GROMMET FOR GAS TURBINE VANE

摘要

A vane assembly for a gas turbine engine includes an annular shroud having openings therein and a plurality of vanes extending radially from the shroud and each having an extremity received within one of the openings. A grommet is positioned within each opening for shielding the vane extremity from the annular shroud. The grommet includes an annular protrusion for providing sealing between the opening and the vane extremity, and an annular restraint element adjacent the protrusion for retaining the vane in place relative to the shroud.
