Axial retention assembly for combustor components of a gas turbine engine

Abstract:

The present subject matter is directed to an axial retention assembly for combustor components of a gas turbine engine. The axial retention assembly may include a combustor having include a liner defining a liner aperture extending therethrough. Additionally, the combustor may further include a sleeve defining a sleeve aperture extending therethrough, with the sleeve positioned radially outward from and at least partially circumferentially positioned around the liner. Furthermore, the axial retention assembly may include a frame having a mounting projection positioned within the sleeve aperture. Moreover, the axial retention assembly may include a clamp plate adjustably coupled to the frame. In addition, the axial retention assembly may include a clamp plate adjustment rod extending through the liner aperture and threadingly engaging the clamp plate such that relative movement between the liner and the sleeve along the axial centerline is reduced.
