  • Gas turbine shaft pilot system with separate pilot rings
    Patent number: 6406263
    Abstract: A turbine assembly comprising a first rotatable component having a first lip with a first axial facing surface and a second rotatable component having a second lip with a second axial facing surface. The components are held together by an axial load so that the first and second axial surfaces are in frictional contact across a radial plane whereby torque is transmitted between the components. A pilot ring mounted either above or below the radial contact plane maintains the radial position of the two components.
