    Abstract: Labyrinth seal system includes stationary component and rotatable component, where one of the stationary and rotatable components includes teeth. The labyrinth seal system further includes abradable component coupled to surface of other of the stationary and rotatable components and disposed facing the teeth. The abradable component includes a plurality of honeycomb cells disposed adjacent to each other along axial direction and circumferential direction. Each honeycomb cell includes a plurality of radial sidewalls, where each radial sidewall includes first portion and second portion. The first portion is coupled to the surface and the second portion extends from the first portion towards clearance defined between the stationary and rotatable components. The second portion is bent relative to radial axis of the labyrinth seal system.
