The adjustment ring (40) is supported on the bearing housing (16) and is supported on, and piloted relative to, an axially extending nose portion (17) of the bearing housing (16) by surface features (60) formed along an inner edge (43) of the adjustment ring (40).

An automatic folding blade type fan mounting frame structure includes a main machine, wherein the main machine is provided with a fan blade mounting frame. The fan blade mounting frame is provided with at least two mounting holes, and fan blade assemblies are arranged on the mounting holes of the fan blade mounting frame. The fan blade assembly includes blades. The fan blade mounting frame is provided with a folding structure. Tie rods are arranged between two adjacent fan blade assemblies. The fan blade mounting frame is provided with reinforcing convex ribs between two adjacent mounting holes. This fan structure improves the structural strength of the product and reduces frame deformation.

There is disclosed a pressure responsive valve 352 for controlling a cooling flow through an orifice 320 in a gas turbine assembly 300. The valve 352 comprises an attachment point 360, a valve element 358, and a compressible valve body 354 defining a chamber 355 for sealing a volume of compressible gas. The valve body 354 is configured to act between the attachment point 360 and the valve element 358 so that in use expansion or contraction of the valve body 354 in response to external pressure causes the valve element 358 to move relative the orifice 320. A corresponding kit, method of installation and gas turbine assembly are disclosed.

A pitch control mechanism includes: a rotor structure configured for rotation about a longitudinal axis; a row of blades carried by the rotor structure, each blade having an airfoil and a trunnion mounted for pivoting movement relative to the rotor structure, about a trunnion axis which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; a unison ring interconnecting the blades; an actuator connected to the unison ring and the rotor structure, operable to move the unison ring relative to the rotor structure; at least one moveable counterweight carried by the rotor structure, remote from the blades; and an interconnection between the blades and the counterweight, such that movement of the counterweight causes a change in the pitch angle of the blades.

An actuated shroud system configured to control tip clearances in a rotatable machine is provided. The system includes a rotor including a plurality of blades. Each of the plurality of blades includes a blade tip, and each blade tip includes a radially outer tip surface angled in the radial direction. The system also includes a shroud circumscribing the plurality of blades and including a radially inner surface angled complementarily to the radially outer tip surface of the blade tip. The radially inner surface and the radially outer tip surface define a tip clearance gap therebetween. The system further includes a shroud actuator operably coupled to the shroud, the shroud actuator configured to translate the shroud in at least one of an axial direction and the radial direction such that the tip clearance gap is variable based on a position of the shroud actuator.

A steam valve includes: a valve main body which has, on the inside thereof, a flow path through which steam flows, and has a valve seat formed in a portion of the flow path; a valve body which comes into contact with the valve seat, thereby shutting off the flow path, and is separated from the valve seat, thereby opening the flow path; a valve shaft which is connected to the valve body, extends in an upward direction from the valve body, and moves up and down, thereby bringing the valve body into contact with the valve seat and separating the valve body from the valve seat; a hydraulic drive unit which is disposed to be separated in a horizontal direction from the valve main body, at a position which does not overlap the valve main body in a case of being viewed from above, and has a drive rod which is driven forward and backward by oil pressure; a first link unit which connects the drive rod and the valve shaft and transmits the forward and backward drive of the drive rod to the valve shaft, thereby moving the valve shaft up and down; a second link unit connected to the valve main body; and a connection unit which connects the second link unit and the first link unit and transmits a movement of the valve main body in the horizontal direction to the first link unit through the second link unit.

An active bypass flow control system for controlling bypass compressed air based upon leakage flow of compressed air flowing past an outer balance seal between a stator and rotor of a first stage of a gas turbine in a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The active bypass flow control system is an adjustable system in which one or more metering devices may be used to control the flow of bypass compressed air as the flow of compressed air past the outer balance seal changes over time as the outer balance seal between the rim cavity and the cooling cavity wears In at least one embodiment, the metering device may include an annular ring having at least one metering orifice extending therethrough, whereby alignment of the metering orifice with the outlet may be adjustable to change a cross-sectional area of an opening of aligned portions of the outlet and the metering orifice.

In at least one embodiment, the metering device may include a valve formed from one or more pins movable between open and closed positions in which the one pin at least partially bisects the bypass channel to regulate flow.

A linear motion mechanism (27) is provided with: a cylinder rod (312) into which a ball screw (30) can be inserted, said cylinder rod (312) comprising a base end section that is connected to a nut (311) within a piston casing (36) and a tip section (312a) that is exposed on the outside of the piston casing (36); a nut-side grease supply hole (321) that is formed in the nut (311) and that comprises a discharge port (323) that opens toward the outer circumferential surface of the ball screw (30); and a cylinder rod-side grease supply hole (322) that is formed in the cylinder rod (312), that comprises on one end thereof an inlet (324) that opens at a position that is exposed to the outer section of the piston casing (36), and that comprises another end (322b) that is connected to the nut-side grease supply hole (321).
