<p>An assembly, for example in a gas turbine engine, comprises a rotatable component 24, 26 supported by a bearing 30 in a support structure 16. A sealing arrangement 38 comprises a non-rotating sealing ring 56 which makes sealing contact with sealing features 60 on the rotatable component 24, 26. The non-rotating sealing ring 56 is radially displaceable with respect to the support structure 16 by means of ribs 62, 64 which engage axially facing support faces 66, 68 of the support structure 16. The non-rotating sealing ring 56 is radially located by an outer, non-rotating, race 44 of the bearing 30, by means of a locating surface 76 on a locating body 74 of the non-rotating sealing ring 56. As a result of this arrangement, the running clearance at the sealing arrangement 38 can be maintained, despite radial displacement of the rotatable component 24, 26 with respect to the support structure 16, and despite thermal and mechanical deflections of the support structure 16.</p> |
