An intershaft seal assembly (30) for use between an inner shaft (32) and an outer shaft (31) within a turbine engine is presented. The seal assembly (30) includes a sealing ring (33), centrifugal retaining plates (102), and end rings (37, 38). The sealing ring (33) further includes a plurality of asymmetric ring segments (34) whereby each asymmetric ring segment (34) further includes a vertical flange (46) and horizontal flanges (47) extending from the vertical flange (46) in a non-symmetric arrangement. At least one slot (104) is disposed along each horizontal flange (47). The sealing ring (33) is interposed between the centrifugal retaining plates (102). Each centrifugal retaining plate (102) includes a plurality of tabs (103) extending therefrom. Each tab (103) is engaged by one slot (104). The sealing ring (33) and the centrifugal retaining plates (102) are interposed between the end rings (37, 38). Each centrifugal retaining plate (102) is directly interposed between one horizontal flange (47) and one end ring (37, 38). The vertical flange (46) extends from between the end rings (37, 38) in the direction of the outer shaft (31). A non-contact seal is formed between an outer sealing surface (62) along the vertical flange (46) and an inner sealing surface (63) along the outer shaft (31). |
