Abstract: There is disclosed an axial flow machine (10) comprising an annular flow path (23); a stator ring (38) comprising a plurality of stators mounted at their radially outer ends and extending into the annular flow path (23); a non-rotating body (24) axially adjacent the stator ring (38); and an annular shroud (42) disposed between the radially inner end of the stator ring (38) and the body (24). The shroud (42) is supported on the stator ring (38) and moveable relative the body (24); and the shroud (42) cooperates with the body (24) to inhibit a flow through a clearance pathway (78) therebetween.

Abstract: An assembly for rotational equipment includes a plurality of seal shoes, a seal base, a plurality of spring elements and a frangible element. The seal shoes are arranged around an axis in an annular array. The seal base circumscribes the annular array of the seal shoes. Each of the spring elements is radially between and connects a respective one of the seal shoes and the seal base. A first of the spring elements includes a first mount, a second mount and a spring beam. The first mount is connected to a first of the seal shoes. The second mount is connected to the seal base. The spring beam extends longitudinally between and connects the first mount and the second mount. The frangible element is configured to restrict radial outward movement of the first of the seal shoes.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a gas turbine engine including a turbine rotor, a turbine frame at least partially surrounding the turbine rotor, and an outer diameter seal assembly. The turbine rotor includes an inner shroud, an outer shroud, and at least one connecting airfoil coupling the inner shroud and the outer shroud. The outer shroud includes a plurality of outer shroud airfoils extended inward along a radial direction. The outer diameter seal assembly includes a sliding portion disposed between the turbine frame and the outer shroud of the turbine rotor. The outer diameter seal assembly defines a secondary tooth at the outer shroud radially inward of a longitudinal face of the sliding portion, and a primary tooth defined axially adjacent to a radial face of the sliding portion.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a rotating stage of blades. A circumferential array of blade outer air seal segments are arranged radially outward of the blades. Adjacent blade outer air seal segments provide a circumferential gap. Facing ends of the adjacent blade outer air seal segments include surfaces. A gap seal engages the surfaces and obstructs the circumferential gap. A biasing member is configured to urge the gap seal radially inward toward the surfaces.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a blade track, a support assembly, and a seal system. The blade track is arranged around a central axis of the gas turbine engine to direct gasses through the gas turbine engine. The support assembly is arranged around the blade track to support the blade track relative to the central axis. The seal system is configured to block fluid communication between pressurized cavities formed in the support assembly.
