Abstract: An assembly is provided for rotational equipment. This rotational equipment assembly includes a plurality of seal shoes, a seal base, a plurality of spring elements and a secondary seal assembly. The seal shoes are arranged circumferentially about an axial centerline in an annular array. The seal shoes include a first seal shoe. The seal base circumscribes the annular array. The spring elements include a first spring element. The first spring element connects and extends between the first seal shoe and the seal base. The secondary seal assembly is configured to seal a gap between the seal base and the seal shoes. An axial end portion of the first seal shoe projects axially along the axial centerline, in a direction away from the first spring element, beyond the secondary seal assembly.

Abstract: An airfoil includes pressure and suction sides that extend between a leading edge and a trailing edge. The airfoil has a camber line along an airfoil section that is equidistant between the exterior surface of the pressure and suction sides. The camber line extends from a 0% camber position at the leading edge to a 100% camber position at the trailing edge. A ratio of a maximum thickness to an axial chord length is between 0.2 and 0.5. The maximum thickness is located along the camber line between about 13% and 38% camber position.

Abstract: An assembly is provided for rotational equipment. This assembly includes a plurality of seal shoes, a seal base and a spring system. The seal shoes are arranged about a centerline in an annular array. The seal shoes include a first seal shoe. The seal base circumscribes the seal shoes. The spring system connects the seal shoes to the seal base. The spring system includes a first spring element and a second spring element. The first spring element extends axially along the centerline in a first axial direction from the seal base to the first seal shoe. The second spring element extends axially along the centerline in a second axial direction from the seal base to the first seal shoe. The second axial direction is opposite the first axial direction.

Abstract: A hydrostatic seal configured to be disposed between relatively rotatable components is provided. The seal includes a seal housing. The seal also includes a shoe having a first axially extending segment, a second axially extending segment, and a radially extending segment joining the first and second axially extending segments, the shoe cantilevered to the seal housing.

Abstract: An assembly is provided for rotational equipment. This assembly includes a plurality of seal shoes, a seal base and a plurality of spring elements. The seal shoes are arranged about a centerline in an annular array. The seal shoes include a first seal shoe configured with an aperture that extends radially through the first seal shoe. The seal base circumscribes the annular array of seal shoes. The spring elements include a first spring element. The first spring element includes a first mount, a second mount and a spring beam. The first mount is connected to the first seal shoe. The second mount is connected to the seal base. The spring beam extends laterally between and is connected to the first mount and the second mount.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine component includes an outer diameter endwall, an inner diameter endwall spaced radially inward of the outer diameter endwall, and at least one body supported between the outer and inner endwalls for rotation about an axis. The body includes an outer diameter surface spaced from the outer diameter endwall by a first gap and an inner diameter surface spaced from the inner diameter endwall by a second gap. The outer and inner diameter surfaces and the outer and inner diameter endwalls are configured such that the first and second gaps remain generally constant in size as the body rotates about the axis.

Abstract: A bearing assembly according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a bearing situated in a bearing compartment, a seal assembly that defines the bearing compartment, at least one deflector between the bearing and the seal assembly that is rotatable about an axis, and a coalescer at least partially extending about the at least one deflector to define a fluid passage. A method of sealing is also disclosed.

Abstract: A hydrostatic seal configured to be disposed between relatively rotatable components is provided. The seal includes a seal housing.
