摘要:
An air turbine starter includes a support structure and a turbine having a shaft and a rotor that extends away from the shaft in a radial direction. The air turbine starter also includes a mount structure that supports the turbine for rotation relative to the support structure. The mount structure is configured to transfer a force from the turbine to the support structure. The mount structure includes a deformable member that is configured to deform when the force exceeds a predetermined threshold.

An air turbine starter includes a starter housing and a check valve. The check valve is disposed within the starter housing and is configured, in response to a pressure differential across the check valve, to selectively allow and prevent lubricant to flow therefrom. The check valve includes a valve includes a valve body, a valve seat, a valve bore, a valve element, and a plurality of rounded grooves. The valve bore is formed in the valve body between the valve seat and the lubricant outlet port. The valve element is disposed within the valve bore and is movable between a plurality of open positions and a closed position. The rounded grooves are formed in the valve body, and are disposed adjacent to, and in fluid communication with, the valve bore to improve lubricant to flow past the valve element when the valve element is in an open position.
