<p>A locator (60) for a gearbox mount for a gas turbine engine includes a mounting plate (62) having a first stub shaft (66) that extends from the plate (62) into a receptacle (68) in the gearbox (40), a second stub shaft (50) that extends from the plate into a receptacle (72) in the engine case (22) and a load sensitive mechanism (80) disposed in either one of the stub shafts. During a high rotor imbalance event such as a fan blade loss condition, the load sensitive mechanism (80) shears to partially decouple the gearbox (40) from the engine case to minimize damage caused by high rotor imbalance loads. Alternate embodiments of the load sensitive mechanisms in the stub shaft are disclosed, including a diaphragm (80) and a wall (90) that yield to shear loads. <IMAGE></p> |
