Abstract
A gimbal tube system for an onboard injector (OBI) includes a transfer tube having a first transfer tube end that can be mounted to an inner diameter of a stator platform and a second transfer tube end defining a transfer tube pivot connector. The system also includes a gimbal tube including a first gimbal tube end that defines a gimbal tube pivot connector that can movably mount to the transfer tube pivot connector such that the gimbal tube and the transfer tube can move relative to each other at a pivot joint defined between the transfer tube and the gimbal tube. The gimbal tube further includes a second gimbal tube end defining a nozzle that can be inserted into the OBI.
