Abstract:
A radial position control assembly for a gas turbine engine stage includes a case structure. A supported structure is operatively supported by the case structure. The supported structure includes a hook providing an annular recess. A support ring is received in the recess. The supported structure and the support ring have different coefficients of thermal expansion. A sealing structure is adjacent to the supported structure. The support ring maintains the supported structure relative to the sealing structure at a clearance during thermal transients based upon a circumferential gap between adjacent supported structure and based upon a radial gap between the support ring and the supported structure.
