<p>Appropriate location of components such as vanes (1, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 91) in gas turbine engines is important. These components are located between tangs (7, 27, 37, 47, 57, 67, 87, 97) held in interference engagement. There are four relatively rigid mounting points constituted by the tangs (7, 27, 37, 47, 57, 67, 87, 97) engaging respective opposed slots (8) in a casing (3) or a mounting ring (2). Only three point limitation with respect to displacement and rotation is adequate so provision of a fourth locator causes unnecessary constraint. A relatively resilient or compliant locator (37, 47, 57, 67, 87, 97) means it is possible to reduce the amount of constraint upon the component mounting whilst the other locators (7, 27) are adequate for positioning of the component (1, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 91).</p> |
