Zusammenfassung:A gas turbine engine rotor assembly, comprising: a shaft about an axis having an outer surface radially outward and a groove radially into the outer surface; a disc surrounding the shaft rotatable with the shaft about the axis, the disc having an inner surface extending axially defining an inner diameter, having a disc profile around the groove and axially away from and radially inwardly of the inner diameter, the shaft and the disc defining a gap circumscribed outwardly by the inner diameter and inwardly by the outer surface; and a seal including a split ring fitted into the groove and rotatable with the shaft about the axis, the ring having a ring profile complementary to the disc profile, the ring resiliently expandable radially in the gap to the inner diameter, the disc profile cooperable with the ring profile to axially load the shaft via the ring expanded across the gap.
