Seal assembly for a turbo machine

A turbo machine, the turbo machine comprising:

• a rotor assembly rotatable relative to a centerline axis, wherein the rotor assembly comprises a rotor face extended radially and circumferentially relative to the centerline axis;
• a stator structure adjacent to the rotor assembly;
• and
• a seal assembly attached to the stator structure, wherein the seal assembly comprises:
• a fluid bearing wall comprising a bearing face, wherein the bearing face and the rotor face together define a clearance therebetween, and wherein the bearing face defines a fluid opening through the fluid bearing wall in fluid communication with the clearance;
• a tilt member extended from the fluid bearing wall and attached thereto, wherein the tilt member defines a fluid passage therethrough in fluid communication with the fluid opening at the bearing face of the fluid bearing wall;
• a seal body surrounding the tilt member, wherein a cavity is defined between the tilt member and the seal body;
• and
• a spring member coupled to the seal body and the fluid bearing wall, wherein a passage is defined between the fluid bearing wall and the seal body;
• and wherein the cavity and the passage are in fluid communication.
