More Information
Summary:A controlled gap radial oil sealing assembly in a gas turbine engine having a centre rotational axis defining an axial direction, the controlled gap radial sealing assembly comprises a seal element located around a cooperating seal runner and sized to define a controlled sealing gap between them, the seal runner having an axial length extending beyond an axial width of the seal element into an oiled region of the engine. A first annular surface radially outwardly spaced from and extending substantially along the axial length of the seal runner, the first annular surface sealingly cooperating with a seal housing of the seal element, and a second annular surface axially extending to overlap at least a portion of the first annular surface, the second annular surface radially outwardly spaced from the first annular surface relative to the center axis.
