    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: 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.
