A method for manufacturing a compressor includes a step of installing a bundle having an O-ring on an outer peripheral surface inside a lower half casing so that a position of the O-ring in an axial direction coincides with a position of a lower half relief groove, a step of installing an upper half casing having an upper half relief groove on the lower half casing so that a position of the upper half relief groove in the axial direction coincides with the position of the O-ring, and a step of pressing the bundle in the axial direction to move the O-ring to a position away from the lower half relief groove and the upper half relief groove, and bringing the O-ring into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the lower half casing and the inner peripheral surface of the upper half casing.

An apparatus for a thrust reverser actuation system (“TRAS”), the apparatus comprising: an input shaft; a first component located concentrically around the input shaft; a second component located concentrically around the first component; a first ballscrew mechanism between the input shaft and the first component, and configured such that rotational movement of the input shaft causes a translational movement of the first component via the first ballscrew mechanism; and a second ballscrew mechanism between the first component and the second component, and configured such that rotational movement of the first component causes a translational movement of the second component via the second ballscrew mechanism.

An aspect of the present disclosure provides a diagnosis device for an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine 1 includes a variable geometry type turbocharger 14, and the turbocharger includes a variable vane 28, a link mechanism configured to operate the variable vane, and an actuator 29 configured to drive the link mechanism. The diagnosis device includes a control unit 100 configured to control an opening degree of the variable vane by controlling the actuator. The control unit determines that an abnormality has occurred in the link mechanism of the turbocharger when an operating time of the internal combustion engine in a predetermined operating region exceeds a predetermined upper limit value and a differential pressure between a target boost pressure determined according to an operating state of the internal combustion engine and an actual boost pressure exceeds a predetermined upper limit value.

A deployable grille with fins for a thrust-reversal system for an aircraft turbine engine. The grille can adopt a rest position and a deployed, active position wherein the fins are axially spaced further apart than in the rest position. At least between two fins, the grille includes resilient return device forcing the two fins to move apart axially from one another.

An actuation system includes a linear actuator extends longitudinally along an actuation axis. A first link extends along a first centerline parallel to the actuation axis, where first link is on a first side of the linear actuator. A second link extends along a second centerline parallel to the actuation axis, where the second link is on a second side of the linear actuator. The first and the second links are configured to transfer a load along the first and the second centerlines between the component and the linear actuator.

A hydraulic damping device includes a housing defining a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, a damping plate disposed within the housing, the damping plate including a plurality of damping holes defined therethrough and positioned to allow fluid communication between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet, and a blocking member disposed within the housing and configured to rotate relative to the damping plate to progressively block the damping holes.

A system for controlling the clearance distance between an impeller blade tip of a centrifugal compressor and a radially inner surface of an impeller shroud in a turbine engine. The system comprises a two-piece integral impeller shroud with a fixed inner member and a variable outer member. An actuator is coupled to an aft end of the variable outer member and imparts axially forward and aft motion on the aft end, causing deflection of the outer member.

A system for controlling the clearance distance between an impeller blade tip of a centrifugal compressor and a radially inner surface of a segregated impeller shroud in a turbine engine. The system comprises a driving mechanism coupled to a portion of a segregated impeller shroud. The driving mechanism comprises a driving arm and threaded axial member configured to translate motion of an actuator ring into axially forward and aft motion of the portion of the segregated impeller shroud.

A blower for an HVAC system, the blower includes a housing with an intake and an outlet, a fan or blower wheel disposed within the housing and configured to draw air into the housing via the intake and to exhaust air from the housing through the outlet, and an adjustable cutoff plate configured to be moved between at least a first position defining a first cutoff angle and a second position defining a second cutoff angle.

A variable area nozzle assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a nozzle disposed about a nozzle centerline and a fixed ring radially surrounding the nozzle. The nozzle includes a radially outer surface and a radially inner surface. The radially inner surface defines an outlet cross-sectional area of the nozzle. The nozzle is movable relative to the nozzle centerline between a first position of the radially inner surface defining a maximum area of the outlet cross-sectional area and a second position of the radially inner surface defining a minimum area of the outlet cross-sectional area. With the nozzle in the first position, the radially outer surface contacts the fixed ring. With the nozzle in the second position, the radially outer surface is spaced from the fixed ring.
