    Abstract: An actuation structure changes the orientation of a vane airfoil. A spindle is fixed to the airfoil such that when the arm turns the spindle, the spindle turns the airfoil, the spindle extends through a bore in the housing. A mount is between the spindle and the housing at the bore, with a metal wear sleeve pressed into the housing at the bore, such that it is part of the housing. A bushing is secured to an outer periphery of the spindle such that a bearing surface during rotation of the spindle is provided by an outer periphery of the bushing and an inner periphery of the metal wear sleeve. A seal is radially outward of the bushing with the seal providing an air seal between the spindle and the bore. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

    Abstract: An anti-vortex tube (AVT) retaining ring and bore basket is provided and includes a unitary body having an inboard portion, an outboard portion and an intermediate portion. The inboard portion includes a first ring-shaped body with an outer diameter. The outboard portion is configured to support an array of AVTs and includes a second ring-shaped body with an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the first ring-shaped body. The intermediate portion includes a flange extending between the outer and inner diameters of the first and second ring-shaped bodies, respectively.
