  • ACTUATION SYSTEM WITH SPHERICAL PLAIN BEARING
    Publication number: 20220372890
    Abstract: In the compressor of a gas turbine engine, variable guide vanes are adjusted by virtue of connections to an actuation ring that can be rotated within a fixed range of degrees. The connections between the guide vanes and the actuation ring can undergo significant torsional stress. Accordingly, an actuation system is disclosed for reducing the torsional stress experienced by the actuation connections.
