ABSTRACT:
A linkage (36) is provided for manipulating an internal component (32) of a turbofan gas turbine engine (10) in response to an externally mounted actuator (50). The linkage includes a radial torque shaft (38) supported between two spherical bearings (40, 42). The shaft (38) is slidable within the radially outer bearing (42) for accommodating relative radial movement in addition to relative axial and circumferential movement between the inner compressor case (26) and the outer fan duct (28).
