Abstract: An air turbine starter with a housing; a turbine member located within the housing; a drive shaft operably coupled to the turbine member, and having an interior portion. The air turbine starter output shaft extending between a first end and a second end, the output shaft movable between a first position, where the first end is coupled to the engine, and a second position, where the second end is retained within the interior portion and the first end is uncoupled from the engine. A decoupler assembly is included for decoupling the output shaft from the engine.

Abstract: An air turbine starter (ATS) for starting an engine, having a stator including a housing having an inlet, an outlet, and a flow path extending between the inlet and the outlet and a rotor including a turbine member defining a rotating axis and having a set of blades at least partially disposed within the flow path. The ATS further including a bearing support structure disposed between the rotor and the stator comprising a first bearing support having a first stiffness (K1) and a second bearing support having a second stiffness (K2).

Abstract: An air turbine starter (ATS) for a gas turbine engine having an accessory gear box (AGB) with a lubricant reservoir, the air turbine starter comprising a housing at least partially defining a working air flow path; a turbine section comprising a turbine having an output shaft and a plurality of blades circumferential spaced about the output shaft and at least partially extending into the working air flow path; a drive section having a drive shaft operably coupled to the output shaft to engage the AGB; and a lubrication recirculation circuit fluidly coupled to the lubricant reservoir.

Abstract: A fluid passage assembly and method for manufacturing a fluid passage assembly for a power generator. The fluid passage assembly includes a manifold body having an inlet conduit for receiving a fluid, and at least one distribution conduit fluidly coupled to the inlet conduit for dispensing the fluid to cool the power generator, wherein a cross-section of the at least one distribution conduit is includes at least one corner.

Abstract: A heat-carrying component can include an outer casing bounding an interior, where a conduit can be located within the interior. A support structure can also be located within the interior and support the conduit. In addition, the support structure can include at least two thermally-conductive support members supporting the conduit.

Abstract: Provided is an annular matching device indulging a spherical bearing including an inner surface, and an exterior surface movably attached to the inner surface, the inner and exterior surfaces including a bore. Also included is a fastener configured to extend through a first workpiece and through the bore. The spherical bearing is configured to be placed in a second workpiece; and the second workpiece is configured to be moved adjacent to the first workpiece via an engager.
