An intershaft seal assembly that is between a first shaft and a second shaft of a bearing compartment of an engine includes a first seal element and a retaining element. The first seal element surrounds the first shaft and includes a first portion is in contact with the first shaft and a second portion extending in a non-parallel direction to a radial direction of the first shaft. The retaining element is threadably engaged with the first shaft such that the retaining element presses the first seal element against the shoulder of the first shaft.

A shaft sealing device includes a plurality of leaves that is arranged in a periphery of a rotating shaft and divides a space around the rotating shaft into two spaces in an axial direction of the rotating shaft, and a side seal plate that is arranged on one side of the plurality of leaves in the axial direction of the rotating shaft and has an opposite surface facing a side end on one side of the plurality of leaves. The side seal plate has a friction reducing portion for reducing a friction force between the opposite surface of the side seal plate and a surface of the side end on the one side of the plurality of leaves.

The composite seal structure includes a carrier ring and a seal element housed in an annular groove formed between a circumferential outer wall and two side walls of the carrier ring. The seal element has a first region in surface-to-surface contact with the annular groove and a second, seal-ing region protruding from the annular groove. A fastening arrangement couples the seal element and the carrier ring to one another. The fastening arrangement comprises a plurality of fastening pins circumferentially arranged around the axis of the carrier ring. Also disclosed is a method for manufacturing the seal structure.

A method for manufacturing a seal ring according to at least one embodiment is a method for manufacturing a circular seal ring, including: a step of forming a seal fin by turning an inner peripheral portion of a first member and a second member each having a semi-circular shape in a state where both end portions of each of the first member and the second member are in contact with each other; and a step of turning an outer peripheral portion of the first member and the second member in a state where the both end portions of each of the first member and the second member are spaced apart from each other.

A seal segment includes a flapper seal, a wire mesh acting as a hinge for the flapper seal, and a spring. The flapper seal has a first surface and a second surface. The wire mesh includes a first section connected to the first surface of the flapper seal and a second section connected to the first section. The spring includes a first end that is in contact with the first section of the wire mesh to apply pressure to the first surface of the flapper seal and a second end adjacent the second section of the wire mesh.

A turbine shroud adapted to extend around a bladed turbine wheel to block gasses from passing over the bladed turbine wheel is disclosed. In a segmented embodiment, each turbine shroud segment may include a carrier segment and a blade track segment. The carrier segment may comprise metallic materials and may be formed to define an attachment-receiving space. The blade track segment may comprise ceramic matrix composite materials and may be formed to include an attachment portion that extends radially outward from the runner into the attachment-receiving space formed by the carrier segment.

A leaf seal for sealing off a shaft rotating around an axis, particularly in a gas turbine, is disclosed. The leaf seal includes a plurality of leaves arranged spaced apart from one another, where the leaves are produced integrally with a basic element supporting the leaves by a generative production process. A process for producing a leaf seal for sealing off a shaft rotating around an axis is also disclosed.

A steam turbine system includes: a steam turbine having a casing into which steam is fed from an outside of the casing and a rotating shaft that is provided within the casing so as to be rotatable around a central axis; a deaerator that is connected to the steam turbine and that deaerates leaked steam that has leaked from a gap between the casing and the rotating shaft to the outside of the casing; a vacuum pump that is connected to the deaerator and that lowers a pressure within the deaerator; and a shaft sealing device that is connected to the deaerator and that seals the gap between the casing and the rotating shaft. The shaft sealing device has a seal member having a seal body, a housing, a biasing member, and a negative-pressure introduction part.

A seal assembly includes an annular base, a spring, a shoe, a first channel, a seal cover, and a seal. The spring includes a beam and is connected to the annular base. The shoe is disposed radially inward of the annular base and connected to the spring. The shoe includes an upstream portion, a downstream portion, and a lip connected to and extending radially outward from the upstream portion of the shoe. The spring extends from the annular base to the shoe. The first channel is positioned between the shoe and the beam of the spring. The seal is disposed between the seal cover and the shoe such that a downstream face of the seal is in contact with an upstream face of the shoe.

A seal assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a seal carrier located at a first rotating component of the gas turbine engine. The seal carrier includes an axially forward seal carrier and an axially aft seal carrier. The axially aft seal carrier is located aft of the axially forward seal carrier relative to an engine central longitudinal axis. The axially forward seal carrier and the axially aft seal carrier define a seal recess therebetween. A seal body is positioned in the seal recess and is configured to slidably move in the seal recess and seal to a second rotating component of the gas turbine engine.
