ACTUATION APPARATUS FOR AN AIR MODULATING SYSTEM OF A GAS TURBINE

摘要

An air modulating system (70) for a gas turbine engine (20) includes a fixed plate (72) with a fluid passage inlet (74), a floating plate (76) with a first side (92) adjacent to the fluid passage inlet (74), an actuated mount (78) configured to move the floating plate (76) relative to the fixed plate (72), and a linkage element (80) for connecting the floating plate (76) to the actuated mount (78). The linkage element (80) includes a mounting flange (88) configured to slidably engage the floating plate (76).
