  • Patent number: 5224825
    Abstract: A locator pin retention device comprises a pin with threaded and smooth portions cooperating with a bushing having spaced apart threaded and smooth portions to allow alignment of inner and outer gas turbine engine members exposed to different thermal environments, allowing thermal growth of the inner member in a radially outward direction toward the outer member and reacting axial and circumferential loads to prevent transverse movement to the outer structural member. The device reduces machining of the structural members because machined retention means are inexpensive and replaceable parts.
