Rotor hub seal

Abstract:

A gas turbine engine includes a rotor hub that extends along a longitudinal axis of the gas turbine engine and includes a radially outer surface that has a substantially axially extending projection and a substantially radially extending projection. A seal ring includes a body portion and at least one knife edge that extends outward from the body portion. A recess is in the body portion for accepting the axially extending portion of the rotor hub. A lock ring is in abutting contact with the seal ring and the radially extending projection on the rotor hub for securing the seal ring to the rotor hub.
