<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for manufacturing a compact inlet guide vane system and reducing the force required to operate the inlet guide vane system. <P>SOLUTION: Components of the inlet guide vane system, including but not limited to an actuation rod, an actuation ring, crank rods, cranks, and associated connectors and bushings, are assembled in the same plane. In this regard, when a force is applied to the actuator rod and transferred through the inlet guide vane system components, the force acts in a single plane. Further, the plane is centered over the rotational axial center of the actuating ring. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
