  • Alignment of static parts in a gas turbine engine
    Patent number: 9097142
    Abstract: A first structural static component having an outer diameter is aligned with a second structural static component having an inner diameter to the centerline of a gas turbine engine rotating assembly. The first static component is centered inside the second static component leaving a gap between the outer diameter of the first component and the inner diameter of the second component to permit them to mate at operating temperatures. Tabs and slots are placed on the periphery of the static components to align the static components with the centerline at build temperature.
    Type: Grant
