Abstract:
A bearing system for a gas turbine engine includes an outer housing and a first ball bearing assembly disposed radially inward from the outer housing relative a center axis of the outer housing. The bearing system also includes a second ball bearing assembly disposed radially inward from the outer housing and positioned axially aft of the first ball bearing assembly. The bearing system also includes a resilient member that is connected to the outer housing and compressed against at least one of a first outer race of the first ball bearing assembly and a second outer race of the second ball bearing assembly in an axial direction parallel to the center axis.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates generally to a guide vane assembly including a first airfoil, including a first airfoil trailing edge, a second airfoil, including a second airfoil leading edge, positioned aft the first airfoil to create a gap therebetween, and a seal assembly disposed within the gap to engage the first airfoil trailing edge and the second airfoil leading edge.
Abstract:
One embodiment of the seal housing for a face seal described herein include a base with a seal element support and a shroud both extending from the base in a common direction. The seal element support and the base define a space for receiving a seal element. The shroud includes a tip having a head portion that tapers toward a neck portion that is reduced in size relative to the head portion. The tip is secured to a stem of the shroud through a set of circumferentially distributed countersunk holes.
