A seal includes a ceramic matrix composite ply having woven ceramic-based fibers in a ceramic-based matrix. The ceramic matrix composite ply has at least one bend formed about a bend axis and defines at least one rounded portion. A sealed assembly and a method of making a seal are also disclosed.

The invention relates to a guide vane ring for a turbomachine comprising at least one guide vane, at least one bearing body, and at least two inner ring segments. The guide vane has a bearing journal that is arranged in a in form-fitting manner in a bearing bush of the at least one bearing body. The at least two inner ring segments have on their respective outer radial faces a guide channel running along a circumferential direction of the guide vane ring for receiving the bearing body, into which project at least two opposite-lying guide projections of the inner ring segments, said projections running along the circumferential direction of the guide vane ring. The bearing bodyis arranged in the guide channel of the inner ring segments, and the at least two guide projections of the inner ring segments engage in at least two guide grooves of the bearing body.

A sealing assembly and a turbomachine including the sealing assembly are provided. The sealing assembly includes a sealing body configured to be inserted into an insertion hole of a second component adjacent to a first component, and a sealing protrusion, formed on one circumferential side of the sealing body, protruding toward one circumferential direction from the sealing body and configured to be inserted into a sealing groove formed on the other circumferential side of a sealing body of the first adjacent sealing assembly, the sealing body of the first adjacent sealing assembly being adjacent to the sealing body in a circumferential direction.

A seal segment comprises: a seal body having a plurality of thin-plate seal pieces that extend while being inclined forward in a rotational direction of a rotating shaft as the pieces draw farther inward in a radial direction of the rotating shaft, and that are layered in a circumferential direction of the rotating shaft; a pair of side plates extending in the circumferential direction so as to cover the seal body from both sides with respect to an axial direction of the rotating shaft; and a housing having a housing main body that accommodates the seal body while allowing the seal body to protrude inward in the radial direction, and an extending part that is provided to an end portion of the housing main body in the circumferential direction, and that extends inward in the radial direction along an end surface of the seal body in the circumferential direction.

An internal retaining ring for placement in a bore of an outer component of a rotating assembly comprises a semi-annular body having an outer circumferential surface with a curvature defined about a first center of curvature and radially outward protruding anti-rotation tabs operable for engagement with a corresponding anti-rotation feature of the outer component. An inner circumferential surface of the semi-annular body has radially inward protruding tabs circumferentially spaced apart around the inner circumferential surface. The radially inward protruding tabs have radially inner surfaces concentric with the outer circumferential surface, and recessed portions between the radially inward protruding tabs and having curvatures defined about a second center of curvature, the second center of curvature different from the first center of curvature.

A flow path component assembly includes a flow path component that has a platform that extends from a first circumferential side to a second circumferential side. The platform has a first radius of curvature between the first circumferential side and the second circumferential side. A coating is arranged on a portion of the platform near the first circumferential side. The coating has a second radius of curvature. The second radius of curvature is larger than the first radius of curvature.

A seal assembly for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a first side plate and a backing plate that extend circumferentially about an assembly axis. The backing plate includes a main body and a first set of abutments that extend outwardly from the main body to abut the first side plate. A first set of pockets are established between adjacent abutments of the first set of abutments. A first brush seal is between the first side plate and the backing plate. Sections of the first brush seal received in respective pockets of the first set of pockets are dimensioned to join together to establish a first sealing relationship with a first gas turbine engine component. A method of assembly is also disclosed.

A seal assembly for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a first side plate, a second side plate and a backing plate that extend circumferentially about an assembly axis. A first brush seal and a second brush seal are positioned on opposite sides of the backing plate such that the first brush seal is between the first side plate and the backing plate and such that the second brush seal is between the second side plate and the backing plate. The first brush seal is dimensioned to establish a first sealing relationship with a first gas turbine engine component. The second brush seal is dimensioned to establish a second sealing relationship with a second gas turbine engine component. A method of assembly is also disclosed.

The invention relates to an assembly for an aircraft turbomachine, comprising a central element (1) for the ejection of gas, and a connecting flange (9) interposed between, upstream, a gas outlet (22a) made of metal for a turbomachine, and, at the downstream end, the central element (1). The connecting flange comprises an annular portion (9a) and flexible tabs (11) having axially: a first end (111a) where the tab is connected to the said annular portion, and a second free end (111b), projecting radially inwardly with respect to the first end and to which said tab is attached with the central element (1).

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a slide component that can exhibit sealing performance and lubricity regardless of rotating direction. A pair of slide components 4, 7 that slide relative to each other have sliding faces S that slide relative to each other, and a sealed fluid-side periphery 16 and a leakage-side periphery 15. The sliding face S of at least one slide component 4 of the pair of slide components 4, 7 includes: a fluid introduction groove 13 in communication with the sealed fluid-side periphery 16; a first pressure generation mechanism 12 of which one end is in communication with the fluid introduction groove 13 and the other end is surrounded by a land portion R1; and a second pressure generation mechanism 11 of which one end is in communication with the leakage-side periphery 15 and the other end is surrounded by an annular land portion R2. The fluid introduction groove 13 and the other end 12e of the first pressure generation mechanism 12 include overlapping portions Lp overlapping circumferentially.
