Abstract:
An active clearance control system of a gas turbine engine includes a multiple of blade outer air seal assemblies and a multiple of rotary ramps. Each of the multiple of rotary ramps is associated with one of the multiple of blade outer air seal assemblies. A method of active blade tip clearance control for a gas turbine engine is provided. The method includes rotating a multiple of rotary ramps to control a continuously adjustable radial position for each of a respective multiple of blade outer air seal assemblies.
Abstract:
A method of assembling a gas turbine engine is provided that includes locating a consumable assembly tool within the engine. The consumable assembly tool is attached to another component of the gas turbine engine. The engine is run to vaporize the consumable assembly tool.
Abstract:
An active clearance control system for a gas turbine engine includes an intersegment seal engaged with each pair of a multiple of air seal segments.
Abstract:
An assembly is provided for a turbine engine with an axial centerline. This turbine engine assembly may include a blade outer air seal segment, a linkage and an actuation device. The linkage may include a shaft and a head, where the shaft is connected to the blade outer air seal segment and extends radially outward to the head. The actuation device may include a sloped slide block located radially within and engaged with the head. The actuation device may be configured to laterally translate the sloped slide block and thereby radially move the blade outer air seal segment.
Abstract:
An active clearance control system of a gas turbine engine includes a multiple of blade outer air seal assemblies and a sync ring with a multiple of graduation sets. Each of the graduation sets is associated with one of the multiple of blade outer air seal assemblies. An active clearance control system of a gas turbine engine includes a sync ring with a multiple of graduation sets. Each of the graduation sets includes a multiple of graduations to define an associated radial position for each of a respective multiple of blade outer air seal assemblies.

Abstract:
A blade outer air seal (BOAS) actuator assembly, according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, an actuator member; and a retractor configured to move with the actuator member to move a BOAS segment from a first position to a second position that is radially outside the first position, the BOAS segment seated against a support structure when in the first position and spaced from the support structure when in the second position.
Abstract:
A blade outer air seal for a gas turbine engine includes a first side surface, a second side surface, and a wall. The wall extends between the first side surface and the second side surface and has one or more holes formed therein. The holes are spaced from the first side surface and/or the second side surface and have areas between about 0.005% and 0.450% of a surface area of the blade outer air seal.
