    摘要: An assembly, for example in a gas turbine engine, includes a rotatable component supported by a bearing in a support structure. A sealing arrangement includes a non-rotating sealing ring which makes sealing contact with sealing features on the rotatable component. The non-rotating sealing ring is radially displaceable with respect to the support structure by means of ribs which engage axially facing support faces of the support structure. The non-rotating sealing ring is radially located by an outer, non-rotating, race of the bearing, by means of a locating surface on a locating body of the non-rotating sealing ring. As a result of this arrangement, the running clearance at the sealing arrangement can be maintained, despite radial displacement of the rotatable component with respect to the support structure, and despite thermal and mechanical deflections of the support structure.

    摘要: A control mechanism is provided for moving at least two components of a gas turbine engine. The control mechanism comprises a movable actuation rod and a first linkage arrangement which includes a first bell crank connecting the actuation rod to a first component. Movement of the actuation rod produces an output motion of the first bell crank which in turn drives movement of the first component. The control mechanism further comprises a second linkage arrangement which includes a second bell crank connecting the actuation rod to a second component. Movement of the actuation rod produces an output motion of the second bell crank which in turn drives movement of the second component. The first and the second linkage arrangements are configure so that over a predetermined range of movement of the actuation rod the first component is moved which the second component is not moved.

    摘要: In order to accommodate loading in a number of situations such as with regard to thrusts in a gas turbine engine it is known to provide thrust bearings. These thrust bearings can be large and may be difficult to accommodate. By providing a duplex or multiplex thrust bearing which may be of increased axial length but reduced radial width easier accommodation may be achieved. By providing a thrust element 27 which compromises a balance beam from which extend elastic hinges to a mounting to a fixed bearing frame and ends of bearing races 21, 22 an appropriate thrust response can be achieved dependent upon bearing loads presented through bearing elements 23, 24. By rotation of the balance beam and flexing of the elastic hinges 30, 31, 32 an appropriate bearing load share is achieved.

    摘要: A duct wall of a fan casing of a gas turbine engine comprises an intake section and a containment casing, which are interconnected by bolts at flanges. An acoustic flutter damper is provided between the flanges to reduce or eliminate flutter arising in blades of the fan at certain important operating conditions. The damper provides flexibility at the connection between the intake section and the containment casing so that, in the event of detachment of a blade or a bladed fragment, the resulting deflection wave in the containment casing can be accommodated by displacement and/or deformation of the acoustic flutter damper, reducing the risk that the bolts will shear to allow the intake section and the containment casing to become detached from each other. The acoustic flutter damper may comprise a circumferential array of separate segments.

    摘要: A static structure is provided such as that used as an engine structure 30 within a gas turbine engine. A structure 30 comprises a hub or core 33 with a concentric ring or casing 32. The hub 33 and casing 32 are secured together through spoke or vane elements 31 which are sloped axially and tangentially relative to a principal axis X-X. In such circumstances any roll torque reaction caused by differentially rotating hub and ring motions is retained by the tangential inclination of the spokes or vanes whilst axial sloping of these spokes or vanes 31 and axially sloping of the struts 34 creates bracing in the direction of the principal axis X-X. In such circumstances essentially robust triangles are formed radially and longitudinally respectively each comprising spokes or vanes 31 and struts 34 secured at axially spaced locations on the hub or core 33.

    摘要: A mounting for connecting a turbofan gas turbine engine to an aircraft structure comprises three mounting points at the vertices of a triangle on the aircraft structure and three mounting points on the fan casing of the turbofan gas turbine engine. The first mounting point on the aircraft structure is connected to all of the three mounting points on the fan casing by three links. The second mounting point on the aircraft structure is connected to the second mounting point and the third mounting point on the fan casing by two links. The third mounting point on the aircraft structure is connected to the second mounting point and the third mounting point by two links. The links provide an open spaceframe which defines the structure of a pylon. The mounting has reduced weight compared to conventional mountings and is cheaper to manufacture.

    摘要: A mounting system for mounting a blade to a rotor body includes a pitch control mechanism including an anchor and a pitch change rod extending radially outwardly from the anchor to join to a base of the blade. The anchor and the rod are rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the rod to vary the blade pitch. The pitch control mechanism further includes a torque-transmitting formation between the blade and the anchor such that pitch-varying torque can be transmitted to the blade through the torque-transmitting formation while allowing relative radial movement between the blade and the anchor. The system includes a primary bearing formation, which transmits blade centrifugal loads to the rotor body while accommodating variation of the blade pitch, and secondary bearing formation, which transmits pitch change mechanism centrifugal loads to the rotor body while accommodating rotation of the anchor and the rod during variation of the blade pitch.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine fan casing duct wall comprises an intake section and a containment casing, provided respectively with flanges. An acoustic flutter damper is secured between the flanges. The acoustic flutter damper has a skin accommodating an internal structure that dampens fan blade flutter. The skin is secured to the flanges at separate locations. In normal operation of the engine, the internal structure is sufficiently robust to support loads transmitted through the acoustic flutter damper between the intake section and the containment casing. If a blade or blade fragment detaches, the resulting deflection wave in the containment case ruptures the internal structure, and the load path between the intake section and the containment casing passes along the skin, which consequently maintains the connection between the intake duct and the containment casing, while permitting substantial radial deflection of the containment casing relative to the intake section.
