1. Main bearing oil seals used with turbine engines are usually what type(s)?

Teflon and synthetic rubber. Labyrinth and/or carbon rubbing. Labyrinth and/or silicone rubber.

2. If, during inspection at engine overhaul, ball or roller bearings are found to have magnetism but otherwise have no defects, they
are in an acceptable service condition cannot be used again must be degaussed before use

3. Rolling elements in the main shaft bearings are normally constructed of

steel alloys high speed steel titanium

153 21761 153

4. Interstage seals are used to

provide a seal between two rotating shafts seal bearing chambers prevent gas leaking into cavities between turbine discs

5. A carbon seal has which type of sealing arrangement?

Full contact with labyrinth Full contact with race Full contact with casing

6. Which of the following is true about ball and roller bearings?

A roller bearing has less friction than any other type Both are cold section bearings A ball bearing has less friction than any other type

7. The highest turbine bearing temperature takes place

all the time at start-up at shut-down

8. Indentations on bearing races caused by high static loads are known as

galling fretting brinelling

9. The function of a labyrinth seal is to create

an airtight seal between fixed adjacent casing surfaces an airtight seal between fixed and rotation components a restricted leakage of air between fixed and rotating components

10. The bearings of a compressor rotor are usually

ball and roller

sintered plain

11. Bearing seal failure would most probably cause

high oil temperature low oil pressure high oil consumption

12. Why are oil seals pressurised?

To ensure oil is forced into the bearings To ensure minimum oil loss To ensure that the oil is prevented from leaving the bearing housing

13. What bearing is used to take axial loads on a main rotation shaft of a gas turbine engine?
Roller bearing Plain bearing Ball bearing

14. Seals on a gas turbine engine restrict leakage of oil by

closely tolerated contacting components air pressure spring pressure

15. An abradable lining in the fan case

prevents fan blade tip rub produces less leakage at tips for anti-ice provides acoustic medium

16. What is the purpose of pressure balance seal?

To ensure LP compressor is statically balanced To ensure HP compressor is dynamically balanced To ensure the location bearing is adequately loaded throughout the engine thrust range

17. Squeeze film bearings are usually found on

LP compressor section the turbine section HP compressor section

18. Taper roller bearings accept loads in which direction?

Radial and axial in both directions Radial and axial in one direction only Axial loads only

19. Some labyrinth seals

are self lubricating control the outflow of air at the turbine are spring loaded

20. The purpose of 'squeeze film' type bearing is to

improve outer race cooling increase the flow of oil to the rolling element minimise the effect of vibration

21. In a jet engine the rotating assembly oil seals are maintained oil tight by means of
an annular expander ring air pressure a garter seal
