Abstract:
An active clearance control system of a gas turbine engine includes an actuation cylinder, a puller engaged with an air seal segment and damped with respect to the actuation cylinder, and a full-hoop thermal control ring that at least partially supports the air seal segment. The puller may move the air seal segment between an extended radially contracted BOAS position and a retracted radially expanded BOAS position.
