A turbine engine defines an axial direction and a radial direction and includes a shaft assembly, a fan or propeller assembly, an engine core, a coupling shaft, a spacer, a sleeve, and a nut The coupling shaft defines an annular surface extended along the axial direction and a groove extended in a circumferential direction. The spacer defines a first portion disposed in the groove of the coupling shaft. The sleeve defines a threaded portion that extends along the axial direction and is disposed outward of the spacer in the radial direction. The nut defines a plurality of nut threads configured to mate with the plurality of sleeve threads of the sleeve. The nut defines a radial portion adjacent to at least a portion of the sleeve and at least a portion of the spacer in the axial direction.

A rotor assembly includes a plurality of wheels and a tie bolt that extends through the plurality of wheels and applies a compressive force to the plurality of wheels. The tie bolt includes a first segment with a first stiffness and a second segment with a second stiffness to allow for thermal growth of the plurality of wheels.

An intershaft seal assembly comprises an annular seal ring disposed between a pair of annular runners connected to a hollow outer rotating shaft, and a surface of a co-axial inner rotating shaft. The centrifugal force resulting from rotation of the hollow outer rotating shaft effects engagement of the annular seal ring with the surface of the co-axial inner rotating shaft. The surface may be a radially-inward-facing surface of a retaining arm connected to the co-axial inner rotating shaft.

A turbine engine including a fan shaft driven by a turbine shaft with a rotational speed reduction device. A decoupling element is interposed between the reduction device and the fan shaft which operates to decouple the reduction device and the fan shaft. The reduction device is coupled to the fan shaft by a coupling having trapezoidal teeth of the curvic type which are used during the said decoupling operation. The decoupling element is configured to decouple the reduction device and the fan shaft in response to a predetermined resistive torque, referred to as the decoupling torque, which acts between the fan shaft and the reduction device.

The invention concerns a device for assembling a turbine engine, intended to centre a shaft of a second module relative to a longitudinal axis (X) of a trunnion for a first module, the shaft having to be inserted along said longitudinal axis (X) via one end of the trunnion, wherein it includes a holding ring configured to be fixed around trunnion by tightening in such a way as to have a central axis of holding ring coincide with the longitudinal axis of the trunnion, and a means of measurement, supported by holding ring and configured to measure the position of an outer surface of the shaft along a radial direction relative to the central axis of the ring on a transverse plane (P) offset from holding ring, in such a way as to be located in front of the end of the trunnion when the device is installed on the trunnion. The invention also concerns the assembly formed by the device and a calibration model, along with an assembly procedure that uses same.

A toothed coupling mechanism for an assembly of rotating elements of an aircraft gas turbine engine includes a pair of coupling halves having an axial toothed coupling interface therebetween. Each coupling half has a plurality of splined teeth inter-engaged about an axis for transmitting torque therebetween. A protrusion is located on one of the splined teeth of one of the coupling halves. A splined tooth of the other coupling half comes into contact with the protrusion in a situation of uncoupling of said coupling halves.

The present disclosure is directed to a gas turbine engine assembly having a compressor configured to increase pressure of incoming air, a combustion chamber, at least one turbine coupled to a generator, a torsional damper, and a controller. The combustion chamber is configured to receive a pressurized air stream from the compressor. Further, fuel is injected into the pressurized air in the combustion chamber and ignited so as to raise a temperature and energy level of the pressurized air. The turbine is operatively coupled to the combustion chamber so as to receive combustion products that flow from the combustion chamber. The generator is coupled to the turbine via a shaft. Thus, the torsional damper is configured to dampen torsional oscillations of the generator. Moreover, the controller is configured to provide additional damping control to the generator.

An insert for supplying a fluid within a drive shaft, the insert extending along an axis of rotation and comprising an insert wall having a rigid inner insert wall portion and an elastically deformable outer insert wall portion a reservoir defined by the insert wall for storing a fluid, a nozzle positioned at the first end of the insert wall, and wherein the elastically deformable outer insert wall portion is configured to move between an expanded state, when the fluid is supplied to the reservoir, and an unexpanded state, when rotation of the insert and supply of fluid to the reservoir are ceased, and movement of the elastically deformable outer insert wall portion to the unexpanded state forces the fluid to be discharged through the nozzle.
