Abstract: A shaft and sleeve assembly of a gas turbine engine includes an outer shaft extending about an engine central longitudinal axis and having a radially inner shaft surface. The radially inner shaft surface has a shaft groove define therein. A sleeve is located radially inboard of the radially inner shaft surface. The sleeve includes a sleeve groove defined in a radially outer sleeve surface. The sleeve groove is formed at an axial location between a first axial end and a second axial end of the sleeve. A retaining element is installed in the shaft groove and the sleeve groove to retain the sleeve relative to the outer shaft. The sleeve includes one or more sleeve openings formed therein, and the sleeve groove is aligned with the one or more sleeve openings.

Abstract: A seal system has: a first member; a seal carried by the first member and having a seal face; and a second member rotatable relative to the first member about an axis. The second member has: a seat on a first piece of the second member, the seat having a seat face in sliding sealing engagement with the seal face; and a radially outwardly closed collection channel for collecting centrifuged oil; a second piece encircling and attached to the first piece and having a circumferential array of apertures; and cooperating with the first piece to define a plenum; and a flowpath from the collection channel passing radially outward axially spaced from the seat face to cool the seat face and passing axially away from the seat face in the plenum.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan that has fan blades wherein the fan delivers airflow to a bypass duct. A gearbox is defined along an engine axis. A low spool is arranged aft of the gearbox and coupled to drive the gearbox. A front center body assembly is defined around the engine axis. A flexible support supports the gearbox relative to the front center body assembly. A bearing package is mounted to the front center body assembly and the low spool. A front wall is mounted to the front center body assembly. The front wall is removable from the front center body assembly to access at least one of the gearbox or the bearing package. The low spool includes a low pressure compressor hub that provides an engagement feature for engaging the bearing package.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes, among other things, a fan, a fan drive gear system that is coupled with the fan and a fan drive input shaft, a compressor section that includes a first compressor and a second compressor, and a turbine section. The turbine section includes a first turbine coupled with a first shaft and a second turbine coupled through a second shaft to the second compressor. A bearing supports the fan drive input shaft. The bearing is located proximal to, and radially spaced from, a forward end of the first shaft. The bearing includes a speed sensor target that is rotatable with the forward end and that defines a rotation path. A speed sensor probe is situated proximal to the rotation path and is operable to read the speed sensor target.
