Abstract
A mounting assembly includes an annular supporting flange disposed coaxially about a centerline axis which has a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart supporting holes therethrough. An annular liner is disposed coaxially with the supporting flange and includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart mounting holes aligned with respective ones of the supporting holes. Each of a plurality of mounting pins includes a proximal end fixedly joined to the supporting flange through a respective one of the supporting holes, and a distal end disposed through a respective one of the liner mounting holes for supporting the liner to the supporting flange while unrestrained differential thermal movement of the liner relative to the supporting flange.

A mounting assembly subject to combustion gases in a gas turbine engine comprising:
- an annular supporting flange disposed coaxially about a centerline axis, and including a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart supporting holes extending radially therethrough;
- an annular liner for bounding said combustion gases at least in part and disposed coaxially with said supporting flange, said liner having a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart mounting holes radially aligned with respective ones of said supporting holes;
- and
- a plurality of mounting pins, each having a proximal end fixedly joined to said supporting flange through a respective one of said supporting holes, and a distal end radially slidably disposed through a respective one of said mounting holes for mounting said liner to said supporting flange while allowing unrestrained differential thermal movement of said liner relative to said supporting flange.
