Abstract
A turbine assembly includes a turbine case, a turbine shroud assembly including a carrier segment, and a locating plate. The locating plate is coupled with the turbine case axially forward of the carrier segment to block axially forward movement of the carrier segment and prevent separation of the carrier segment from the turbine case. The locating plate includes a main wall, a raised portion extending upwardly a first radial distance, and two circumferentially spaced apart extensions extending upwardly a second radial distance. The second radial distance is greater than the first radial distance such that, in a first arrangement, only the extensions contact the turbine case and such that, in a second arrangement, the raised portion is pulled toward the turbine case via a fastener so as to contact the turbine case in addition to the extensions.
