Abstract:
Conduits for guiding the motion of an inner diameter shroud of a low pressure compressor of a gas turbine engine are disclosed. The inner diameter shroud has at least three slots formed in one or more radially inwardly extending flanges. Each of the conduits are configured to assemble with a respective one of the at least three slots. Each conduit comprises a bushing having a first panel, and the first panel is capable of being inserted in a respective one of the slots of the inner diameter shroud. The conduit further comprises a bracket capable of being attached to a bearing support of a fan intermediate case of the gas turbine engine. The bushing is capable of being attached to the bracket. A contact between the first panel and the at least one slot of the inner diameter shroud restricts a circumferential rotation of the inner diameter shroud with respect to a central axis of the gas turbine engine when the first panel is inserted in the at least one slot, but allows a radial motion of the inner diameter shroud with respect to the central axis.
