A clearance control assembly for providing clearance control between a blade outer air seal and an airfoil tip of a gas turbine engine includes an outer case, a first blade outer air seal carrier, a blade outer air seal, an actuator, a load-applying member, and a lever. The first blade outer air seal carrier is positioned radially inward of the outer case. The blade outer air seal is positioned radially inward of and mounted to the blade outer air seal carrier. The load-applying member is positioned to be acted upon by the actuator during operation of the actuator. The lever is connected to the case and is operably in contact with the load-applying member and the first blade outer air seal carrier.

A compressor with negative coefficient of thermal expansion case material comprising a rotor having blades with tips, the case including an inner case comprising a negative coefficient of thermal expansion material, and a tip clearance located between the tips and the inner case; wherein the tip clearance is maintained responsive to a flow of air over the negative coefficient of thermal expansion material.

An assembly is provided for a turbine engine with an axial centerline. This turbine engine assembly includes a blade outer air seal segment, a linkage, a rocker arm and an actuation device. The linkage is attached to the blade outer air seal segment. The rocker arm includes a first arm and a second arm engaged with the linkage. The actuation device is engaged with the first arm. The actuation device is configured to pivot the rocker arm and thereby radially move the blade outer air seal segment.

A gas turbine engine, system, and method with clearance control are provided. For example, the gas turbine engine includes a static component, and a rotating component that shifts axially in one of an aft direction and a forward direction in relation to the static component during a first operating condition of the gas turbine engine, and shifts axially in the other of the aft direction and the forward direction in relation to the static component during a second operating condition of the gas turbine engine. The first operating condition is when a rotating component growth and a static component growth change at different rates. The second operating condition is when the rotating component growth and static component growth normalize.
