roller bearing assembly includes an annular body defining a circumferential centerline extending therethrough. The annular body includes an outer circumferential surface, an opposing inner circumferential surface, and a plurality of circumferentially spaced roller cavities defined therein. Each roller cavity of the plurality of roller cavities is configured to receive an associated roller element. Each roller cavity includes a first radial cross-wall defined within the annular body extending from the outer circumferential surface to the inner circumferential surface. Each roller cavity further includes an opposing second radial cross-wall defined within the annular body extending from the outer circumferential surface to the inner circumferential surface. At least a portion of the first radial cross-wall and at least a portion of the second radial cross-wall are complimentary to the associated roller element.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an oil-free gas turbine engine. The gas turbine engine includes a compressor section, a combustion section, a turbine section, and an exhaust nozzle section. Further, the gas turbine engine includes at least one rotary component configured to drivingly connect at least a portion of the turbine section to at least a portion of the compressor section. Moreover, the gas turbine engine includes one or more gas-lubricated bearings configured to support the rotary component. In addition, the gas turbine engine includes a direct-drive starter-generator configured to start the gas turbine engine. Thus, the gas turbine engine of the present disclosure provides an engine that is at least partially oil free.
