One or both of the body parts include impingement holes. The insert has an elastic part connected to the body parts. When the elastic part is subjected to deformation, the elastic part is configured to apply a force, on the first and/or the second body parts, in a direction of increasing a separation between the first contact part and the second contact part.

An assembly is provided for rotational equipment. This assembly includes a plurality of seal shoes, a seal base and a plurality of spring elements. The seal shoes are arranged about a centerline in an annular array. The seal shoes include a first seal shoe configured with an aperture that extends radially through the first seal shoe. The seal base circumscribes the annular array of seal shoes. The spring elements include a first spring element. The first spring element includes a first mount, a second mount and a spring beam. The first mount is connected to the first seal shoe. The second mount is connected to the seal base. The spring beam extends laterally between and is connected to the first mount and the second mount.

A sealing structure for a gas turbine includes a turbine rotor disk, a turbine blade coupled the turbine rotor disk, and an interstage disk interposed between adjacent turbine rotor disks. The turbine blade includes a blade circumferential surface protruding axially and extending in a circumferential direction of the turbine rotor disk and mutually engaging with a disk circumferential surface formed circumferentially on the turbine rotor disk. The interstage disk includes a rim portion and a groove formed in the rim portion. A plurality of static ring seals are mounted in the groove, each static ring seal facing toward the blade circumferential surface and the disk circumferential surface. The static ring are configured such that an outer circumferential surface of all the static ring seals contact the blade circumferential surface and the outer circumferential surface of at least one of the static ring seals does not contact the disk circumferential surface.

A sealing apparatus for a gas turbine engine includes: a first component; a second component positioned in proximity to the first component such that cavity is defined between the first and second components; a resilient seal disposed in the cavity so as to block gas flow between the first and second components, the resilient seal having a first contact surface contacting the first component and a second contact surface contacting the second component; and wherein the resilient seal is configured so as to produce a rolling movement in response to relative movement of the first and second components.

An aircraft turbomachine has a longitudinal axis A and includes a reduction gear, at least one turbine shaft, an upstream end of which is connected to an input shaft of a reduction gear, a fan, one shaft of which is connected to an output shaft of the reduction gear, and dynamic sealing means between said reduction gear input shaft and the fan shaft. The sealing means includes an annular cowling, the axial cross-section of which is substantially U-shaped An outer annular leg of the annular cowling is fastened to the fan shaft, and an inner annular leg supports at least one annular sealing joint that cooperates with the reduction gear input shaft. The cowling is elastically deformable in the radial direction in relation to the axis A.

An assembly includes a plurality of seal shoes arranged about an axial centerline in an annular array. The assembly also includes a seal base and a plurality of spring elements. The seal base circumscribes the annular array of the seal shoes. A threaded base aperture extends axially through the seal base. Each of the spring elements is radially between and connects a respective one of the seal shoes with the seal base. The spring elements are formed integral with the seal base and the seal shoes as a unitary body.

A seal segment (11) includes a seal body having a plurality of laminated thin plate seal pieces (20), and a high-pressure side plate (23). The high-pressure side plate (23) includes an outer diameter side edge portion (23b) which is an outer edge portion in the radial direction (Dr) and extends in a circular are shape in the circumferential direction (Dc), an inner diameter side edge portion (23c) which is an inner edge portion in a radial direction (Dr) and extends in a circular arc shape in the circumferential direction (Dc), and a front edge portion (23d) which is an edge portion on a front side in the rotational direction (Bc). The high-pressure side plate (23) further includes a reinforcing portion (40) only in a region of the high-pressure side plate (23) on the front side in the rotational direction (Bc).

A hydrostatic seal assembly includes a seal carrier, a seal shoe located at the seal carrier and configured for travel relative to the seal carrier to maintain a selected gap between the seal shoe and a rotating component, and a travel stop. The travel stop includes a stop rib located at one of the seal carrier or the seal shoe, and a stop groove located at the other of the seal carrier or the seal shoe. The stop rib is positioned at least partially in the stop groove to limit travel of the seal shoe relative to the seal carrier.

A gas turbine engine includes a turbine section including at least one turbine rotor having at least one blade. A blade outer air seal is positioned radially outward of a radially outer tip of the at least one turbine blade. The blade outer air seal has a forward hook and an aft hook. The forward hook is supported on a forward retainer and the aft hook is supported on an aft hook retainer. The aft hook retainer provides structure to prevent rotation of the blade outer air seal relative to the aft hook retainer. There is an interference fit between the aft hook retainer and the forward retainer. A load path is provided from a static structure through the aft hook retainer to the forward retainer.

A seal assembly includes a seal nose, a bellows, and a plurality of bristles. The seal nose is configured to be in sealing contact with a rotating seal plate, the bellows extends between and couples the seal nose to a support structure, and the plurality of bristles extends from the support structure toward the bellows, with at least one bristle of the plurality of bristles being in contact with the bellows to damp vibration of the bellows.
