Abstract
A mounting assembly 2 for mounting a gearbox 10 to a gas turbine engine, comprising a mount ring 4 and a spigot pin 8 having a flange 22 at one end. The spigot pin 8 extends radially outwardly through a bore 14 in the mount ring 4 for engagement with a gearbox 10 and the flange 22 locates against a radially inner surface of the mount ring 4. The bore 14 supports the spigot pin 8 and dissipates forces exerted on the spigot pin 8, for example forces generated during a fan blade-off event.
Claims14
An installation having a gearbox supported by a mounting assembly having a mount ring and a spigot pin having a flange at one end, wherein the gearbox is suspended beneath the mount ring by two or more links, each link comprising a link arm that is connected to the mount ring at one end of the arm and connected to the gearbox at the other end of the arm, the spigot pin extending radially outwardly through a bore in the mount ring to engage with the gearbox and the flange locates against a radially inner surface of the mount ring.
