ENGINE GENERAL CONCEPT
The CFM56-C engine is a high by-pass, dual rotor, axial

flow, advanced technology turbofan. It is supported by
the wing pylon and streamlined by cowlings.
Air is sucked into the intake by the fan blades and split
into two flow paths, the Primary and the Secondary.
The primary airflow passes through the inner portion of

the fan blades and is directed into a booster (LPC).
The flow path then enters a High Pressure Compressor

(HPC) and goes to a combustor. Mixed with fuel and
ignited, the gas flow provides energy to a High Pressure
Turbine (HPT) and a Low Pressure Turbine (LPT) and
then produces approximately 20% of the total thrust.
The secondary airflow passes through the outer portion

of the fan blades, the Outlet Guide Vanes (OGV’s) and
exits through the nacelle discharge duct, producing
approximately 80% of the total thrust. It also plays a role
in the thrust reverser system.
At static take-off power, the engine by-pass ratio is

between 6.4:1 and 6.6:1, depending on the engine
model, which means that the secondary airflow takes in
between 6.4 and 6.6 times more air than the primary
airflow.

occurs, or when lifetime limits of parts are reached. concentration of metal found indicates the
beginning of parts damage.
For this reason, to monitor and maintain the health of the
engine, different tools are available, which are: - Engine vibration monitoring system: sensors
located in various positions in the engine, send
- Engine performance trend monitoring, to evaluate vibration values to the on-board monitoring system.

installation on the aircraft.
- Borescope inspection, to check the condition of

engine internal parts: when parts are not
accessible, they can be visually inspected with
borescope probes inserted in ports located on the
engine outer casing.
- Lubrication particles analysis: while circulating in

the oil system, lubrication oil is filtered, and large,
visible-to-the-eye particles (larger than 10 microns)
coming from worn engine parts are collected in
filters and magnetic chip detectors, for visual
inspection and analysis.

The CFM56-5C engine consists of two independent

rotating systems:
- The low pressure system rotational speed is
designated N1.
- The high pressure system rotational speed is
designated N2.
The engine rotors are supported by 5 bearings, identified

in manuals as numbers 1 thru 5, where No. 1 is the most
forward and No. 5 the most aft. These bearings are
housed in 2 dry sump cavities provided by the fan and
turbine frames.
Engine structural rigidity is obtained with short lengths

between two main structures (frames).
The accessory drive system uses energy from the high

pressure compressor rotor to drive the engine and
aircraft accessories. It also plays a major role in starting.

Main Engine Bearings
The engine contains five main bearings, which support

the rotors.
There are two types of bearings:

- Ball bearings, which absorb axial and radial loads
- Roller bearings, which absorb only radial loads
Bearings need permanent oil lubrication, so they are

located in the two dry sump cavities, which are pressure
sealed.
- The forward sump cavity houses No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3

bearings:
- No. 1 and No. 2 bearings hold the fan shaft
- No. 3 bearing holds the front of the HP shaft
- The rear sump cavity houses No. 4 and No. 5 bearings:

- No. 4 bearing holds the rear of the HP shaft
- No. 5 bearing holds the rear of the LPT shaft

The purposes of the fan and booster are :
- to accelerate air overboard to generate thrust.

- to increase the pressure of the air directed to the
High Pressure Compressor (HPC).
After entering the air inlet cowl, the total engine airflow
passes through the fan rotor, which increases the air’s
kinetic energy.
Most of the airflow is ducted overboard producing

approximately 80% of the total thrust. The remainder is
directed through the booster, where it is pressurized
before entering the HPC.

It is at the front of the engine and is a hollow cone-

shaped structure, which is attached on its rear flange to
the spinner rear cone. The attachment is an interference
fitting.
Older versions could be made of either a composite

material, or aluminum alloy. In the case of aluminum alloy
cones, an extra 6 washers must be installed. New version
spinner front cones will only be made of aluminum.
The rear flange has 6 mounting screw locations and 3

threaded inserts, located every 120°, for installation of
jackscrews used in removal procedures.
An offset hole, identified by an indent mark, ensures

correct installation and centering onto the rear cone front
flange.

The No 3 bearing
The No 3 bearing assembly consists of a ball bearing and

a roller bearing.
The assembly is installed between the IGB housing and

the horizontal bevel gear.
The No 3 ball bearing acts as the core engine thrust

bearing and provides axial positioning of the forward end
of the HPC rotor.
The roller bearing is located directly after the ball bearing

and radially positions the core engine rotor.
The bearings and gear are lubricated and cooled by oil,

supplied through the forward sump oil manifold assembly.

The rotating air/oil seal provides the sealing of the aft end
of the forward sump and acts as a locknut for the No 3
bearing.
Holes between the two aft seal teeth allow passage of

sump pressurizing air.
Holes passing underneath the forward seal teeth allow oil

to be drained into the No 3 bearing cavity.
The rotating air/oil seal has internal threads for

installation onto the horizontal bevel gear and its front
face locks the No 3 bearing inner races in position.

THE TRANSFER GEARBOX
The Radial Drive Shaft (RDS)
The Radial Drive Shaft transmits power from the IGB to

the TGB.
It is installed inside fan frame strut No 6, at 6 o’clock.
It consists of the radial drive shaft, which comes in two

parts and a mid-length bearing.
The RDS is hollow and made of steel alloy.
It measures approximately 29.52 ins (0.75 m).
Both ends are externally splined and connect the IGB

bevel gear with the TGB input bevel gear.
A foolproof slot is machined on the shaft to avoid

inversion of the RDS during installation.
The lower end of the shaft has a shoulder, which prevents

disengagement and ensures correct seating into the gear.
The shaft mid-length bearing provides proper centering of

the RDS in its housing. Its inner race is mounted halfway
up on the RDS and the outer race is part of the RDS
housing.
