Original Abstract Submitted
A stator assembly is provided and includes a stator element and a radial height adjustment mechanism. The stator assembly includes an inboard portion which establishes a primary clearance with rotor elements and exhibits a measurable parameter corresponding to the primary clearance and an outboard portion integrally formed with the inboard portion. The radial height adjustment mechanism is coupled with the outboard portion and configured to be operable, based on the measurable parameter, to adjust a radial height of the stator element and in turn to adjust the primary clearance.
